Let's be clear: Trump is thinking of entering a war against Iran without Congressional authorization or legal basis because his birthday parade was a dud and he thinks the war will produce arousing pictures for him to look at on Fox News.

it's all great replacement conspiracy theories and election denialism. he's attacking cities and immigrants because he thinks that anyone who votes against him is unamerican and deserves to be deported.

For those of us who’ve spend the last 6 months discussing how the Trump would use deportations to create chaos is the Blue states and then use that chaos as an excuse to declare a national emergency and seize total power, things are right on schedule.

House GOP leadership has apparently decided to give Texas $12 billion dollars, in a transparent plan to reimburse Greg Abbott for Operation Lone Star, the Texas border wall, and the migrant buses, as a way of winning over holdouts on reconciliation.

SEC. 60004. STATE BORDER SECURITY REIMBURSEMENT.

(a) IN GENERAL.—In addition to amounts otherwise available, there is appropriated to the Secretary of Home-17 land Security, for fiscal year 2025, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise
appropriated, $12,000,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2029, to carry out this section.

(b) USE OF FUNDS.—The Secretary of Homeland Security shall use amounts made available under subsection (a) to make grants to States for costs associated with actions taken on or after January 21, 2021, to assist the Federal border security missions to enforce the immigra-6 tion laws, including through detention and removal, and to combat the unlawful entry of persons and contraband.

(e) APPLICATION.—The Secretary of Homeland Security shall develop a process for States to submit a grant application, together with satisfactory evidence of costs incurred, to seek reimbursement for any expenses described in subsection (b).

(d) PROHIBITION.—The Secretary of Homeland Security may not make a grant for reimbursement under this section to a State if such State has received such reimbursement under any other grant program of the Department of Homeland Security.

This gets the story wrong on a fundamental level because it assumes DOGE was about what Musk claimed. DOGE was about stealing data, getting Musk contracts, shutting down investigations and regulations of Musk’s companies, and terrorizing federal workers. On that front, it succeeded.

Trump’s Tariffs would be held illegal if the Constitution’s separation of powers were taken seriously. Hell, they’d be struck down by Trump’s Supreme Court if its Major Questions Doctrine and its commitments to original meaning and textualism were consistently applied to Article I and IEEPA. 🔥

If you haven't figured it out, Trump is seeking an arctic partnership with Russia, in order for Russia to declare total control of the region and its resources, Canada, Greenland, and Nordic Europe (all in NATO) need to be taken out. Trump's invasion threats make more sense if you piece it together.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

There’s a false narrative out there that as president, Trump can do whatever he wants with the executive branch. False! Congress has passed laws creating agencies, appropriating funds, and crafting procedures. Constitution requires President to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”
