American media needs to demand an answer from Trump on what he meant when he said there won’t be any blue states in 2026. Manipulating vote tabulation? Imprisoning political opponents? Both? Who seriously believes he won’t do whatever it takes to stay in power for as long as possible?

And who determines what the executive’s legitimate power is, JD? The executive?! Come on. Let me put it in terms you’d get. It’s like football. The judges are the refs, and they say whether you’re in or out of bounds. And Musk is waaaaaay out of bounds with these takeovers of our systems.

I continue seeing local news stories about school staff and teachers scrambling to educate students of immigrant populations on their rights and how to keep them safe. They should be focusing on teaching all students. It’s truly tragic what the current administration is putting our schools through.
