The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.
Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

A massive attack on several humanities units (Arabic Studies, Judaic Studies, Holocaust Studies, Classics, Religion, German & Scandinavian, Russian/East European/Eurasian Studies) *and* tenure now unfolding at the University of Oregon (a blue state!). Closure of units and faculty layoffs threatened.

Why is Donald Trump protecting left-wing politicians and left-wing billionaires who associated with Jeffrey Epstein from justice?
Why is he hiding that from the American people? What else must be in the Epstein files that he so badly wants to hide that he's protecting political opponents to do it?

JD Vance: "We know that Jeffrey Epstein had a lot connections with left-wing politicians and left-wing billionaires ... Democrat billionaires and Democrat political leaders went to Epstein island all the time. Who knows what they did."

I'm so tired of hearing that we need to "teach our students how to use AI" when the thing they most need to use it is a critical-thinking skill set that can only be acquired by NOT using it. I'm tired of hearing that it's inevitable. I'm tired.

Any CEO who looked at Trump in 2024 and thought he’d govern more like Ronald Reagan than Hugo Chavez is too stupid to run anything larger than a lemonade stand
Trump is privately warning CEOs of automakers not to hike prices when his tariffs hit. This blows up Trump's lies about the tariffs, because it shows he knows they'll push up costs in the US, and knows "other countries" don't pay them!

Trump Accidentally Wrecks His Own Tariff Spin in Leaked Call Stunner
In a call with auto CEOs, the president warned them against raising prices. Isn’t that an admission that his argument for tariffs is bogus?
