Amon the many important points in this by @jamellebouie.net : the sheer bizarreness of combining a constitutional theory in which the president, personally, has untrammelled authority with an administration in which the president personally barely participates.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

Orban is pleading publicly with his boss Putin not to punish him in a letter he wrote after the EU overrode his veto on frozen Russian assets.
He also said Hungary's "loyal cooperation" with the EU on sanctions was over.
Is he suggesting he was loyally cooperating before?🤔

Trump just announced he will address the nation tomorrow night from the White House. Probably to declare war on Venezuela. We all knew he was going to pull some last-second shit to distract from the Epstein files.

Nearly a year into Trump's 2nd term, the only rational conclusion that can be drawn from his shit show is that Vladimir Putin is now the Commander In Chief of the US military.
Look for Trump to send US soldiers to Ukraine to fight alongside Russia when Putin runs out of his own soldiers to kill...

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

LOL apparently Trump is giving his "malaise" address tomorrow.
Except unlike Carter, who actually said something meaningful and got good numbers, Trump will pretend everything is awesome and if you don't believe it, you're woke or something.
Gonna be a flaming disaster.
