Fractional Scarmucci Alert

ZACHARIA IS ON THE WAY OUT ALREADY 👇 Q: Would you have liked to have known that Katie didn't pass the bar? TRUMP: Katie has been treated very badly by the media. Very unfair. I just asked her, is this for you? Katie is off to a start that, the news has been so nasty. Maybe it's not for her

Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."

Impeach.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

really cannot be emphasized enough that the drafters of the birthright clause very much considered cases analogous to undocumented immigrants and *included them too*

The Fourth belongs to all of us. Don't let Trump take that from you. Watch John Adams on HBO. Watch 1776. And remember: You are the heir to that revolution as much as any other American.

I’ve never felt less excited about the 4th. The founding fathers would be horrified by what we have let happen. “The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind.” Thomas Paine

The epitome of outcome-based decision making To him and others, widespread fraud exists (and is "impossible to prove"), so no amount of information will change his mind

RAJU: But what evidence is there to prove the California election is rigged? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it's impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here.

I do think this is the essence of the Trumpism value statement: We are real Americans - you are not. This justifies everything we do.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Yep. Their position is *explicitly* that they can do it and Dems can't -- that's what Trumpism is

A must-listen and the article is a must-read

The New York Times@nytimes.com

The Supreme Court long relied on careful, time-tested procedures to issue decisions. But secret memos by the justices, obtained by The New York Times, show how the court decided to bypass those procedures and create its modern “shadow docket.” See key takeaways: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
