Donald Trump is showing us what's possible.

Anything is possible.

The president can send troops into cities.

The president can make $5 billion off of crypto in plain sight.

The president can tear down an entire section of the White House and build an Epstein ballroom.

Every time I return to LA I like to visit the giant vacant fucking lot near where I used to live in Chinatown, right next the $150mn metro station. I lived there in 2015. Ten years, three relationships, two graduate degrees, two presidents later, the lot remains. It will probably outlast me.
If there was any doubt that affordability is not is the platform of choice for Democrats in 2026, LA’s Mayor Karen Bass is making that clear in her reelection kickoff speech.

“LA is not for sale,” she says, to billionaires who are pursuing “public office as their vanity project.”

Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups.

This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

Americans are angry because we're constantly being asked by elites to believe what we all know are lies, like "this team with two losses deserves a shot at the college football national championship." They don't. Facts don't care about your feelings.

Broke: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie, it’s an action film
Woke: Die Hard is set at Christmas. Christmas film
Bespoke: Die Hard is about death, judgement, and deliverance from evil (and people anticipating the celebration of Christmas with an office party) and is therefore clearly an Advent movie

Never noticed this, but it appears Kash Patel is the first FBI director to deviate from the usual coat-and-tie uniform. Other directors have always worn a suit, even in critical moments, such as Robert Mueller meeting with reporters on 9/11.

By contrast, Patel favors a tactical jacket that says "FBI." Sam Stein at The Bulwark reports that Patel allegedly wouldn't disembark the plane in the aftermath of the Kirk assassination without wearing an FBI raid jacket, which he borrowed from an agent.

I actually think it’s okay to take a ridiculous scandal seriously when it involves a wingnut conspiracy theorist in charge of things like vaccine policy and pandemic preparedness

RFK Jr. is neither a joke nor a well-intentioned proponent of public health with a few kooky beliefs. He's a menace, evil even by the standards of Trump's inner circle, and the failure of the political press to convey this is maddening

At a fundraiser in the Bay Area with v educated and informed people and a few said, "Hey Fuentes and Owens have changed! They're really good on some issues!"

Sigh. Don't sleep on this, folks.
I believe Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens have the pulse of the modern MAGA movement going forward.

You can laugh at them and dismiss them as cranks, but you have to pay attention to what they're selling.

This is what comes after Trump.
