"A Project 2029 must articulate a broad new conception of the nation’s political order. Democrats must have a plan for reconstruction—for building something new on the wreckage of what Trump, MAGA and the GOP have wrought—not restoration of what was."

@Tudec We had a Dixie Cup dispenser like that. Memories.

"The 38-year-old scion of one of the country’s biggest home-building empires possesses zero experience whatsoever in intelligence or even national security. He makes Gabbard look well prepared by comparison. Pulte is wholly unqualified for the job."

BREAKING AXIOS:

The Trump admin plans to drop its controversial $1.8 billion slush fund — at least for now, two senior admin officials told Axios.

It's unclear whether this would also kill the IRS settlement that protected Trump and his businesses from being audited. https://t.co/kzwzcHVPgn

@maryjpitzl @LelaAlstonAz Feeling nostalgic for the little burro election signs. Low key, polar opposite to the modern bombastic style.

Tariffs that are as dumb as rocks. Taxes on slab quartz imports would raise the price of new housing.

The biggest news isn't that Trump is appointing someone without a national security background to a position that, by law, requires "extensive" experience. It's that Pulte earned Trump's trust by using **mortgage** records to pursue perceived political enemies. Now this top henchman will have access to some of our most sensitive intelligence and exquisite capabilities. That's why this is so noteworthy -- and concerning.

For me, a legislator wearing a cowboy hat who isn't an actual rancher is disqualifying. Silly cosplay. Might as well be an anime character or furry.

[AZ Capitol Times (State Affairs Arizona) @AzCapitolTimes]

Arizona is the American Southwest, meaning there’s no shortage of Western history and culture at our state Capitol. Sometimes, that influence spills over onto the chamber floors, leaving onlookers with a fairly good shot of seeing one of Arizona’s highest elected officials donning a cowboy hat more akin to a John Wayne movie than a state legislature.

Fire danger across all three of our districts remains VERY HIGH, and therefore, we remain in fire restrictions across the entirety of the Coconino National Forest.

Here's more information about what you can and can't do during stage 1 fire restrictions: https://t.co/5LnEf4TlUi

[Josh Rogin @joshrogin]

Trump says he is bored with the war and couldn’t care less the negotiations broke down. Hard to imagine a worse attitude for a president to have when U.S. troops are in harms way. Sad.

@SpeedFreaks @WWTRaceway The Apocalypse Now-level pyro is a bit much.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

There is no world in which this is okay.  

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 

His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated. 

If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didn’t recuse himself. 

This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it. 

The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next. 

The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW. 

Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Court’s funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.

@ralphamsden The epitome of corporate rock. Not that they sold out, they just recorded something the label wanted to make a hit out of. Incredible vocals as always, but not imaginative or especially musical.

[Magachurch Pastor🙏🇺🇸 @magachrchpastr]

It's been a long week, but after much prayer, I've decided to endorse Ken Paxton from the pulpit this Sunday. Is he a criminal, a liar and a cheat? Yes, but he has found Jesus. Meanwhile, Talarico is a bit too fond of vegetables for my liking🙏🇺🇸

I’m listening your anger and I apologize for this tweet. I didn’t realize there was a big community of people very attached to preserving special moments in 0s and 1s in iCloud and then using an algorithm to reassemble them into visual media. I promise to do better.

@Tudec Plus they're all quite used to not having a Canadian team in the finals. It's just normal now.

@ghosthoffa They say styles make fights. This will either be spectacular or deadly dull.
