If Biden, as president, had fallen asleep at the Pope’s funeral, it would have been the top story in America for days.

Trump falling asleep at the Pope’s funeral today won’t be, because our media is broken.

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "

You get the point.

FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

Let me be clear. Generally, law profs & PhD historians get along swimmingly. We fill in the puzzle together in the best ways. I love learning from legal scholarship. But originalist law profs? It's like you exist solely to insult our discipline and the work we do. Oh. And you're wrong. All the time.

I’m not sure it even counts as a conspiracy theory, but one theory I totally believe is that MAGA Washington is held together by a network of mutual implied blackmail. Hundreds or thousands of sex criminals who all know each other’s secrets.

Big congratulations to Republicans on their first big victory of the Trump era: empowering President Musk to strip funding for childhood cancer research out of the budget.
