🚨 INCREDIBLE SCENE: President Trump just directed his motorcade straight into the drained Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool for an up-close look at the ongoing renovation progress!

Trump wanted to personally inspect the major “American flag blue” resurfacing project — and the footage is absolutely wild!

A new report finds corporations like Kroger and McDonald's are using digital loyalty programs to track your data and potentially charge you more.

It's a tactic known as surveillance pricing.

Without prompting, Judges Nichols and Contreras asked prosecutors whether they expected the misdemeanor 1/6 trial would go on even after Trump took over the Justice Department. They’re violating the cardinal rule: one must never preemptively obey tyrants.

I missed this. Did we elect Elon Musk??

"Republicans appear to be in the middle stage of a familiar Trump-era progression," @jonathanchait writes.

"It begins 'He’d never do it' before moving on to 'We’ll stop him if he tries'" before "settling on 'There was nothing we could have done anyway'": https://t.co/GPPEeAphow

Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law.

I would know because I wrote the law.

Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement.

This is what illegal corruption looks like. https://t.co/JJjJ59DgB5

Of course Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Todd Young, and John Curtis could all say tomorrow they won’t agree to abandoning the Senate’s constitutional advise and consent role. Might be good to nip some of the planned authoritarianism in the bud, no?

“Fascism reduces the imbroglio of sensation to what the Leader says. A liberal has to tell a hundred stories. A communist has one story…A fascist just has to be a storyteller. Because words do not attach to meanings, the stories don’t need be consistent.” https://t.co/aeGbMCYoCt

Before it’s too late to make history transparent and to Trump-proof the past from erasure, Jack Smith and Merrick Garland — yes, that guy — can yet perform a great public service by going fully public:

Just a reminder:

That $300 billion in frozen Russian central bank assets is still sitting there waiting to be seized by the U.S. and allied nations for use by Ukraine.

International and U.S. law permit such seizure.

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

Republicans are going to have a 53-47 majority in the Senate, and yet here’s Trump urging the Senate to go into recess so that he can bypass it altogether.

In other words, he wants to install folks who couldn’t even get through *that* Senate.

It’s going to be a long four years.

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing.

The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.

“Let’s not be surprised about where this is heading. Historians may or may not have the ear of the electorate, but the history of this era, at least, will be told. And, if past is prologue, it’s likely to be lurid.”
