The Post is so notoriously pro-Trump that this is surprising. True, of course—though they didn’t hear it from John Barron.

Hope the youngin’s realize the “Brennan” here was liberal SCOTUS judge known for, among others, NYT v Sullivan, requiring “actual malice” in defamation suits involving public officials and powerful people. Much investigative journalism would not take place today w/out this decision.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

DOGE is not about waste and fraud. This is about gutting government services without any evaluation of their need. Americans have decided to have and fund an effective National Park Service. Trump and Musk are trampling on democracy to do whatever the hell they want.

This is despicable and cruelty IS the point. OTOH, I noticed they made a point of saying the contract is terminated not for performance. Weird how they said the opposite for people fired this past 10 days. apple.news/AwGzJnhCzQ2a...

His State of the State speech was just so good. I watched this part of it yesterday. He also has a sense of humor, which Trump lacks.

DOGE incompetence IS the point. Part of what all these changes being made by Trump in his EO’s & by DOGE is to fuck everything up so badly that when they break the government, it will be that much harder to fix it. It is all nihilism with these people, like they are crashing toy cars. #DOGE #Musk

A new Missouri bill would create a registry of pregnant women "at risk for seeking an abortion." If that wasn’t bad enough, the bill would also give people interested in adopting access to this registry of pregnant women. More in the newsletter: jessica.substack.com/p/missouri-b...

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Does this track logically, or just greedily? “You go to Canada and all of the drugs are much less expensive,” Trump said in an interview. He added he was probably going to put tariffs on pharmaceuticals.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.
