I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Trump's "mandate" isn't as robust as Biden's was in 2020. What's often happening is that he (and his allies) are conflating the 2024 shift with support — a shift that is in part a reversion of the 2020 shift to the left.

Column | Trump’s 2024 ‘mandate’ isn’t as robust as Biden’s was in 2020
The outcome of the 2024 election looks like a mix of 2000 and 2004, not 2008 or even 2020.
