Seriously, WaPo?
From fancy fonts to gilded accents, President Trump has made it part of his domestic agenda to do an extensive redecorating spree around the White House.

Steven Rattner: If the Trump administration wants to increase home affordability, they need to build more homes. Deporting construction workers and increasing economic uncertainty certainly isn’t helping.

Today @rutgerbregman.com posted a transcript of his Reith Lecture showing that the version that BBC aired removed the line about Trump's world-historical corruption.
BBC emailed me: "we made the decision to remove one sentence from the lecture on legal advice.”

"the idea that Republicans could lose their majority this Congress is no longer far-fetched. If Johnson were to lose another House Republican in the middle of this term to retirement, death or illness, there’s a decent chance that the GOP can end up in the minority at some point in 2026."
☀️TOP in @punchbowlnews.bsky.social AM: MTG announced the end of her House career Friday night in a manifesto, of sorts, that was stinging for House Republicans. Why? Because the message rang true to so many in the House GOP.

Yeah. That's basically what I argued here. It's forcing the debate we need:

In every way, Trump demands fealty to himself—and to his whims, wholly untethered to law—over fealty to federal officials’ oaths of office. So again: Are you effing kidding me? What Dems did here was patriotic. They forced the debate we need over Trump's lawlessness.

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call.
I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

I could not possibly agree more, but if it’s going to happen it means convincing a sizeable portion of MAGA Republicans, which is almost all of them, to break ranks and remember the oaths they took to the Constitution instead of their fear of that orange bastard.
Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.
Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...

More Evidence Submitted to Dismiss the Charges Against Kilmar Abrego
Friday night, we learned that the DOJ lied about the door being closed to Costa Rica. Mr. Abrego's lawyers feel that's enough to immediately dismiss on vindictive and selective prosecution grounds.

Bloomberg unfolds the history of the Vance-Dmitriev initiative... Dmitriev put it to Witkoff and Vance in a meeting in Miami, Axios published it, Trump and Rubio knew nothing of it. But then Trump decided to simply bless Dmitriev's draft after the fact. A perfect biopsy of "diplomacy" under Trump.

Bessent: "Ezra Klein took the mask off. He said, 'This wasn't about healthcare. This was about stopping totalitarianism.' Democrats haven't been able to stop President Trump in the courts, they haven't been able to stop him in the media. So they had to harm the American people."
