worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

"Republicans are weird" remains a devastating, indisputably-true statement, and everyone who isn't part of MAGA should say it all the time. It works in every situation, even outside "culture war" stuff. Sure, there are strong merits to USAID, FEMA, CFPB—but also, destroying them is weird.
