This is what happens when you make a twelve year old boy the President of the United States. He wants to do really, really, really cool stuff - like explosions and special ops kidnappings!

Wow! Big day for President DJT! Kilmar Abrego Garcia was freed. A second grand jury refused to indict Letitia James. Indiana Republicans declined to gerrymander as Trump commanded. This is my kind of news cycle. I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and read trump’s after-midnight social media posts.

This is from the NYT coverage of the Israel-Hamas hostage deal, but it slides in something that drives me nuts. WHAT CAMPAIGN TO RESTORE ORDER? There isn’t disorder! It’s a campaign to terrify Americans!

I’m in the middle of reading this terrific book. It mesmerizingly portrays the unfolding of a complex relationship between spouses made into literal strangers by war injury induced amnesia. bsky.app/profile/newv...

Trump will want to have our military, of which he is commander in chief, take over law enforcement of all large cities. (Well, there may be exceptions for Dallas and Salt Lake City.) His goal is direct personal rule of the United States.

The President of the United States has declared war on the opposition party, saying this about his directive to ICE to redouble its efforts in LA, NYC, and Chicago: “These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center.” He couldn’t be clearer about his drive towards autocracy.

Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, said "Do not doubt and do not second guess and don’t ever challenge the president of the United States." He said that in the context of the delightful Trump-Musk insult exchange, but it speaks volumes about Republican backbone.

You are up to date.
