This isn’t about policy, it’s about projection. He’s manufacturing blame for the shutdown he demanded, hoping people forget his collapsing economy, plummeting polls, and the shadow of the Epstein files.
The louder the deflection, the closer the truth.

Not haste, but grace, is how they move,
reminding hearts what time can prove.
My first tortoise—gentle, grand,
a living lesson beneath my hand.

Trump struts with a boast and a grin,
Convinced every handshake’s a win.
But beside Putin’s guile,
He looks meek all the while,

With arrow hats and wild-eyed cheer,
You’ve made us laugh year after year.
From banjo tunes to silver screens,
You’ve danced through all our comic scenes.
A novelist, a juggler too,
No art or laugh’s beyond your view.
So here’s to you, still sharp and spry,
Our wild and crazy birthday guy.

If Grassley kills the “blue slip,” he’s not just breaking a custom, he’s erasing one of the last guardrails that forces even a sliver of bipartisan input on lifetime judges. Trump wants a shortcut to pack the courts with loyalists, not fair arbiters.
That’s not reform. It’s capture.

A powerful poetic protest by Jaci Turner — where silence speaks volumes and justice finds its voice in the margins.
