The Rules of Grief
The post-Kirk purge was never about decency. Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder proves it.

Trainwreck? In October 2024, The Economist called Biden's economy "the envy of the world."
BARTIROMO: What are you expecting the president's economic message to be?
SEN. McCORMICK: I think the message is that we inherited a trainwreck from the Biden administration and we made a lot of progress

No; it means you must undertake scientific investigation that disproves the facts with which you disagree. Your criticism is not enough.

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

It's odd that Republicans can do the mental gymnastics to link Tylenol to autism, but not link gun deaths to guns.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

This is a firing offense. Bill Pulte must go.
The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters.
Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence.
These docs show she did not.

This afternoon, in addition to Charlie Kirk, there was a school shooting. Bullets don't know and don't care if you are a Republican or Democrat. It is time for Republicans and Democrats to find a way to work together to reduce gun violence.

REPORTER: Have you spoke to Vladimir Putin about the fact that a big US factory was hit in an airstrike in Ukraine?
TRUMP: I'm not happy about anything having to do with that war. I settled 7 wars, and actually if you think about pre-wars, add 3 more so it would be 10.

I have sympathy for media outlets discussing complicated legal issues, but it is outright false for @nytimes.com to describe birthright citizenship as a "custom."
It is the law. It is the text of the Constitution. Are the Bill of Rights a "custom" too? What about the Presidency itself?

TBF this article does not entirely gloss over Musk's record in govt, but the idea that Musk was focused on reducing the deficit is contradicted by his kneecapping of IRS, which will increase the deficit by hundreds of billions. He was not some well-meaning naif who got chewed up by a corrupt DC

The Trump Presidency has shown the unitary executive theory to be crackpot, dangerous, and counter to what our founding fathers wanted, but the Roberts court is leaning in because they think they can outlast Trump and have a more reasonable GOP
