Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

A Democrat should file a bill on Monday for everyone to get $5,000 checks right now to see if Mike Johnson, John Thune and congressional Republicans will advance and pass it. Call their bluff. Pass the bill.

THE ODYSSEY's instantly, predictably enormous success is Exhibit #32176 that the right wing's grievance-farming operation is not some great American cultural shift. Most people don't give a shit about their petty crusades.

The conventional wisdom says a weakened president is a contained president. The conventional wisdom is wrong. Donald Trump is going to lose the midterms. And when he does, the rest of the world is going to pay for it. 🧵 open.substack.com/pub/defiance...?

Trump has never been mentally, physically or morally fit to be president. Falling asleep at meetings is the least of our worries. It's what he does when he's awake that should scare the hell out of everyone.

The Senate unanimously passed a bill to fund TSA. It was handed over to the House. Speaker Mike Johnson refused to bring it to the House floor. Now they're going on a two week vacation while TSA agents financially suffer without beig paid for the 5th week in a row.

Trump’s power and by extension his entire movement are built around the idea that by asserting something you manifest it in reality. Even if it’s not true many people will behave as if is so you can get away with it. It is alarmingly effective in law, domestic politics. It cannot unblock a strait.
