Congrats again to everyone, but especially the Democratic elites, who told us that Scott Bessent was a credible Treasury Secretary because he went to the right schools & cocktail parties.

Even in the context of a drug cartel, President Trump fawns over the elites and screws the working man.
New in PN: Trump follows through on an especially ugly campaign promise

"For years, Donald Trump has fantasized about lawlessly killing 'drug dealers.' Now he's making that happen even as he pardons actual drug kingpins."

Trump's dementia has grown so extreme that a select group of advisors are now running the country without his input. To find who those advisors are and what their plans are, buy my new book, which will appear in March 2029.

I've been saying this for a year now: the Democrats have missed a gigantic political opportunity--and, at this point, have failed in an ethical obligation--to create a shadow-government health department that dispenses medically accurate information, guidance, and advice.

I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.

The non-bolded part of this quote is overstated (and a bit offensive, honestly). But the bolded part is right.

Relatedly, I hope to see a bunch of friends at the Washtenaw County Democratic Party meeting this morning!

This is, straightforwardly, the threat of disparate treatment to stifle dissent. The DOJ's Deputy Attorney General is telling lawyers critical of administration policies that their clients will be singled out for harsher treatment.

Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.

The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

You could write this. Or you could write: “That notion, which has been the rule in nearly every country in the Western Hemisphere for over a century, is grounded in the language of the 14th Amendment.”
