1. She's president's human binky & controls his social media 2. Foreign govts use her a conduit for Trump 3. She's lied about much of her background 4. She wouldn't or couldn't get security clearance (see 3) 5. She has an obsession w/ Trump giving their relationship a vaguely inappropriate dynamic

In 2019, Trump was forced to cancel plans to hold the G7 at his own golf club amid GOP objections to self dealing. In 2026, he will hold the G20 at his own golf club and the critics have gone silent. How Trump has moved the ethical line in his second term. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/u...

How Trump Moved Ethical Lines With His Ads, Businesses and Summits
The president’s decision to hold an international summit at his own private golf club, an idea rejected in his first term, illustrates how much he has shattered norms.

I continue to warn against complacence. It’s still vitally important that we vote and remain vigilant against Trump’s interference in our elections. But with a little more than four weeks to go before the midterms, I’m breathing a wee bit easier. Here's why...

When Trump took over, Rufo personally led the campaign to get a hundred trans intelligence fired. Was this about merit? No. Rufo has been very clear. We protect our people, we denigrate and punish the others. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-era-of...

LOSS: A court dismissed a lawsuit challenging Tennessee’s new gerrymander that dismantled the state’s lone majority-Black district. The court said it must presume the legislature acted in good faith when assessing discriminatory intent — a standard that makes proving discrimination near impossible.

Part of the post-Trump repairs to democracy must be inspectors general. What if we house them in the legislative branch, where a president cannot fire them? Courts could serve as a check.

IN BOLD— Rep. Beatty wants the judge to issue another Kennedy Center order that Trump DOJ can't pretend to misunderstand, "making clear that either the wholesale demolition of the building or demolition that would make public access impossible would violate the Court’s existing order."
Defendants’ failure to follow the orderly process of seeking to modify or dissolve the preliminary injunction—or even to seek an emergency or temporary modification—adds to the
well-established pattern of officials in this Administration moving faster and one step ahead of the
courts in an effort to evade the constraints imposed by judicial orders and frustrate meaningful judicial review. Plaintiff implores the Court not to stand by while Defendants repeat that pattern here. To that end, at a minimum, Plaintiff requests the Court enter an order making clear that either the wholesale demolition of the building or demolition that would make public access impossible would violate the Court’s existing order
