I kind of wonder if Trumpâs random demand to renew nuclear testing was just him getting confused about the option of the senate using a nuclear option on the filibuster?

The whimsy and weirdness in these protests is just damned delightful. It dispels the gloom of this terrible moment and laughs in the face of lies about America-hating terroristsâ organizing the demonstrations. Now vote.

The SC allowing Trump to refuse to spend Congressionally appropriated funds makes budget negotiations impossible. This is breakdown of constitutional order stuff. There is no political way out of the shutdown if Trump can violate any agreement. And he has said he will.

Democrats "blocked" this bill by ... not voting for it. No dirty tricks or sneaky moves, they just didn't vote for a GOP bill. It needed 60 votes to pass, 53 Reps and 2 Dems voted for it. That, according to the broken Washington Post, means Democrats Are To Blame even though the GOP runs it all.

At no point did Hodges say this was what was occurring or even mention current events. Hegseth and others who started yelling âthis is differentâ assumed he was making a parallel because they also see the parallels between Nazis and themselves.

A reminder that asking American soldiers to take an oath to an individual is rather unAmerican, authoritarian, and antidemocratic. And any such oath taken doesnât replace or supplant any oath taken to the Constitution. Just thought Iâd throw that out there for no particular reason today.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."
