this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

Trump’s Flood of Emergency Appeals Is Straining the Judicial System The administration has turned to the Supreme Court at a record pace, and the justices have issued orders that lower courts have struggled to interpret.

Trump has sought emergency intervention by the Supreme Court 28 times in the first eight months of his new term, more than Bush, Obama and Biden did combined over 20 years. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

The affair of the sword is the latest tussle between Mr. Trump and those who run the nation’s nonpartisan culture and and historical institutions, a number of whom he has fired or sought to bring to heel, starting with the National Archives.

The affair of the sword is the latest tussle between Mr. Trump and those who run the nation’s nonpartisan culture and and historical institutions, a number of whom he has fired or sought to bring to heel, starting with the National Archives.

The New York Times has repeatedly framed Trump’s unilateral attack on government agencies and civil society group’s (like universities) as a β€œtussle” between equals. And they continue to use the phrase β€œto heel,” as if his acts of intimidation are part of the presidents’s constitutional duties.

I think that’s true, but media credulity meant that headlines moved on and it got less attention afterwards
