Trump wanted a Nobel Peace Prize while militarizing his own country, ruling like a wannabe dictator, and dividing his people. Maria Corina Machado won it for resisting militarization, defending democracy, and uniting Venezuela. Trump is literally the opposite of the winner.

I share "White Flight" with students when I want them to understand that people didn't reject public services (esp. education) because they were ineffective. They rejected them BECAUSE they were effective but benefitted all and not a select group. So, they formed private options to limit benefits.
As I detailed in WHITE FLIGHT, segregationists in Atlanta absolutely loved public services -- buses and trolleys, parks and pools, golf courses and tennis courts, etc. -- right until they were forced to desegregate and "stolen" from them. They abandoned them and built up private alternatives.

Spot on (referring to the 2nd paragraph). This is what happened during Covid.
It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America:
1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI
2) kill universities
3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub
4) empty the cities
5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen

This MF is selling our country.
Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

This is almost too stupid to comment on, but I hope it's clear to everyone what's going on here: authoritarians bully you into doing little shit like this as a way to train you to comply, to grease the skids for bigger things. You talk yourself into a little thing, the next thing is easier.

This exchange is going to slip by and go undercovered but this is a very revealing moment. Trump’s government won’t study anything, they will just tell us everything is going great no matter who gets hurt.

REPORTER: Would you direct agencies to study the impact tariffs would have on prices in the US?
TRUMP: No. There's nothing to study. It's gonna go well.

Yep. That’s my flag just as much as any American.
I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

Murphy: "That's just fancy talk to say, 'we're gonna give money to people who pledge loyalty to Trump, and we're not gonna give money to people who don't pledge loyalty.' Today it may be government contracts, but tomorrow it may be your tax refund."

Agreed.
It's amazing how badly most congressional Democrats are misreading the mood of their base.
On the bright side, if you're ever considered running for Congress, the 2026 Democratic Party primaries are going to be a prime moment for "throw the old guard out" insurgents.

The playoff bracket hasn’t been announced yet, but I will say that the 12 team playoff was created with the intent to have 4 SEC, 4 B1G and ND every year. So that leaves 1 spot for the ACC, B12 and G5. I hope they prove me wrong.
