When facts become seditious, it’s time to hit the panic button
Donald Trump is killing free speech, and the press is paralyzed

Dear Leader had another open Cabinet meeting on Wednesday. For two hours, Donald Trump sat with his loyal sycophants and revelled in their professed unconditional love and appreciation.
Pam Bondi told Donald Trump no one has ever done anything better in the history of mankind, or something like that. So after listening to people like Pete Hegseth, who probably texted the entire meeting to his family and a reporter from the Atlantic on his Signal app, you’d have thought Trump was once again shooting rainbows out of his nether regions while handing out gold nuggets like candy to an adoring populace.
According to members of the Cabinet, and others including Elon Trump, or Donald Musk, who literally wore two hats on his head to celebrate the momentous occasion, the president has brought the world to the brink of Nirvana. Trump had placed promotional hats on the table for his Cabinet members (no word as to whether he sold those hats at discount prices, or just gave them away) but only Musk picked up the “Gulf of America” hat and put it over his black Doge hat. “Elon, I love the double hat,” President Trump said to him. Of course he did.
It was too much to take for those of us who had to watch this broken circus. Even Ann Coulter, who’s always making a bid to be relevant, criticized him, calling the meeting “Kim Jong Il-style tributes.”
