Hegseth doesn't dispute the existence of a memo planning for the establishment of a "National Guard response force that's gonna be trained in crowd control and civil unrest and deployed in all 50 states by April 2026."
Brought to you by the same voters who started losing faith in the government when government forces attacked the Branch Davidian complex in Waco in 1993

So if that's the new rule --- that Trump can just order the murder of anyone he chooses, what are the odds that say, a year from now, he decides that the "communist, Hamas/Soros-loving terrorists" who oppose him are a similar threat? He believes he has unlimited power. Why wouldn't he use it?

Along with unilaterally imposed tariffs, this is just explicitly the kind of shit monarchs used to do to get money without having to summon a parliament. It's the sort of thing that cost Charles I his head. The kind of expedient Louis XVI ran out of that forced him to call the Estates-General.

Odds are this aggressively did not happen. But it would of course be just as unconstitutional to spend money donated to the government without a duly enacted appropriation as it is to spend tax money that way.

Photo of an antique bicycle with unusual wheels: Inside the wheels are six smaller wheels, and then a seventh wheel around the hub.
"Height of these wheels is 26 inches; diameter of springs, 6-1/2 inches; width of springs, 3/4 inch. Springs of sheet steel, composed of four-plys. Removes all shock from rider and machine, and consequently permits the construction of a much lighter machine in every respect. These wheels have great lateral strength. A machine lighter in weight and cheaper than any now in use can be made on this principle. It is confidently believed this will soon supersede all other wheels. The test has been completely satisfactory.

Before pneumatic tires, inventors were really thinking hard about how to get a softer ride. I can't decide which 1880's wheels are cooler. See Alt-text for details.

Itโs not just the facade: Team Trump has wrecked much of the White Houseโs East Wing
By Tuesday afternoon, it appeared obvious that a significant portion of the East Wing has been demolished, the president's earlier vows notwithstanding.
If republicans are fine with this, is there any reason why he couldn't just... knock down the lincoln memorial? or the vietnam wall?
What else might he want to do to arlington cemetary besides putting his big weird french arch with gold dingleberries in front of it?

Trump shits on America. Why doesnโt the media care?
For many news orgs, Trumpโs fascist coalition is uniquely legitimate.
"When Democrats or liberals question the morals of Trump voters, the press treats it as a major scandal. But Trump expresses a desire to cover protestors with feces โ essentially saying that anyone who disagrees with him is shit โ the media is barely willing to talk about it. Why?"
