Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.

I’m not a fan of McDonald’s as a rule— but this franchise owner knows what’s up, and I’m definitely not going to criticize them for this one thing. The reason people act the way they act is because they’re used to not facing consequences for it, and it’s nice to see someplace where that isn’t so. 😁

NEW from me. My latest piece in The Atlantic does a deep budget dive to determine how much money DOGE is truly saving. Remember that Elon Musk initially promised $2 trillion, then $1 trillion, and now $150 billion.
It has been closer to a few billion per month.🧵

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.
