There's also the mass deportation campaign, driving workers into hiding. And restricting international students and research grants to universities.

Unlike the first term I expect that the economy will tank sooner rather than later, driving Trump into sub-33 territory.

The WHITE HOUSE The White House V* @WhiteHouse X.com OPERATION MAKING D.C. SAFE & BEAUTIFUL ARRESTED CARRYING A PISTOL WITHOUT A LICENSE The WHITE HOUSE 2:01 PM • 8/11/25 • 1M Views

The White House’s official X account has a long thread in which they’ve posted pictures of people arrested during the feds’ occupation of the city. Every single person in the thread is a person of color.

According to @politico.com, Sen. Murphy is advocating for what I thought would be the baseline position of Senate Dems: no more funds unless Congress reclaims its spending authority.

Who is for business-as-usual? Sen. Patty Murray, D-WA since 1993.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

To be fair I would also prefer @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social as Speaker of the House.

A Democratic Party with any spirit would stage a press conference every single day to present Donald Trump with one sarcastic award after another.

there have been zero mass shootings in Washington, D.C. in the past 12 years. In Tampa, where Benny lives, there has been at least one mass shooting every year since 2022.

The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.

Trump 2.0 tariff tracker According to President Trump, “Tariff is the most beautiful word in the dictionary.” Throughout his presidential campaign, Trump promised to use tariffs

The flurry of announcements obscures the fact that there baseline 10% tariffs in place plus a variety of mad king initiatives not included in the "pauses, " e.g. Canada tariffs. Here's a tracker: www.tradecomplianceresourcehub.com/2025/08/06/t...

The only place in DC where crime is up is the White House.

Trump pardoned Jared Wise, a January 6th rioter who repeatedly urged the mob to “kill” police officers there. He called the cops Nazis and “the Gestapo”

The same Jared Wise currently serves as a senior adviser in Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice.

And a lot of it will not be Madisonian "institutional ambition" but MAGA types turning on Trump as they jockey to inherit the coalition + partisan ambition by Democrats. We need a new institutional setting for the partisan era.

also, if you are wondering how the "rule of law" is going in Florida, I will note that Florida is listed as a Republican gerrymander (with an F from the Princeton redistricting report card) despite having a state constitutional amendment requiring fair, nonpartisan districts.

FOX News has incorrectly labeled Utah & SC as Democratic gerrymanders (!) even though their states are R trifectas. Utah's congressional map is 4-0 R; and SC 6 R-1 D. #redistricting

When Chuck Grassley ran for reelection in 2022 he traveled to all 99 counties in Iowa sucking up every last dose of horse tranquilizer. When you're the president pro tempore they let you do it.
