Most of what we do, we give away totally free. That’s because we believe that you can’t save democracy from behind a paywall. But if you support this mission, if you want to ride with us here at The Bulwark, now is the time to do it.

On issue after issue, the Trump administration's conduct has been so hamfisted, heavy-handed, and hubristic that it has already rattled millions of voters back to their senses. There is no "mandate." Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

Trump’s no good, very bad polling weekend.

Donald Trump swaggered into office 100 days ago claiming a sweeping popular mandate. Maybe if he hadn't so thoroughly convinced himself that was true he wouldn't already have done so much to blow up his own brand. www.thebulwark.com/p/a-100-day-...

The numbers are pretty striking. And what’s also striking is that support for Trump’s performance on a wide range of issues has declined across the board. Polls matter. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social plus Will Selber and @samsteindc.bsky.social:

What kind of society do we want to be, actually? Do we take this little pride in doing something properly for ourselves? Do we care this little about getting things right? Using AI, in its current state, to write questions for the California Bar Exam? Are we not ashamed?

The right complains, with some justification, about bias at major media outlets. But the alternatives it has created are often even worse. What a joke.

Periodic reminder that this couple is a pair of maladjusted psychos whose insular worldview is in large part a direct function of their own tragically horrible childhoods and the fact that they have become the U.S. mascots for the concept "people should have more babies" is insane

NEW. @eggerdc.bsky.social and I on Trump’s new pro-Putin "Peace" plan for Ukraine. We discuss why our abandonment of Ukraine is shameful, but also how it may be resisted by European friends of Ukraine and (just possibly) by some Republicans in Congress. youtu.be/vCpWJepdjCI?...

Trump walks back his China tariffs and his threat to fire Jerome Powell, and Musk steps back from DOGE. What we're seeing isn't circumspection, but polity gravity forcing Trump's hand. Good. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

Maybe Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a bad guy—from MS-13 to those domestic violence accusations. But all that is completely irrelevant to his moral and legal case. As @eggerdc.bsky.social wrote, "either he gets the due process the law demands, or none of us can be assured we would get it."

He keeps saying this; I'm no a snob about what "normal people" don't know but I do wonder if his target audience knows that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid did not exist before income taxes and wouldn't have been possible.

Bukele has already returned migrants to the U.S. because they were from Central America or they were women—migrants the Trump admin had unilaterally declared as “criminals.” This is all a joke to them. It’s truly sick.

We're in The Bad Place, folks. The existence of an overseas gulag to which you - yes, you personally - can be sent with no recourse marks the end of a whole period of American history. There's no going back after this. Even if these guys are defeated, the new order will have to look much different.

We “just wrote it up,” Trump said of his tariff reprieve. “We didn’t have access to lawyers . . . It was written from the heart.” Unfortunately, Trump's heart is a fickle thing, and businesses can't know what to expect from it next. www.thebulwark.com/p/art-of-the...
