When Donald Trump issued a ban on travelers from some Muslim-majority countries just a week into his presidency, Democratic attorneys general were caught off guard. They hadn’t expected the policy, long promised by Trump on the campaign trail, to materialize so quickly.
Over the course of a few days, they scrambled to sue to stop the executive order, setting off four years of intense hostility between top Democratic lawyers and a Republican White House.

And they are scrutinizing Project 2025, the 900-page blueprint from The Heritage Foundation that lays out a conservative agenda for the next Republican presidency.

It is irritating to see the DIMocRat(s) referred to as Democratic. I do find DIMocRATs to “ick-y” though.

Kaddafi and his deep state henchmen thought they wouldn’t be harmed either until they stood facing the freshly dug trench. One simply cannot predict the future when the train jumps off the track.
