W/o getting drawn into the "seriously or literally" / "it'll never happen" trap, we need to stomp *hard* on the continuing effort to undermine Article 1 power of the purse by saying that this or that revenue stream makes something outside the normal budget process. 1/ www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

As Judge Todd Edelman hints that he'll seek more information in the Davey Hearn case, Politico reveals that Doug Burgum is "terrified of written records." [The entire story is damning, but I'm particularly interested in the focus on SCIFs.] www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
And officials at Interior decry what they view as a culture of secrecy. Burgum asked colleagues early on about trying to add a sensitive compartmented information facility, or SCIF, on the department’s sixth floor even though one exists just three floors below, according to a person who heard the comment. According to three staffers who witnessed it, officials have routinely shredded official documents and use disappearing Signal messages — even for mundane scheduling matters — to avoid communications being preserved, as is required by the Federal Records Act.

“They’re terrified of written records,” said one former official.

Remember Trump's disastrous Great American State Fair? He's now asking Congress for an additional $10M to reimburse costs for his July 4th "Freedom 250" flop. That's on top of the $100M+ in taxpayer funds that's already been funneled into his MAGA party planning committee.

This is great news, but let's not forget the Prairieland political prisoners, sentenced to 30 to 50 years in a federal gulag for protesting, being in a book club, and making zines. All it takes is a clueless jury and a fascist judge like Reed O'Connor. There's no justice until all are freed.
