New York Mets prospect Brandon Sproat’s t-shirt caught my eye this morning. Is he using Mets colors to equate the Trump election with a religious victory? Or is he simply noting that some unnamed baseball player named Jesus won something? I think I know the answer.

I think journalists, policymakers and good govt types are struggling to understand DOGE because their mental model is that it is a government reform commission, operating like previous ones. Maybe. But it might be better to start thinking about it as a hostile takeover of the govt by oligarchs.

The big story today is the Matt Gaetz report.
The bigger story should be the incoming President, despite knowing what Gaetz is, because everyone in Congress knew, still wanted to make him the Attorney General of the United States.
Never normalize his madness, his corruption. Even for a single day.

So how about the Dems start behaving like an opposition party, and figure out who can lead us out of this nightmare and give whoever it is a platform so we aren’t trying to figure it out when it is too late.
