Since I use Twitter almost exclusively through the Tweetbot app and Twitter seems to have shut down the API, I won't be monitoring this account much anymore. I'm over on the mammoth social network at the ID in my bio.

Again, this No Kings thing is not my bag. But the almost cultish refusal to understand the point by Trump’s usual apologists is bizarre. Yes: He was lawfully and legitimately elected. But Stephen Miller’s Jacksonian-Wilsonian theory that Trump has a “mandate” to do whatever he wants is anti-Constitutional hogwash (it’s amazing how the position of two of the most iconic Democrats in American history is now the religion of the GOP).

The word mandate doesn’t appear in the Constitution. It is impossible to have a “mandate” to exceed your authority under the Constitution. Even if Trump won an actual landslide (he didn’t), and all of the voters wanted him to exceed his authority, it wouldn’t (and certainly shouldn’t) matter.

I honestly never want to hear the faux right wing eggheady refrain “we’re not a democracy, we’re a republic” ever again from people claiming that Trump can do whatever he wants because “the American people voted for this.” That is the exact opposite of republicanism ffs. It’s also not true. Trump got lots of votes from people who just wanted prices lower or didn’t want Harris to be president. The idea all of his voters pre-approved everything he has done or will do is more cultish nonsense.

Regardless, if the American people want a politician to violate the Constitution that doesn’t give that politician a scintilla more right or authority to violate the constitution. I’m used to explaining this to democracy fetishists of the left. Didn’t expect to spend the last decades of my career trying to explaining it to populism fetishists of the right.

This Charlie Kirk assassin thing is like the plot of a Scream movie.

Is it the left? Is it the right? Turns out it’s that group from the first act you barely remember, mentally unstable gamers. What a plot twist.

[Megan McArdle @asymmetricinfo]

Yes, everyone, please knock it off. Whatever the ideology of Kirk's killer, he was responsible, not millions of strangers.

Posting Mana’s essay however-many days late to the party a) because it’s very good and b) because it illustrates how ill-equipped politics is to be a solution for fundamental human yearnings.

@kairyssdal I have not served in the military, but I always thought, “You put it all on the line for us and we are now going to pay to take care of your health for the rest of your life,” was a fair deal and not something we should be trying to walk back.

@Sarcasticluther Thank you for your sermon this morning. I needed to hear that good news today more than I had thought.

[Tim Hadley @timhadley]

@RonFilipkowski Can’t say that’s someone I expected to express those views.

The Willcocks arrangement of O Come All Ye Faithful is my favorite—and dare I say the best?—not least because of the alternate harmonization of its final verse. https://t.co/AB3TcGDui9

@WalshFreedom Every day, man. Every day.

[NWS Boulder @NWSBoulder]

Can you find the front?🧐

Well...it's COMING. Within the next hour it will push across the Wyoming-Colorado border push south and westward through the afternoon/early evening period. Temperatures will plummet rapidly as this front goes through, so be prepared! 🥶#COwx

[Tim Hadley @timhadley]

Well, THAT’s quite a temperature gradient. The cold is coming…

[NWS Boulder @NWSBoulder]

Thursday's high temp forecast is brutally cold! For Denver's official observing location at DIA, the forecast high is -5°.

- The last time Denver had a high below 0 was February 5, 2014
- The last time Denver had a high below the forecast of -5° was December 21, 1990 (-7°) #COwx

[Kody Wilson @kodythewxguy]

*LIFE THREATENING WIND CHILLS* will approach -50°F late Wednesday night and going into Friday morning along the front range & eastern plains of Colorado. Approaching -65°F in Wyoming & Nebraska! PLAN NOW! #COwx #WYwx #NEwx #ArcticCold #WindChillWatch

[NWS Boulder @NWSBoulder]

@mitchellbyars Missing digits eh? We can add a digit to the overnight low Thurs if you would like ;)

[Mitchell Byars @mitchellbyars]

Hey @NWSBoulder, I think there is a typo in this week's forecast. There appear to be many missing digits. Can we add some more? And maybe take out some of those weird dash things. Thanks
