Right because they are not running for re-election. I don’t know how else to say this.

They. Aren’t. Running. For. Reelection.
I think what’s most striking about the last few months is how rarely anyone in the GOP applies this simple test. A lot of checks and balances rely on this kind of worrying about precedent but it’s now totally absent, as if they don’t think they’ll ever be out of power again.
Listen to this National Review writer. (Although I would prefer it if people supported the First Amendment on principle, not just out of self-interest.)

Fodder for novels about our times:

1) Trump Commerce Sec H Lutnick says people won't really notice if SocSec misses a payment cycle: www.axios.com/2025/03/21/s...

2) Lutnick just bought house in DC for $25 million, all cash

3) Seller: Bret Baier of Fox

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Kushner has had illegal investments in West Bank settlements since before Trumps first term as well as a stated interested in taking over Gaza. The Trump, Kushner, and Netanyahu crime families go back decades. This is absolutely a serious plan and it’s done in conjunction with other accomplices.

Some thoughts on Wednesday-night’s tragic air accident near Washington, DC:

The mid-air collision of American Airlines flight 5342 and a US Army VH-60 helicopter is highly personal for me. It literally hits close to home as I live approximately three miles away from National Airport.

Jimmy Carter, who died today, lived a life that reminds us what a leader can and should be. On the verge of Donald Trump retaking office it should be a profoundly important, timely reminder to us all.
