Every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

Remember this.

That’s paywall, not payroll

It is easy to blame many others for their roles in nightmare, but Roberts had the greatest opportunity to arbitrate fairly and decisively if still from within his proportedly conservative perspective.

Instead he has consistently taken the role of a procedural and constitutional hypocrite.

Strait of Hormuz won't reopen, Iranian leader tells Trump President Trump said without a deal, US may allow ceasefire to expire next week, while Iranian leaders said they won't reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Tom Homan tells WH reporters that illegal immigration is not a victimless crime. Nor is public corruption, like taking 50 K in a CAVA bag to influence government policy. How is he still in gov?

In major win for voters, judge blocks Indiana GOP’s student ID ban While Indiana argued the ban was necessary to protect election integrity, the court found no evidence that student IDs had ever posed a problem.

ICYMI: In a major victory for student voters, a federal judge blocked Indiana’s ban on the use of student IDs for voter identification.

“There is no evidence that student IDs have been used to engage in voter fraud or any other voting-related misconduct,” the court concluded.

So glad this important work was done. It should be a wake up call for RFK Jr, but it won't be. He is so far off the approach of most Americans to vaccines, that he won't take this seriously. He is the worst possible person to be in charge of public health.

Just to go back to basics:

I once worked on a (winning) presidential campaign.

Something too obvious for anyone to mention was: "Don't get into a fight with the Pope over who knows more about Jesus."

These people are morons.

Someone should ask JD Vance: “You warned the Pope to be more careful when speaking about theology. Do you have any criticism for Hegseth who recited a made up Bible quote from the movie Pulp Fiction at a Pentagon prayer service? And why is Hegseth leading prayer services at DOD anyway?”

Pope James David Vance the First The vice president has decided he’s a more accomplished theologian than Leo XIV.

I wanna report a murder

“Vance’s response to Leo’s statements came during an interview at a Turning Point USA event in Georgia. It was a sour cocktail of equal parts hubris and ignorance with a spritz of Vance’s trademark smarm” writes @radiofreetom.bsky.social

"The people around Donald Trump, particularly JD Vance, have no moral center, they have no core, they are hollow people. If picking a fight with the Pope is what you have to do to remind the boss that you're a 'loyal soldier'...it shows you how craven these people are." - @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Pope James David Vance the First The vice president has decided he’s a more accomplished theologian than Leo XIV.

Vance has now seized the top seat in the Death of Expertise Hall of Fame: He has lectured the pope—the pope, the leader of a billion and a half Catholics—about being too sloppy with theology.

The queen of all vices: Pride.

A clear warning to Vance.

It might be good if these folks boned up on just war doctrine before they cited it. Because the war they are defending is not by any stretch of the imagination just. In fact, it is precisely the kind of war the doctrine bars. (However, if Iran defended itself v us that'd be ok under the doctrine.)
