Gregg gets it correct here. “New OMB grant rule” sounds nerdy. But this is a huge and insane plan. This is the Trump admin writing down their goal of fundamentally changing the relationship between government and society. Funding for everything will be taken over. 1/

This line from Ketanji Brown Jackson—that the Court's "objective is protecting guns"—is clearly right, but it's pretty unusual for justices to put sentiments like this in writing

Frida: The Making of an Icon review – forget her iconic status, just show us more of her art
Frida Kahlo took self-portraiture to new levels of interior revelation and her work takes you deep into her mystery. So why is this show padded out with responses by lesser artists?

The most important paragraph by

that you will read on the difference in reaction to Trump’s age and Biden’s age. Biden had to earn legitimacy. Therefore his age was an obstacle. Trump was given legitimacy. Age doesn’t matter.
