This from The New Yorker. One can only hope that Trump can cease the general destruction long enough to listen.

Pete Hegseth demands servicemembers meet waist-to-height requirements and exhibit “impeccable” grooming standards. I think we are only days from Pete pulling a Madeleine Kahn, as Empress Nympho, inspecting bare-assed troops and swooning when they bounce up and down doing a “quick-time harch.”

Considering the coming USPS debacle, this would be a good time to enroll in the USPS Informed Delivery, if it's available in your area. They'll email you photos of every piece of mail that went through the system that day. If you're missing a piece, call you local post office IMMEDIATELY.

Carville is on television right now, talking about how much of what Trump is doing with his nominations is just driven by resentment and if you don’t get that, you’re missing the core issue here. Yep.

The SCOTUS extremists are products of, and establishers of, a school of thought that has become conventional wisdom on the right: that guardrails against racism are racist. This will have a lasting effect, just as the Dunning school of Reconstruction history hampered any revival of civil rights.
