Mark Z. Danielewski's novel, TOM'S CROSSING, is published today. Set in the Utah mountains, it's a chase story...and as close to the Great American Novel as you're ever going to get.

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.
Mike Johnson: "Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying, 'Republicans are in charge of government.' We aren't!"

Scott Bessent is the best of the Trump Cabinet. And he is an idiot and an utter embarrassment
Scott Bessent, Billionaire Boy Genius, wants everyone to know that Ontario only ran that Reagan ad in a dastardly effort to “sway public opinion” in America.
And he sounds like he’s about to cry as he shares this dirty secret.

Defiant anti deportation activists remain. Another protest is planned for 7pm.

So many people have Trump wrong. What he wants is not Yeltsin's Russia, Orban's Hungary or Hitler's Germany. I've studied him for a decade and can tell you that if his dreams come true, America will most resemble the Hermit Kingdom—North Korea—with Trump as Kim Jong-un and the rest of us in poverty.
