How long before major media outlets covering the Trump White House simply admit that the president is an ignoramus, surrounded by stooges inventing explanations for his crazy decisions.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/n...? Trump is using Jews as the point of his spear in attacking higher education. Being used by an authoritarian is definitely not good for the Jews.

Voting for Judge Susan Crawford TODAY means you’ll both help elect a fair, common-sense justice to the Court AND defeat Musk’s eight-figure investment in Brad Schimel AND avoid lines on April 1. Early in-person voting is open! Find your polling place: wisdems.org/vote

Corruption. In five parts. – Musk spends $290M to elect Trump and other Republicans – Trump gives Musk control of the executive branch – Musk dismantles the agencies that regulate his companies – Trump does a commercial for a struggling Musk company – Musk donates another $100M to Trump

I fear this shall not pass. Trump and his cohort have set about destroying our constitutional republic. The 2026 midterms are the chance to impede this evil. If Republicans maintain control after 2026 we may be well I. Our way to well institutionalized oligarchy.
