trump ain't as clueless as everybody is so quick to make him ot to be. Yes, he has a lot of senior moments, probably a lot more than your average grandpa. But he knows "his people" are rubes and suckers, easy to dupe. He can get away with anything.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

An extraordinary new policy from the Defense Department that equates basic reporting methods to criminal activity has prompted a revolt among Pentagon journalists that could leave the nation's largest agency and the world's largest military without a press corps.

'Without precedent': Virtually all news outlets reject restrictive Pentagon press policy

The policy would force news organizations to refrain from publishing material not approved by the military. Media lawyers say it violates the 1st Amendment.

SCOTUS sliced away a large part of the Voting Rights Act a dozen years ago, and could eliminate another key provision to reduce minority representation in the House in a way that hasn’t been seen in decades.
