The "charity" being his pocket.
The president’s own ATM: Step 1: Sue govt agency for taxpayer’s money while being in charge of agency. Step 2.: Coerce agency into “substantial” settlement. Step 3: Approve settlement despite being the plaintiff. Step 4: Give taxpayers’ money to charity. #Philanthropy!

In the least surprising turn of events ever, Trump takes control of the Kennedy Center, puts his name on it and in less than a year, bankrupts it so it has to close. What a shame for our country and for the arts community.
With ticket sales plummeting and artists pulling out, Trump decides to close the Kennedy Center for two years, promising to renovate it and try again to find an audience and performers when it reopens in 2028.

He's going to demolish the Kennedy Center just like he did the East Wing. Because people were mean to him and cancelled their shows.

Why it's hard to focus the outrage. Past 72 hours: - Trump sues IRS for $10b - Fulton Co. election records, play for 2026 steal - MELANIA doc/bribe rollout - WSJ on sellout of AI chips for personal $$ - DOJ pitch for Trump-loyal AUSAs - Epstein files, OMG - Minneapolis, ongoing

Yet I remember when the public, and especially Republicans, criticized President Carter because his brother Billy was hawking beer. Really bad beer. But, oh, what an ethical crisis that was!! And now we have this. Where is the bipartisan outcry?

As a lifelong conservative , I hope Democrats win big in November. The country needs checks and balances again, and MAGA needs to hear this loud and clear: we are done with the division and the intentional destruction of our Constitution and our country. The circus is over. 🇺🇸

Swing voters exist
Republicans did not lose the TX SD-9 runoff because of low GOP turnout: they lost because almost all of the independents and some of the Republicans voted Dem. Of those who voted in the TX SD-9 runoff, 50%+ were GOP primary voters or at GOP HH; only 35% were Dems or at Dem HH

"Follow your passion" is terrible advice. Grit is what gets you through life, not passion. I worry we have raised a generation to believe that hard work is for suckers, that making emotional choices about your career is wise.
Asian immigrants are often openly contemptuous of American education norms—like that Vivek tweet—because they think the only reason someone would opt out of grind culture is because they’re lazy and stupid. Actually, American education is traditionally quite demanding, it just

We have managed the breathtaking miracle of choking ourselves with more red tape than the fucking *Communists* produce. While also inflicted moronic RFK luddites on ourselves. So now we are losing ground in medical innovation to the CCP. Super great.
China’s EV industry gets the attention, but biopharma is following the same trajectory. Know-how, speed, and cost advantages are making Chinese firms the innovation pipeline for Western pharma, increasingly displacing US startups as companies scramble to license and set up JVs.

It's revealing that apologists for Trumpist politicizing of DOJ boils down to an argument that law isn't an actual thing, it's just a power structure to be resisted or captured. This is just critical legal theory by way of MAGA.

I'm sure all the MAGA Republicans concerned about transgender use of bathrooms/locker rooms will be outraged by this (FWIW: I think some of those concerns are valid! but surely they apply even more here)
All of this is a choice. At any moment the Trump admin could take its foot off the gas and ensure that they weren’t arresting people so fast that shackled women get locked into a bathroom with men because they ran out of cells. Unfortunately they do not care about basic rights.

The vast majority of rw reactions I've seen to this have been some version of "oh, look, they stole another one." Either X has become utterly unrepresentative of voter sentiment, or MAGA is now so high on its own supply it thinks Dems are stealing elections in *Texas.* (Or both!)

Racial depolarization is a net good for America and a net very bad for Democrats. Currently, Republicans are freaking out the majority of naturalized citizens that voted for them in 2024, but these voters aren't liberals, they hate Democrats, and they're not shrinking in number.
