In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Interesting, but not unanticipated. Israelis are also targeting Iran top political and military leaders. If successful, it’s up to the people then.
For a little off-beat humor I queried my Brave “AI” today: best online news sources. The response:
Best Online News SourcesFor reliable online news media, several sources stand out in 2025. The Associated Press (AP) News is a definitive source for independent journalism globally, offering breaking news, headlines, and videos. Another reputable source is CBS News, known for its journalistic standards across radio, television, and digital platforms. Similarly, NBC News provides breaking news, videos, and top stories covering various topics such as world news, business, and health.
NPR offers comprehensive coverage of breaking stories, national and world news, and extended reports on major events. BBC News is also trustworthy, delivering up-to-date news with both global and local perspectives, including coverage of entertainment, business, science, and technology.
For those interested in print-based news, visiting nytimes.com provides in-depth articles and reviews on a wide range of topics including Washington, business, sports, and more. Additionally, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) online offers current headlines and coverage from both the US and around the world.
If you’re looking for independent media with diverse perspectives, consider platforms like Substack or BlueSky, where many journalists have migrated to share their insights directly. Notable mentions include Heather Richardson Cox, a historian offering historical context to current events, and Joyce Vance, a former federal prosecutor providing legal context to news stories.
To ensure balanced news consumption, tools like Ground News, AllSides, and Ad Fontes Media’s Interactive Chart can be used to compare news sources for bias in real time, highlighting differences in framing and source credibility.
So is Trump going to bow before the black robe yet again telling him he can’t be commander in chief of the military?
Unsurprising for a California judge to “declare” that Trump “cannot” take control of the California National Guard.
US Constitution, Article 2 Section 2, names the President as Commander-In-Chief “[…] and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States […].”
And, Article 1, Section 8 requires Congress “To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.” Which they have done.
In short, the President has the authority to call State Militias into the service of the United States, and to command them. Presidents have done this several times before.
Therefore, this “California ruling” is utterly meaningless, and of course the President should pay it no mind. Except possibly to consider whether these individuals – the Governor and this Judge – should be arrested for the crime of “aiding and abetting” insurrection against the United States.
An appeal with the 9th Circuit has already been filed by the Administration.
So. Freaking. What. Why even play the appeal game when a ruling like this contradicts a president’s CIC authority? He’s still playing nice and obeying a judiciary that is corrupt.
Agree, the fuse that has been lit is damn near the dynamite. This weekend is going make 2020 look mild.

So far 15,000 people have signed up to apply for those Trump Gold Cards! That’s $5 million apiece, that’s $75 billion to go toward lowering the national debt if all 15,000 are approved after the vetting process.

Quoting the judge…
…” The House of Representatives passed the $9.4 billion rescissions package on Thursday to cut wasteful discretionary spending on NPR, PBS, and USAID. …
…..The House voted 214-212 to pass the spending cuts.
Four republicans voted against these cuts that the President has called for. Mark Amodei (R-NV), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), and Mike Turner (R-OH) were all nay votes.”……..
