I find all “the senate is the problem because it’s undemocratic” discourse to be ridiculous on many philosophical, factual, and political levels. But the biggest reason it’s ridiculous is it’s just a waste of time. The Constitution literally makes it impossible to get rid of the senate, so maybe just deal with its existence the way we have to deal with the moon. Neither are going anywhere in our lifetimes.

Todd Blanche fired the DOJ pardon attorney for refusing to restore gun rights to convicted domestic abuser Mel Gibson…as a favor for a friend of Trump

Then he sent US Marshals to her home to intimidate her into silence

The helicopter thing is a very good illustration about how much of the Right is no longer conservative. The sentiment of "why should soldiers have to follow the rules if the rules are lame?" is a very, very strong repudiation of conservatism.

Good WSJ editorial on Trump's tariffs hurting US automotive manufacturing and raising car prices.

This action by the US government to subpoena reporters for reporting legitimate news on security concerns about Air Force 1 should alarm every American.

“The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects,” said David McCraw, The Times’s top newsroom lawyer, in a statement on Friday evening.

One most absurd things I've read in a while. Not only does Trump take credit for Walmart's pre-planned price cuts & ignore how his tariffs, deportations, & war are inflating grocery bills, he tasks NAVARRO & MILLER with solving the great grocery price mystery!

Literal LOL.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

So military troops under the direct control of Trump and Hegseth will be on the streets of our nation’s capital for the rest of Trump’s term. The rationale—they’re here to help with a crime emergency—is laughable. But of course the real reason is ominous.

Yet another attempt at bullying from the worst free speech president of my lifetime. Perhaps since Wilson.

Todd Blanche attempted to minimize the 1,200+ former Justice Dept officials who oppose his nomination, calling them a small %

Justice Connection (group of former agency employees) responded: "That contempt for DOJ’s workforce is exactly what makes him unfit to lead it"

[David French @DavidAFrench]

That's incredible news. Continuing to pray!

The ICE story around the man it shot is unraveling rapidly, with no evidence that he rammed anyone and video showing ICE actually rammed his vehicle.

Making matters worse, ICE had no body cameras, despite having gotten $29.9 billion in 2025 that they could have used to buy them.

[TheFrenchie @ML3democrats]

Today, I want to pay tribute to the victims of ICE. I am shocked that the media and newspapers aren’t covering this more extensively.

We still have no idea which anonymous masked agent in an unmarked car decided to shoot and kill this man who had lived peacefully in this country for ~4 decades and was traveling to work to support his US citizen family and serve his US citizen customers.

[Scott Lincicome @scottlincicome]

It's the 5th stage of protectionist grief.
1) Denial: Tariffs don't raise prices!
2) Anger: How dare these Unpatriotic & Greedy Corporations raise prices!
3) Bargaining: The tariffs helped us negotiate lower prices!
4) Depression: Maybe prices will fall once new domestic production arrives.
5) Acceptance: Actually, high prices are Good.

Ten people shot and killed by DHS agents so far and it’s going to keep happening

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Remember, just last week it came out in court that ICE outright invented a fake murder attempt on one of their officers and tried to send a man to prison for decades on claims he choked an agent, even though THEY were the ones who actually put the guy in a chokehold!
