This morning, Trump posted AI fan fiction of Chicago as a "war zone," adopting the chilling language of authoritarianism. He openly admits sending the National Guard is for ICE deportations, not to combat crime, effectively declaring war on an American city. This is not normal.

Due to the ongoing U.S. measles outbreak, a Texas man worried that his young son was at risk and took him to get vaccinated.

The cost of the shot? $1,400.

Trump is clearly not interested in doing the job he was elected to do - President of the United States, a democracy, with a Constitution, rule of law.

He imagines himself in some other job - lawless Mad King - that doesn’t exist.

If he doesn’t want the job he was elected to do he should resign.
