“As the president graffitis his name to beloved institutions and builds monuments to his own vanity, we must focus on how much fun it will be to tear it all down.”
What Trump and his allies are doing, after all, is not really about honoring him. These tributes are meant to carry the same message as an unrepaired hole in the wall left by a violent domestic abuser’s fist.

It’s official: House Speaker Mike Johnson is letting the Affordable Care Act subsidies expire—and Republicans are pissed. One lawmaker described Johnson’s decision as “absolute bullsh*t.”

As soon as the shooting at Brown University happened, Internet sleuths were quick to blame the shooting on “leftist activists," eventually pinning the crime on a third-year student with little evidence.
