Dear White House Press Corps...

Do not travel with Trump or Musk.

I realize that it is prestigious to be invited along when they go places, but think of your own safety first.

Same advice to Fox News, Newsmax and OAN. Despite the affection you feel for your heroes and your delight in covering them, you should make your own travel arrangements.

He's a peculiarly jolly geek who wants to check me for a hernia.

Not "may I check you?"

No. He's unbuckled my belt, taken everything down, and is now feeling around for dysfunction.

If I come home to find a vandal tearing down my house

what am I justified in doing?

He declared in advance that he was going to come tear down my house.

I thought I would be geared up to stop him, but he was a little vague about the date.

And, to be honest, I wasn’t sure what I would be allowed to do.

The police say it's a private matter and they cannot become involved.

What am I justified in doing to stop this? It is happening RIGHT NOW.

Are the people installed in acting capacities more normal?

While we are busy trying to expose Trump's nominees as kooks and crackpots, there are already people he has installed in acting capacities who are doing these jobs.

What is known about these "interim" appointees? Are they kooks and crackpots too?

Is there a civilian federal employee called Food Taster?

And is that job under the Secret Service?

The TikTok ban seems so obviously a bill of attainder

that I'm surprised it wasn't argued as unconstitutional on that basis.

Were they so confident in their first amendment argument that they carelessly neglected to bolster it?

Donate your lots and combine your resources.

Adjacent lot owners can form joint ventures to construct standardized multi-family structures to replace their destroyed houses faster and more affordably.

Is this asking for trouble? Can previously friendly neighbors cooperate as joint venturers in a multi-family replacement structure and not turn against each other in the course and realization of such a project?

Is the Biden Presidential Library

an appropriate place to keep the Jack Smith files for permanent safekeeping?
