There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Every single thing here was discoverable before 2024 (if not before 2020) if reporters had merely taken “why was Trump so close with Epstein?” to its logical limits. They waited until soup-brained Republicans got mad at him over the obvious to look into it.

one thing i think people should ask the court conservatives given this ruling is what, specifically, was wrong with plessy?
🚨By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court UPHOLDS Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, concluding that it does NOT discriminate on the basis of sex, is not subject to heightened scrutiny, and survives rational basis review. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

My hunch is that, as we saw with Lafayette Park, National Guard troops are not going to be as compliant as this administration thinks. It’s one thing to unleash cops consumed by warrior cop culture on neighborhoods. Quite another to send reservists who are also accountants, barbers, and teachers.

It's pretty funny that none of the conspiracy theorists can make the logical inference that Trump - who was President at the time and was a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein for years - was actually the one who ordered him to be killed.

Positive early Senate GOP reaction to Trump pausing his own tariffs:
“Terrific,” says Ted Cruz.
“Relieved “ says Ron Johnson.
“Great leadership,” says Eric Schmitt.
Susan Collins says it’s not enough and Congress needs to retake its power to impose tariffs from the executive.
