No more shoulder-shrugging when a machine programmed by a person commits a crime. That means the person, not the machine, has committed a crime.

Crush the arts (Kennedy Center), destroy the civil service (DOGE), control elections (gestures broadly), dismantle the press (gestures more broadly), decimate science (NIH), and demolish education (DeptEd). The authoritarian playbook.

Trump is a toxic waste dump of the worst of human character. His greed, corruption, ego, stupidity, arrogance, cruelty, prejudice, and active contempt for virtue, the law and people are manifest daily in ways that are destroying our institutions and our country. And he is getting worse daily.

Economists are noticing something very weird going on with BLS job creation: surprisingly positive numbers are announced, and then consistently corrected downwards sixty days later. This is too consistent to be a likely bona fide error.

Not a single word about how these tariffs violate both our WTO & USCMA obligations. Every time Trump does this, the NYT & other outlets simply write as if we live in an international vacuum, where the US has no obligations under signed, ratified international treaties. It's journalistic malpractice.
