Thinking about this line from The West Wing:
TOBY: “There's an old expression: 'Quando dio, ole castigarci ci manda, quello che desideriamo.' When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.”
Vance being in charge won’t instantly fix everything everyone. He will probably make it worse.

I'm always amazed at how often St. Louis cannot get out of their own way.
The state's transportation said $20 million in federal funding for local projects will be reprogrammed to state projects due to counties and cities in the region moving too slowly.

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from:
-Sinking poll numbers
-A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill
-Harmful trade wars
-Unleashing the military on American soil
-Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism

Our country is in great hands
Trump has sat for only 12 ‘daily’ intelligence briefings since taking office
The scarcity of the President’s Daily Briefings comes as he pursues high-stakes diplomacy with America’s friends and foes.

Not a lot of Cardinals fans talking about how the Cardinals were fleeced in the Arozarena/Liberatore trade lately. Maybe it was the right move after all.

Just when you think it can’t it worse, it does. And it’ll continue to get worse.
Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.
He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
