What Newsom is doing is he is not giving them the benefit of the doubt. He is responding to the obvious implications of what Trump is doing rather than quibbling over whether or not that’s what he’s doing. trib.al/M2pTjom

Beef prices have hit record highs this Labor Day Weekend — in part thanks to Trump's tariffs.

Yet another GOP lawmaker was blasted by his own constituents for supporting President Trump’s agenda. This time, it was Barry Moore of Alabama, a U.S. representative and Senate candidate.

He slipped out the back door as the audience chanted, “Shame!” trib.al/lVT3W8n

@chaykak.bsky.social I disagree with your last editorial on the #TheNewYorker I mean, I'd agree if I hadn't met so much dangerous propaganda in the last few years, putting democracies at risk through the spread of misinformation. Think it can reduce all the bots and the damage they have done.

There has been a monumental shift in America over the last 8 years: Key institutions are accommodating and adapting to Trump, rather than challenging him. Trump is more aggressive than before, yes, but his authoritarian tendencies were fully on display then, too.

Why So Many Key Institutions Have Folded Rather Than Challenge Trump
Yes, they’re under pressure. But maybe a lot of these leaders kinda like what Trump’s doing. Just remember: They were defeated once before.

Using the machinery of justice to go on fishing expeditions about political predecessors is absolute madness. It corrodes trust in democratic transitions, chills dissent, and redefines political opposition as criminal subversion.
