Today I joined the No Kings rallies in Shelbyville, Lexington, and Frankfort and I couldn’t be more inspired by the energy and unity I saw. Across the country, Americans are coming together in peaceful, powerful ways to stand up for our democracy and fight for what’s right.

This is grossly dark. These are broken people.

But it's also so politically dumb.

How do they think Americans will react to being told that anyone who doesn't support Trump is a terrorist?

Before engineering the Trump administration's government shutdown response, Russ Vought spent years building Project 2025 strategy.

“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,” he said in 2023. “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work.”

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

This is illegal, plain and simple, with penalties including removal from federal service, debarment from federal employment for five years, and a fine of $1000. 5 U.S.C. § 7326.

A country which valued the rule of law would enforce its laws.

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.
