The House hasn’t shown up for work in weeks. Members of Congress should be required to meet work requirements to maintain their own health benefits. Can we see how that'd go?

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.

Trump’s immigration crackdown is risking higher food prices for Americans, according to the Trump admin itself.
DOL warned in an obscure document last week that “near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens” is threatening “stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers.”

I don't know why I keep reaching in my mind for this analogy but American political culture feels to me right now like what Moses found when he returned from Mt Sinai and everyone had said "screw it" and started worshipping the golden calf.

Cyber resilience is not a luxury for modern nations; it’s a strategic necessity. Which makes President Trump’s recent decision to gut the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) even more dangerous.

This is Torestk, a Ukrainian town, once alive, now crushed to rubble under Russian shelling. Schools, stadiums, culture centers, factories — all reduced to lifeless ruins.
This is not a "special military operation", it’s a genocide of cities.

Just keep in mind: The day will come when America is no longer held hostage by a sociopath, a convicted felon, an arsonist and a vengeful, narcissistic sadist who revels in the pain and suffering of others and builds his fortune on the ruins of public liberty. May it come soon.

Trump’s Tariffs would be held illegal if the Constitution’s separation of powers were taken seriously. Hell, they’d be struck down by Trump’s Supreme Court if its Major Questions Doctrine and its commitments to original meaning and textualism were consistently applied to Article I and IEEPA. 🔥
