The Constitution conflicts with his power. We told you he wanted to be a dictator.

FRIGGIN' WILD: In email obtained by TPM, White House claims that the Appointments Clause of the US constitution conflicts with Trump's "inherent authority" ... EXCLUSIVE: Trump Makes Aggressive New Claim of Executive Power To Circumvent The Senate  talkingpointsmemo.com/news/exclusi...

Trump voters: “We want cheaper goods!” [They elect Trump. Prices go up] The Trump administration: “Americans never wanted cheaper goods.”

Shot/Chaser Yesterday @lincolnproject.us released the ad in the post below. Today Trump tries to distance himself from his handler. It is working, folks. Keep the pressure up!

Morgan Stanley econ research: "We take on board greater-than-expected intensity in trade policies and revise growth lower in 2025 and 2026. We now see higher inflation in 2025 with a more pronounced and sooner reacceleration in goods prices"

Is America great again yet?

So, the billionaire-appointed centimillionaire in charge of our Treasury wants all those “price of eggs” voters to know that it’s no big deal that everything is more expensive now because paying less for shit isn’t actually the “American Dream.” Is MAGA really that fucking dumb?

What accounts for phrasing like this? If any other president in modern times had signed an executive order libelling a DC law firm as an enemy of the state, the headlines would be about how he’s a fucking lunatic, the courts were sure to slap him down, and his cabinet was reacting with horror.

President Donald Trump targeted another elite law firm that has represented clients he considers his political enemies, sending a forceful message that he is willing to punish firms who work for people or groups that oppose his administration’s agenda.

DOGE Staffers Cash In While Slashing Jobs This is one of the least surprising things I’ve read all week. 📌 Musk’s gov’t efficiency crew is drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—from the very agencies they are cutting.

Russia’s ‘3-day war’ is now 3 YEARS old—and they’re getting wrecked. 800,000 casualties, no tanks, no fleet… and now Trump is cutting Ukraine’s aid to throw Putin a lifeline. Sad! Read how Ukraine is WINNING despite the betrayals adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-lif...

The man who issues threats daily and then immediately backs down from them has done it again. You better watch it, because next time he might really mean it.

DOGE’s federal property sell-off has accidentally revealed a CIA black site in Northern Virginia, according to Bloomberg.

Just a simple point on politics. The middle of these stories below means that every House Republican voted for Medicare and Medicaid cuts. Full stop. Crank up the ads.

Shameless.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Wu: If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our city safe.

Trump and musk plan to fire 83,000 from the department of veterans affairs. Remember all those times the GOP said we couldn’t care for refugees because we needed to take care of our veterans first? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Donald Trump is lying to you.

Cannot tell you how excited was for Suits LA. Ollie back again! But fuck me, what a train wreck. Pilot was OK but episode 2 was unwatchable. Deleted all future recordings. Whoever thought that so many, simultaneous, hard to understand storylines was a good idea needs to rethink their career.

A quick update on the US’s global standing, via tomorrow’s UK front pages:

Trump is using campus protest as a gateway to prohibit all protest in the long run. This is a long game to dismantle First Amendment protections. I hope that's obvious to everyone.

In 6 weeks Donald Trump has turned the United States into an authoritarian kleptocracy.

Co-president to deliver his own state of the union.

Lemme share something with you. A lot of semi-Trumpy types are saying Zelensky blew it. All he had to do was show up, shake hands, say Trump is great and sign the docs. He couldn't do that. But there are also people in DC who are not Trumpy who are saying the same thing. Now, big picture this ...

How bad have things gotten at town halls in red states, where Republican elected officials are being screamed at by their Trump-voting constituents over grocery prices, Elon Musk, and Ukraine? This bad.

Trudeau: "Every country is very aware that if the American government is willing to do this to their own closest ally, neighbor, and friend, everyone is vulnerable to a trade war."

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

Keep in mind as you see prices for basic goods spike this week that *Donald Trump promised to LOWER prices on day one*

Interesting that the index hasn’t been this high since the presidency was occupied by … {puts on glasses, zooms in on chart, checks calendar} … the same guy who’s there today

MAGA Republicans have decided to ignore their constituents

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

LOL now it's a "brief pause" to the spending of the agency he crowed about "putting through the wood chipper"

Swalwell: "Frankly, as somebody who has been to Ukraine during this war, it's maddening to see that we as a country who always fought the axis of evil are now joining Russia."

BASH: You voted to approve Marco Rubio's nomination to be secretary of state. Did you make the right choice? CHRIS MURPHY: Nope. It was a mistake. It was a mistake. I think a lot of us thought Marco Rubio was going to stand up to Trump on an issue like this.

So, wait, the plan is for Trump to crash the markets, destroy people's savings, push up prices with tariffs, crush economic growth, and then gut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security? While firing tens of thousands of federal workers? The concept of a plan is a depression?

Chris Murphy: "Everyone who signs up to work for Donald Trump is signing up for one single project, and that is the transition of American democracy to a kind of kleptocratic oligarchy in which the billionaires rule and get to steal from regular Americans."

Atlanta Fed now forecasts *NEGATIVE 2.8 GDP GROWTH* for this quarter

When I was in Congress we were constantly told to not call social security a “Ponzi scheme” unless we want to never win another election. Elon Musk just called social security a “Ponzi scheme.” But hasn’t touched his contracts with the govt yet

There it is. Literally saying the US and Russia are working together to take away the independence of another country. I'm wondering if any of our press is gonna pick this one up? Seems like headline material?

The very same Putin puppets blaming Ukraine for Russia’s invasion are now trying to gaslight Americans into believing Zelensky is the one who doesn’t want the war to end. Because of fucking course they are. Of fucking course they are.

Trump has long been a serial abuser and gaslighter, but even for him, claims that he couldn't solve the Russia-Ukraine War because of Zelenskyy, that Zelenskyy (unlike Putin) opposes peace, and that Ukraine opposes peace because the US supports it so _ardently_—when Trump has abandoned it—are vile.

The world has turned upside down. The US and Russia are now allies against Ukraine, NATO, and the West. It is the biggest geopolitical shift since the end of the Cold War...maybe bigger. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/why-this-wee...

Zelenskyy: "It's not just that the war began somewhere between our countries. The war began when Russia brought this war to our country. They're not right. They didn't respect our territorial integrity. They brought the war to our families. Ukrainians want to hear a position of the US on our side"
