the thing about signalgate is that it’s a scandal hegseth was ever nominated for this job, a scandal that 50 senators and vp vance voted to confirm him, and a scandal trump didn’t fire him months ago

This is a) likely correct, say at least 50% odds, maybe more and b) sadly, almost certainly our best/only hope.
We will need to wait and see what happens with the tariffs case, and what the opinion actually looks like, but I think the court is actively hunting for easy "impartiality" wins so it can continue its calvin ball bs.

It's almost impossible to make me feel sorry for Trump, but the sheer depth of his brokeness, combined with his age, the utter humiliation involved in this farce was making me legit sad.

This, within the same 24-48 hour period that we learn that national parks will no longer be free on MLK Day or Juneteenth (but will be on Trump's birthday). If they were trying to prove they're white supremacists, what would they be doing differently?
It has long been clear that unalloyed racism lies at the core of Trumpism, and he is becoming increasingly explicit about this.

As Americans, we may no longer be able to say ‘this isn’t who we are’.
But we can still say ‘this isn’t who we should be’.
And whether it’s in the face of cruelty or corruption or hatred or indifference, we ought to repeat that mantra every day to remind ourselves of what we are fighting for.

Cartoonishly racist. Good on trump's interns and handlers for not even trying to hide it anymore.
"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

This is beyond grotesque. If it were a movie villain doing a monologue, the director would tell him to tone it down for the next take.
Trump ends the marathon cabinet ego-stroking session with a viciously racist rant about Somalians in Minnesota and Rep. Omar
He calls them “garbage”, “we don’t want them in our country”, Somalia “Stinks”, they “contribute nothing”, and “88% of Somalians get welfare” (a lie🤥 )
