"Trump has been dropping feces on us for a decade…and now we’re used to it.
It would be great if we had an institution enshrined in the Constitution that would alert us when dangerously out-of-bounds things happen. An institution like maybe the press. Instead, the media are easing us into tyranny."
“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

charade of a Motion warrants the exercise of discretion in favor of appointment of new counsel.
He states, in general terms, that he wants counsel “to help with the super important sentencing as
well as the somewhat important appeals process,” but then he proceeds to vilify one of the victims
of his crimes (then-presidential candidate and now President of the United States), invite a
courtroom fight with that victim (as he did in a prior filing [see ECF No. 262]), make various
inappropriate requests about trading his life in a prisoner swap (as he did in a prior court filing too
[see ECF No. 194]), and strangely assert that “just a quarter of an inch further back and we all
would not have to deal with all of this mess forwards”—evidently referring to his public attempt
to inflict self-harm in the courtroom after the verdict [ECF No. 359-1]. This largely unserious
request continues Defendant’s calculated attempts to make a mockery of this proceeding since he
elected to go pro se.

Aileen Cannon does not like that Ryan Routh (convicted of attempting to kill Trump) called Trump a dictator, but she'll begrudgingly reappoint counsel anyway.

The deal to end the shutdown would pave the way for senators to sue over phone searches.
Because the provision is retroactive to 2022, it would appear to make eligible the eight lawmakers whose phone records were subpoenaed by investigators for Mr. Smith...

Americans gave you a clear assignment last Tuesday, and you didn’t understand it.
Now, we are giving you another one: Step down and allow a Democrat with a spine to unite your caucus for the good of all Americans.
Remember what you told Biden? Now, tell it to yourself.
