Flailing on multiple fronts, Trump is so desperate to demonstrate dominance that this afternoon... the official social media account of the White House posted a picture of Trump and King Charles, who is in the U.S. on a state visit, with the caption “TWO KINGS.” open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Trump’s DOJ EOIR is replacing experienced immigration judges they fired for not following their wishes with judges who have no immigration experience — the exact opposite of “highly qualified.” The politicization of immigration courts is outrageous and violates every notion of due process.

Breaking: The Trump-aligned FCC is planning to file paperwork as early as this afternoon that will challenge Disney's eight licenses for its eight ABC stations.

Mexico didn’t pay for the wall, Trump gold cards didn’t balance the budget, there are no $2,000 DOGE or tariff refund checks, and donors aren’t paying for the ballroom.

This is Tango. She wants you to know this isn't what it looks like. Doesn't know what else it could be yet, but she's working on that. 12/10 obviously innocent (IG: eyes_on_tango)

Republicans want an astonishing, debt-exploding $1.5 trillion military budget, more for ICE, billions to bail out failing airlines, and $400 million for Trump’s ballroom. They are looting the treasury and fleecing taxpayers to pay for Trump’s endless wars and vanity projects.

It’s depressing to me that “reading“ is now framed as a hobby instead of, you know, a default activity for leisure and edification practiced generally by a literate populace.

“If you don’t think $400M of TAXPAYER money is a good investment to create a secure facility at the White House…” -Lindsey Graham We warned you that the taxpayers were going to pay for his ballroom.

the quiet erosion of institutions that are supposed to stand independently, the reframing of dissent as disloyalty, the bending of rules so that they apply differently depending on who you are and how useful you are to the people in charge. open.substack.com/pub/defiance...

Trump is setting America back — not putting America First, as he promised. We will lose the future because of his reckless, harmful actions.

One thing to understand about the shadow docket is that it's a deliberate "fuck you" to literally everything and everyone who isn't in the majority of the Supreme Court. The rule of law, the American people, and especially to the lower courts whose work is summarily reversed without explanation.

The focus on last night’s event has obscured this upcoming week’s big story Rather than enabling Trump, Republicans could reassert the authority the Framers of the Constitution put in Congress’s hands and stop his deadly blundering. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Former FBI agent Dan Brunner: From what we saw, the suspect wasn’t even close to breaching security. He still would have had to go down two flights of stairs and get through additional secured doors. He didn’t even reach the magnetometers before being stopped.

The *intro* to the indictment against SPLC “speaks about millions of dollars….used to pay informants,” but when u get to the “actual charges, the amounts dwindle to…$13,905 [total]… No explanation has been given…4 the huge discrepancy between the introductory language…& what is actually charged.“ 1/

Shuster: “Last night, CNN, TMZ, CBS and others reported the dinner gunman was ‘confirmed dead.’ In fact, he was alive and had not been shot. (Just shot at). At a dinner honoring WH reporting, the rush to be first instead of being accurate was on full display. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

The Access of Evil

While working Americans pay more for groceries, gas, utilities, and health care, Trump will be busy dining with the ultra-wealthy buyers of his meme coin.

The USA has foolishly elected a dangerous, duplicitous conman as President. It will require a concerted, thoughtful effort by all good Americans to undo this malevolence and the time to begin this work is now. Failure is not an option.

NEWS: Janet Mills has VETOED a first-in-the-nation bill that would have paused large data center projects, blocking Maine from becoming the first state to enact a statewide moratorium on AI infrastructure.

The important macroeconomic question isn't: Have charges against Powell been dropped? It's this: Can the next Fed chair make an unpopular decision without fear of jail? The President has made no promises he won't jail the next guy, so no, the Fed isn't independent.

Trump sided with Hegseth over Phelan, who was his friend and neighbor and raised millions of dollars for him. Phelan’s firing shows that Trump still supports Hegseth despite his missteps and high-level firings as Hegseth seeks to remake the Pentagon. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

At least 17 people have already died in ICE custody this year—outpacing every other past Administration. ICE has a shameful & egregious record of violating people's rights, traumatizing children, & killing our neighbors.
