Fascinating that the cause of collapse of both major parties has not just been basically identical (cost of living and service failings creating unpopularity, chasing radical right tail on immigration fuelling in-bloc schism), but that doubling down has persisted long after failure became clear.

Bottom line: if Trump didn’t personally authorize or control the autopen, it’s possible the pardons could be legally challenged, and that’s a huge deal, like we heard them argue about Biden.
Instead the documents were ‘quietly replaced.’

📌If you told me 40 years ago, that Republicans were going to be citing the cost of a Thanksgiving dinner from Walmart as a quality-of-life enhancer, I would have thrown up in my mouth a little, and told you the future for working Americans was going to be desperate and bleak.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

Everyone in the Republican Party is a world class troll.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

“Care in the community” was the cover line as beds were cut, but as one wise Consultant observed, the community doesn’t care.

Is it much of a stretch for one’s imagination to consider that a president, who would physically endanger a loyal member of his own party, wouldn’t absolutely do anything to prevent the American people seeing the Epstein files?

Important to remember: If the worst of the Epstein stuff had already been released, there would be no reason for Trump to keep fighting it. If he’s trying to stop it, there’s a reason why.
