The gig is up in the very first sentence of the Supreme Court's per curiam opinion on the Trump ballroom (emphasis added): "In October 2025, the *federal government* started a project to replace the East Wing of the White House." They've collapsed the legislative branch into the unitary executive.

I was going to write this morning on the damage Trump and Hegseth have done to the American military, but went in another direction. But Paul Krugman does an excellent job here. And as he would be the first to say, there is even more evidence that could be cited. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Keep telling the truth. Thank you to Stephen Colbert and everyone at The Late Show.
Text card:
Getting rid of Stephen Colbert is a sign of weakness, not of strength.
Why be afraid of the truth? Why be afraid of comedians?
Keep telling the truth.

For his entire life, every word out of his mouth has been a lie. And the media stopped caring a long time ago that he lies as he breathes. Hopefully one day soon the American people will say they’re tired of being lied to every single day.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.

Let me get this straight: Democrats had a plan to fund most of DHS (without giving ICE more money) this whole time. But Republicans blocked it because Trump told them to. Then, after weeks of chaos at the airports and TSA workers missing paychecks, Trump and Republicans caved. The Art of the Deal.

3. The unfairness of Senate representation relative to state populations resulted in the failure of 2 impeachments, either of which should have ended Trump's time in office.

I will not vote for another dime for Trump's war. This war is making us less safe. It's taken 13 American lives. Killed thousands of civilians. And is costing billions in taxpayer dollars. The best way to protect our troops, save lives, & end this war is to cut off funding.

Renee Good’s last words were to ICE agent Jonathan Ross: “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Then Ross shot Renee three times in the face. As she was dying, his last words to her were: “Fucking bitch.” And JD Vance thought that exchange exonerated ICE. That says it all.
