[The Steady State @steadystate2025]

Free press under siege: one of the key indicators of authoritarianism in our recent assessment. “Nonpartisan outlets have been excluded from White House briefings, while partisan media figures aligned with Administration narratives have been granted privileged access.”

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

🚨 THIS IS TRAGIC

US Marine Corps Colonel and combat veteran, Doug Krugman, "resigned from the military because of Trump," after 24 years of service.

He wrote in an op-ed in the Washington Post stating, and I quote:
"United States military officers take an oath to defend the Constitution without mental reservation or purpose of evasion. I swore or repeated that oath under five presidents, starting with former president Bill Clinton. I risked my life for it, serving as an infantry officer in two wars. I watched Marines die for it."

"No commander in chief is perfect. President Clinton’s moral failures are well known. President George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq might be one of the worst errors in U.S. history. All recent presidents share responsibility for our failure in Afghanistan. I continued to serve despite all that because I believed the Constitution brought the country more success than failure, and I believed our presidents took their oaths to it seriously."

"With President Trump, I no longer believe that. During his first term, his actions became increasingly difficult for me to justify, culminating with the Jan. 6 attack on Congress as it tried to execute its duties. I hoped he had learned from those errors, but it only took a few days of his second term for me to realize he had not. I could not swear without reservation to follow a commander in chief who seemed so willing to disregard the Constitution."

"Worse than immorality, however, has been President Trump’s willingness to disregard the law and Constitution to achieve his goals. When asked in May about the Fifth Amendment requirements for due process and if he needed to uphold the Constitution as president, the first words out of his mouth were "'I don’t know.'"

"Instead of trying to work within the Constitution, or to amend it, President Trump is testing how far he can ignore it. If voters and legislators cannot close the gaps in our laws to clarify the limits to presidential power, those who serve our government will continue to struggle. The next president — of either party — may continue us down this path toward collapse."

"I voluntarily gave up my rank as the president suggested, but the future of our country is more important than any individual’s career, wealth or power. I have no regrets about my decision. I have given up the service I loved for the freedom to do the right thing, the freedom to speak my mind and the freedom to speak in defense of our country."

[Umpire Auditor @UmpireAuditor]

Umpire Doug Eddings missed 24 calls in ALCS game 2.

This was the worst called playoff game since October 7, 2022 -- a game also called by Eddings

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

And today was one of Russia’s most destructive massive bombings of Ukraine, Kyiv is cut off from electricity, and innocent people were killed and injured.

Anyway, thank you to President Putin for kissing my ass just in the right spot.

[Bruce Arthur @bruce_arthur]

Benny is a confirmed plagiarist who was literally a recipient of Russian money to further propaganda aims like, last year. They are trying to create their own farcical, poisoned unreality, every day

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

this is a crime

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

Jacob Misiorowski threw 31 pitches at 100.0+ mph tonight

That’s the most by a pitcher in a postseason game under pitch tracking (2008)

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

Judge Immergut blocks Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops!

Before they start screeching about deep state activist judges, a quick reminder, Judge Immergut is:

-A Republican
-Appointed *BY* Trump
-Confirmed by Republican majority

AND:

-Had her first district attorney job under appointment during Bush era
-Was a deputy district attorney helping in the impeachment of Clinton.

She is as Republican as they come and even she said Trump’s deployment was:

-“untethered to facts” and not legal.

@TwinsAlmanac Leading the Twins in 2026 will be harder and more complicated than being the president.
