PSA: that screenshot circulating with the Bondi quote about The Boss is from a satire account. Don’t waste a rage-facepalm on it, there are plenty of real grievances to focus on.

A law firm stands up to Trump.

“The leaders of Keker, Van Nest & Peters called Trump’s memorandum ‘inexcusable’ and ‘despicable.’ ‘Our liberties depend on lawyers’ willingness to represent unpopular people and causes, including in matters adverse to the government.’

I hope people realize that Trump is trying to make it illegal to criticize his regime.

They are trying to give themselves the ability to spy on, target, and arrest anyone who criticizes them. They want to end freedom of speech in America.

Let’s be clear about what they’re doing.

I see tomorrow is Friday.

Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day?

Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else?

I just can’t keep track.
