BEWARE THE POWER OF UNTRAMMELED GOVERNMENT: Tulsi Exposes a Terrifying Biden-Era Program That Was Meant To Be Secret.

THAT’S NOT THE NARRATIVE: Hanging in There: Trump Hits Record High Approval Rating Amid Tariff Turmoil.

IS SANITY COMPLETELY GONE FROM DEMOCRATS? Judging by events of the last couple of weeks, it’s easy to conclude that sanity has departed the Democratic Party entirely.

Even James Carville — he who confidently predicted a Kamela win over Donald Trump last November — favors absurdities like Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s (D-MD.) El Salvador junket on behalf of an MS-13 terrorist.

The folks at Issues & Insights point to a new survey that graphically helps explain why things are going downhill fast for Democrats, despite the presence of a few remaining voices of something approximating political sanity:

“But this isn’t the 1990s, and there is no interest or appetite among Democrats in reviving Bill Clinton’s ‘New Democrat’ corpse. The party is now irretrievably in the grip of those toxic, party-sinking radical leftists. In the Survey USA poll, there wasn’t a single demographic group where even a plurality felt the party should be more moderate.

“More than half of young, urban, college-educated, well-paid whites – the very people who make up the “elite circles” and will never venture into “real communities” – want the party to move further to the left.”

In other words, the chickens are coming home to roost after multiple generations of children being indoctrinated in the public education system.

THE TRUTH HURTS: Leftists Demanded Police Body Cams. Now They Regret It.

COME SEE THE VIOLENCE INHERENT IN THE LEFTISM: Yes, Some of Them Are Considering Killing You. A Substack Says So.

THEY’VE DESCENDED INTO SELF-PARODY: Bernie Sanders Spent $221K on Private Jets Amid ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ Tour: Vermont socialist has spent millions on private jet travel over the years.

Well, not really “descended.” They’re pretty much in the same place they’ve always been.

CORN, POPPED: SCOTUS Agrees to Hear Challenge on Birthright Citizenship.

What does this mean? It means that at least four of the justices want to debate this case now, rather than later. But are they debating the merits of the order, or the reach of the stays?

Today’s cert and consolidation doesn’t offer any direct clues, as usual. Occasionally, the court will issue an order defining the scope of its review, but this order contains no such limitation. It appears that the Trump administration wants to challenge district courts in their habit these days of applying stays and injunctions nationally or at least more broadly than the parties involved in these disputes. But that doesn’t mean that the Supreme Court has to limit itself to those issues; they have plenary jurisdiction over cases in the federal judiciary and can decide to hear all issues at hand if four or more justices desire. (It takes four justices to approve the writ of certiorari necessary to hear an appeal.)

ABC News reports that this was the argument that the Trump administration put before the court.

WHEN YOU LOSE AN ARGUMENT TO SEAN HANNITY …  Fox News Host Backs Taylor Lorenz Into a Corner After Recent Comments Defending Luigi Mangione.

GABBARD DIDN’T SO MUCH CROSS OVER TO THE RIGHT AS SHE WAS REPULSED BY THE LEFT:  You Weren’t Supposed to Know About This Biden-Era Program – But Tulsi Gabbard Just Blew it Wide Open.

BEHOLD! I AM TRUMP, DESTROYER OF NARRATIVES:  Trump Team Performed a Masterclass in Obliterating This Narrative About the Deported Illegal Alien.

IT REMINDED ME OF THEIR ATTENTION PAID CINDY SHEEHAN AFTER OBAMA WAS ELECTED:  The Liberal Media Reaction to Patty Morin’s Appearance at the WH Was Absolutely Disgraceful.

SET MY PEOPLE FREE:  An American government program to get to the Moon is simply not necessary; If we let them Americans will do it on their own.

IF IT NEEDS TAX CREDITS TO SURVIVE, IT’S NOT VIABLE:  Loss of federal tax credits could doom green energy projects.

ONE CAN HOPE:   A Depleted Hamas Is So Low on Cash That It Can’t Pay Its Fighters.

A KILLER AP OR A MASSIVE WASTE OF MONEY?  AI = Actively Incinerating Cash?

ALWAYS WAS:  Reality is the Cure.

PUBLIC EDUCATION IS NOT A RIGHT. AND IT NEVER WAS A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT. AS FOR “ILLEGALS PAY TAXES”… DO THEY REALLY?  ALL OF THEM? MOST OF THEM? SOME OF THEM? WHO KNOWS?  Tennessee’s GOP leads the fight to deny public education to children without documents.

PRESUMABLY ON A PILE OF MONEY, SURE THAT NO HUMAN CAN PUNISH THEM: How do the lawyers defending Hamas sleep at night?  A British law firm is regurgitating the terrorists’ vile propaganda.

As it happens, I sleep well too. I believe in the mills of G-d, you see.  They grind slow, but they grind exceedingly fine.

I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT THERE LAWDOG SAID. ALL OF IT:  Let me check my stock of Giveadamn … Nope, fresh out.
