As Vought sees it: The "natural"/divinely ordained order manifests in sharp hierarchies of race, gender, religion, and wealth; this "natural" order was enshrined in the nation's founding; therefore any attempt at leveling hierarchies is unnatural, un-American, and fundamentally illegitimate.

He fundamentally does not believe liberalism or "the Left" could authentically exist in America without some sinister "globalist" elites propagating these essentially foreign ideas from the institutions (federal agencies, universities...) they have taken over and turned into "leftist" power centers.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Well, here it is… the “does anything matter and do laws exist anymore?” moment

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

This is way more common than people outside of tech realize. Early in my career I was working for IBM Global Services on Wall Street and the project was to automatically convert Excel spreadsheets into trading code. Lots of businesses still run on Excel.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
