I think it should be clear at this point that like the US federal government has collapsed.

There are no branches. There are no rules.

There is just one man and his truth social posts.

The fact that Winsome Earle-Sears was ranting at the debate the other night, 100% falsely, about solar power (and wind power) supposedly not being reliable, in a sane world would be disqualifying. bluevirginia.us/2025/10/satu... h/t @nicolasfulghum.bsky.social

Nicolas Fulghum: "NEW | EU solar generation has already exceeded its 2024 total as of September ☀️🇪🇺 Solar is by far the fastest growing source of electricity in the EU, up 20% year-on-year."

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

So Quatari military base in Idaho reflects globalism. I'm confused.

Giving a military base (i.e. sovereign space) to a foreign nation is ceding United States territory.

If TACO can give a part Idaho away to Qatar, he can give half of New York away to Israel, or give Alaska back to Russia.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Everybody everywhere seems to be working and living in a quiet fear, or a sheer panic if your very livelihood or existence is threatened by the Administration's actions. I feel fortunate to be retired, but have had many conversations with furloughed Fed employees from my past days.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

So TrumpRx. Hm. Mostly Astra Zeneca formulas?

One thing I don't hear is that we are all over-medicated. MAHA should be also focusing on reducing the need for chemical concoctions. All these drugs have side-effects. Might be useful for one thing, but they can kill you other ways.

$$ for trump.

Did Miller go too far? 2/2 AI

While Project 2025 discusses various proposals and aims to dismantle the administrative state, it does not directly use the term "plenary authority" in its content.

Not explicitly mentioned in Project 2025
The term "plenary authority" is not explicitly mentioned in Project 2025. However, it is a legal term referring to complete and unrestricted power over a specific subject, often used in the context of presidential authority.

Clearly Miller is on this bandwagon. Someone should find the term "plenary authority" in Project 2025 and present the text to Americans.
