Anybody out there have opinions about painting your ceiling?
It always seems cozy from the outside, but would it feel like too much to spend time in just one color?

This implies an actions=consequences logic train that has not previously been demonstrated by, nor effectively happened to, the subjects of the first sentence.
I think we're at a point where Trump's inner-circle know that they'll lose Congress in a year and Trump is fairly confident that whatever has been ailing him will kill him before he has to leave office. We're deep into Mad King territory as no one attached to his admin has anything left to lose.

As opposed to which press conference? Just seeking clarity here.
Watching this interminable press conference, I get the sense that Trump et al haven't really thought through what happens next.

These articles always frame this on people beating the subway fare. According to this article fare evasion is~1/3rd of the MTA's $1B loss. Subway scofflaws aren't the majority of that 1/3.
Meanwhile, what about the ~2/3 of a $B lost to drivers who cover their license plates to not pay tolls?

Firing "lenient judges" and establishing is own system for overwriting laws is what the Nazis did in 1936
BREAKING NYT:
The Trump admin just fired eight immigration judges in New York City.
All the judges were dismissed from the immigration offices at 26 Federal Plaza — a building that houses the NYC headquarters of ICE and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city.
