Trump is dozing off in meetings. He’s wandering during ceremonies. His rants are more unhinged, his temper shorter, and he’s suddenly getting MRIs the White House can’t explain. Something is wrong — and they’re hiding it

The Alarming Signs of a President in Decline
Trump is showing confusion, fatigue, erratic behavior, and unexplained medical tests — and the White House won’t level with the public about what’s happening.

Yesterday, at a threats hearing, an FBI official testified that “antifa” is a major national security threat, but couldn’t explain its structure, location, or membership. Meanwhile, the White House quietly released a new National Security Strategy that elevates mass migration as the defining threat.

In the long run, the most damaging policy of all might be one that’s gotten scant attention - at least from non-finance-nerds. Even if he doesn't try to fire Powell, he can mess with Fed.

Americans, including many in Trump’s base, overwhelmingly see higher holiday prices than normal, an AP-NORC poll finds.
Shoppers say 'tis the season for inflation, an AP-NORC poll finds
A new AP-NORC poll finds this holiday season isn’t quite so merry for American shoppers as large shares of them are dipping into savings, scouring for bargains and feeling like the overall economy is stuck in a rut under President Donald Trump.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

“I fear for this institution,” Republican state Sen. Greg Walker, chair of the Senate Committee on Elections, said during an emotional speech this week. “I fear for the state of Indiana and I fear for all states if we allow intimidation and threats to become the norm.”

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Courts are not just a frontline – they’re the center of the fight against authoritarian threats.

We are working in the court of law, the court of public opinion, and the halls of government to ensure that when people win in court, those wins are enforced.

Sad truth
In 2017, I believed the institutions would hold on to withstand Trump’s worst impulses. They hung on by a thread. Then I watched Trump, Miller & Project 2025 plot for 4 years to make sure they wouldn’t hold again. Which is why I didn’t believe they would hold again. They aren’t.

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.

We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.
