Oh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)

"A superpower emeritus about ready to be stripped for parts." That's where we are now. And the not-so-long road here began with the Citizens United decision.

The Road from ‘Citizens United’ to Trump, Musk, and Corruption
A ‘naïve’ Supreme Court delivered lawless greed and cruelty. We’ll have to save ourselves, if we can.

Before the election, I warned that Trump would pardon all of the Jan. 6 defendants and some of them would form the core of a new rightwing paramilitary organization loyal to Trump.
At the time, people dismissed me as alarmist. I stand by that prediction.

Call at least one Congressional Republican’s office every weekday and urge them not to confirm Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard or Cash Patel…OR, ask how they can justify Trump’s J6 pardons. (“Is someone missing a spine?”) Flood the phone lines everyday. You’ll feel better for having made the effort. ✊🏼

Donald Trump nominated Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel because he wants to show Republicans that he is the boss. That he can strip them of their dignity by making them support terrible nominees.
Senate Republicans may be in the majority, but Trump controls them. That is the story.

Seeing a lot of msm coverage put this down as just “dismantling DEI”
BREAKING: In a new executive order sent out by the White House, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.
