How’s this prediction going so far?

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

UPDATE: We’re t-minus 30 minutes to midnight and the DOGE team has yet to bring the receipts.

Dan Crenshaw: "There is absolutely no way that Donald Trump will be seen -- he will not let himself go down in history as having sold out to Putin. He will not let that happen." (Bookmark this one.)

My office is hearing reports that the Trump administration’s purges include firing veterans who have served our country for years. Our veterans deserve better. If you've been impacted, call congress: (202) 224-3121 And share your story: www.veterans.senate.gov/contact-rank...

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what we’re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Said every tyrant and dictator in human history to justify his actions.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

NEW: The latest at the FBI: Emil Bove told Drizz to forward an email in which Bove accuses Driscoll of insubordination for refusing to hand over the names of J6 agents, and blames Driscoll for the review now underway. Driscoll forwards the message and urges his colleagues to stay safe.

The thing about presidential immunity is that it applies to the *president,* not his minions.

I can't believe these greedy hedge funds are betting against trump and America. Now how does someone get in on this? -Asking for a friend. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

My statement condemning President Donald Trump’s unconstitutional impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress.

“Forget the myths the media's created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.”

BRENNAN: You campaigned on lowering prices. Which executive order lowers prices? VANCE: We have done a lot. BRENNAN: So grocery prices aren't going to come down? VANCE: No Margaret, prices are gonna come down. But it's gonna take a little bit of time.

Just how weak are the Trump Justice Department's arguments before courts on #birthrightcitizenship? This weak⬇️ A quick catering and major concession in oral argument before Judge Coughenour: (via NYT @mikebaker.bsky.social thread: bsky.app/profile/mike...)

I voted for Donald Trump because I KNEW he would address the issues that most impact my life. I’m talking, of course, about militarily overtaking the largely inhospitable Danish territory of Greenland, renaming the Gulf of Mexico and outlawing windmills. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

www.wsj.com/opinion/four... I think Gerard Baker might need some therapy. Nobody is forcing any of these crazy views on you. And your analogy to "The Emperor's New Clothes" is wholly laughable. There is only one person who would fall for that. And I'll give you 3 guesses (1st 2 don't count)!!

Honestly hilarious that so many Republican politicians are freaking out about Trump's Cabinet picks. Who did they think he was going to select? People who are qualified?
