On an hourly basis he says something nonsensical, proposes something illegal, or denies the existence of reality in some way. His cognitive decline is obvious and his sociopathy is undeniable. So, where are the thousands of op-eds and blaring chyrons asks @athenae.bsky.social in her column.

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers. In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them. So you can see how clear it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

Interesting piece which reveals a lot of the tech bro ignorance of government: DOGEr comes in, expects to find lots of inefficiency, is at least willing to acknowledge he was wrong unlike the hard core ideologues.

None of these “deportations” should be happening. And these aren’t even deportations; they're a violent form of exile. People are being snatched and sent to places rife with violence, torture and sexual abuse. The United States is building a series of concentration camps and gulags overseas.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

For decades, U.S foreign policy was centered around the fear of war with Russia, and figuring out how to constrain its influence. Republicans consistently were at the vanguard of Russophobia. And then massive political shift emerged, in part driven by one wannabe American strongman.
