Fun one from today that nobody seems to be clocking amidst all the more substantive chaos. The White House comms department is now declaring that Trump can now "sign [an] executive order into law" without a bill passing Congress. Have never seen this language from a prior White House.

Gonna make this an ongoing thread for cataloguing purposes. Roughly here, the three factions would fall into White Supremacists, Thiel Boys, and Wildcat Oil Christianity in the OMB (Vought is a Wheaton kid)
There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

It seems like the trick to negotiating with Trump is to realize he doesn’t have any idea what the current facts are.
"Oh you want 10,000 troops?" says world leader who already deployed 15K. "Great 10k it is"

“does Elon Musk personally think you should get paid” is, apparently, how the entire federal budget works now

we don’t really have a government anymore, the coup worked and the media is so broken that they can’t even tell us it’s happened
Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down

Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?

kinda funny that all it took to defeat traffic in the most crowded city in the country was only a simple $9 congestion relief zone

The California Academy of Sciences this year abruptly ended a climate action youth program after its teenage members expressed solidarity w/the museum's union.

Cal Academy fired their staff coordinator, & told the teens to stop coming in.
