Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

The reason we're not letting the discussion on ICE funding go away in favor of the cost of living is that we know they're not going to do anything for the cost of living either

The TACO cycle:

Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank.

So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.

Just a quick reminder that, 20 years ago, God briefly turned his gaze down upon all of us. All good things must come to an end, the bad ones just go on forever.

You could probably copy and paste the existing agreements into a word document, print them on your office letterhead, and hand them over to him, and he’d be like oooo look at this great deal we’re getting
Oh man Rutte absolutely pulled one over on Donnie, looking forward to hearing what BS he offered up.

Dollar HOD on this and stocks ripping.

TACO on the Greenland tariffs

This is all a show, due in part to the bar set by the Supreme Court last month. The second a single active-duty soldier is deployed to Minnesota, a federal judge is going to hit the Trump clown show DOJ with posse comitatus off the top rope like it's Macho Man Randy Savage.
They are sending more armed forces to harass the local PTOs who are just trying to protect kids and other community members from being kidnapped

That's the story and it should be on every damn front page in the country

Yeah, agreed. One of the great mistakes of Biden was believing that the public didn't want to hear from the President, like, ever (didn't help that Biden wasn't physically capable, either). Get out there on Insta or TikTok every once in a while and take credit for a good economy or whatever.

🇺🇸 trifectas get shot at doing something

Obama chose policy (ACA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem

Biden chose policy (ARP/IRA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem

The platform must be institutional reform next time. Right from the start, as @dhnexon.bsky.social said
If we want to actually be a representative democracy, then the platform needs to be institutional reform. All the Popularism and all the policies follow from that, not the other way around.
- DC/PR/USVI statehood
- Enlarging the House
- MMDs
- New VRA
- Totally revamping SCOTUS: bsky.app/profile/mcop...
- Automatic universal voter registration
- Rewriting the "national emergency" laws: bsky.app/profile/mcop...
- Subordinating the Senate: bsky.app/profile/mcop...
Etc.

Sentence I'd never thought I'd write: I hope the Republican Supreme Court justices think about their portfolios more the next time they want to weaken the Constitution to boost Trump's power.

CFB coach rankings entering 2026:

1. Cignetti
1. Smart

3-10: Don't really care, but some order of Lanning, Day, Whittingham, Ferentz, DeBoer, Sitake, Freeman, and Mario sounds about right to me, before I realize I forgot someone obvious
