On Saturday, an estimated 7 million Americans showed up in all 50 states yet again to protest the authoritarian moves of the MAGA regime. And Trump responded in the most predictable way: by flooding the zone with shit…
We mean that literally, with that bonkers AI video he posted over the weekend. But there was also the military action at California’s Camp Pendleton, which forced the closure of a section of Interstate 5 for several hours Saturday afternoon (and even so, shrapnel from live ordinance struck a CHP patrol vehicle).
This week, we learned that Trump is demanding $230 million from the government (i.e., we the taxpayers) as compensation for pain and suffering he’s endured from investigations over Russian campaign interference and the search of his Florida home for the classified documents he stole and stored in a Mar-a-Lago bathroom.
And then there’s the gut punch of watching his crew illegally destroy one of the nation’s most enduring symbols - the White House’s East Wing, so he can build a gaudy new ballroom.
Karoli, Aliza, and I did our best to keep track of all of this and more (the shutdown! $40 billion to Argentina! George Santos!)
