In your face: The brutal aesthetics of MAGA Does proximity to power rely on a specific look?

Kristi Noem is out. But the brutal aesthetics are forever.

I believe that there *may* have been some actual praying going on here, but Trump's life and words lead me to be skeptical that he was. More likely he is taking the opportunity for a short nap in this situation.

Oh, yeah. Tough guy when you have the Capitol Police right there to stop anyone from fighting. The Congress is already tuned up to impeach the head of DHS. Maybe they can get the opportunity to impeach him, then we would be rid of him both from the Senate and government.

Yeah! More sunlight. And, it was also fun reading the latest just to see the Dallas Morning News reporter's response to asking him to reveal all of his source info so you could scoop him. 😆 Glad several news outlets are on this. lt's a huge deal.

After 16 Hours, the City Council Moves Forward on City Hall Resolution The marathon meeting did carve out some guardrails on the directive to look for a new home for city operations and study developing the current City Hall site.

Well, how about that. There's hope for Dallas, yet. It should be a huge debate. (But that's coming from a former Government teacher. 👋) And that's a good update to your ongoing @dmagazine.bsky.social coverage, especially being so sleep-deprived. 😉

Yet, not that long ago, he said that we obliterated their nuclear weapons program. There’s a huge lie in there somewhere.

The authority that Trump has asserted in taking America to war against Iran is, like many of his other power grabs, an expression of the very tyranny the Framers were seeking to prevent. “Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object,” a young congressman named Abraham Lincoln wrote in 1848. This was “understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us.” This quote, incidentally, is immortalized on the House’s website, if any members of Congress are looking for it.

The design of the Constitution divided warmaking authority between Congress and the executive to prevent a president to take the country to war by themselves for any petty or self-serving reason. You know, like a king would. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Ugh! Was that City of Dallas? And, do they have evening city council meetings or did that stretch from day to night?

The kind of headline that used to be career or even administration ending.

If Mike Johnson and congressional Republicans thought that this operation was essential to protecting national security, they had a simple path forward: Vote to authorize it. Why doesn't Mike Johnson want to vote to protect American national security?
