As long as he's renaming everything in sight, how about adding "Trump, Donald John" to all of these D.C. public toilets?

Two small blue-and-white buildings that house public toilets stand slightly apart on a Washington, D.C. street. Each building bears the words, "throne, your clean bathroom" next to the door.

This is not an effective diet plan.

Nine email messages purportedly from Trump, eight with the subject heading "Friend, I'm canceling this" followed by "I canceled my lunch break because I need to tell yo..."
The ninth bears the subject heading "I'm drinking a Trump diet soda!" and leads into 'And all I could think about was...YOU!"

My new Trump passport isn't as bad as I had expected it to be.

The proposed passport redesign has, on the left, a drawing of Trump's scowling face superimposed on the Declaration of Independence, and below his face is his Donald J. Trump signature. A block of jail bars hovers over the face and signature. On the right is a picture taken from a painting of the founding fathers.

What do these comparisons mean? What units of measurement? What is the scale? Or is this just the golf ball version of "This one goes to eleven"?

Three bright yellow golf balls rest in an open box on the left of the picture. Abutting that box is the lid, which has a graphic comparing two different models of the company's golf balls. Each comparison is a bar graph, one kind of ball represented by a beige bar and the other by a dark gray bar. The graphs are labeled "ball speed," "distance," "launch," "flight," "wedge spin," and "compression." The pairs of beige and gray bars vary slightly in length from each other, but none identifies the units of measurement, the scale of the graphs, the origin point of the represented bar graph.

Every law library has a legal Ouija board with which anyone can divine irrefutable, unexpressed, and unvetted legal arguments. I fully expect a Legal Ouija Board app that can be used on an iPhone any day, and Tim Cook will send the profits from selling it to Trump.

A post from Donald J. Trump reads: The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple -- They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired. I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future. There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not! Also, the People of our Country are insisting upon Citizenship, and No Mail-In Ballots, with exceptions for Military, Disability, Illness, or Travel. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.

I saw Trump's little AI-generated King-Trump-dumping-feces video and regretted that Sigmund Freud is unavailable when we need him.

From the APA dictionary of psychology: anal-expulsive phase
Updated on 04/19/2018
in the classical psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud, a phase of the anal stage in which pleasure is obtained by expelling feces and the sadistic instinct is linked to destruction of the object. According to the theory, fixation at this phase results in an adult anal personality. See also anal-sadistic phase. Compare anal-retentive phase.

You know who shouldn't sign non-disclosure agreements with private entities? Public officials, who are supposed to act in the public interest. insideclimatenews.org/news/2507202...

The picture is a screen capture of text from the article. It reads:
So far, officials in the city of 25,000 have shown little interest in publicly digging into the details of what could be one of the largest development projects in state history—one that would require the clearcutting of more than 100 acres of land, threaten endangered species and lead to large increases in water and electricity usage.

Instead, public officials, many bound by non-disclosure agreements with the developer, have relied on the assertions of the company proposing the project—a company that has so far refused to answer media questions about the impact of their plans on the community and the environment.

The U.S. Court of International Trade could only have sweetened this decision, stating that Trump has overreached the limits of his powers in imposing retaliatory tariffs, by issuing the opinion on TACO* Tuesday. *Trump Always Chickens Out Opinion here: www.cit.uscourts.gov/sites/cit/fi...

From the opinion:
"Per Curiam: The Constitution assigns Congress the exclusive powers to “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises,” and to “regulate Commerce with foreign Nations.” U.S. Const. art. I, § 8, cls. 1, 3. The question in the two cases before the court is whether the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (“IEEPA”) delegates these powers to the
President in the form of authority to impose unlimited tariffs on goods from nearly every country Court Nos. 25-00066 & 25-00077
in the world. The court does not read IEEPA to confer such unbounded authority and sets aside the challenged tariffs imposed thereunder. "

Net savings are illusory, especially if the added costs of untreated medical care (which often ends up costing more from emergency treatment or advanced disease) are added to the equation. This aspect, from numbered section 4 of the KFF piece, is almost never mentioned:

"For states, implementing work requirements involves complex systems changes (e.g., developing or adapting eligibility and enrollment systems), enrollee outreach and education, and staff training. GAO examined selected states’ estimates of the administrative costs to implement work requirements and found costs varied from under $10 million to over $270 million. States estimated that federal funds would cover most of these costs, largely due to higher matching rates of 75% and 90% percent of applicable IT costs. GAO found CMS did not consider administrative costs when approving Medicaid work requirement demonstrations. According to data obtained by KFF Health News, Georgia’s “Pathways” program cost the state and federal government more than $40 million (through June 2024), with nearly 80% of costs spent on program administration and consulting fees (vs. paying for health care)."
