<\/a><\/p>\nMary Geddry: “Nobody\u2019s Been Treated Worse Than Me”<\/a><\/h2>\nTrump\u2019s greatest-hits tour continues, now with canonizations, tariffs, and off-shore executions.<\/p>\n
Good morning! It was only a matter of time before Donald Trump\u2019s theology of grievance met the cold letter of the Constitution. Two leading conservative scholars, William Baude and Michael Stokes Paulsen, card-carrying members of the Federalist Society and lifelong originalists, have published a 126-page law-review treatise arguing that Trump is constitutionally disqualified from holding office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. The article, \u201cThe Sweep and Force of Section Three<\/em>,\u201d lays out what they call an \u201cinescapable conclusion\u201d: that Trump\u2019s attempt to overturn the 2020 election and his incitement of January 6 amount to \u201cinsurrection or rebellion.\u201d<\/p>\nFor once, Trump\u2019s favorite legal scholars have turned their powdered-wig logic against him. The authors insist Section 3 is self-executing, no new statute, no congressional vote required, meaning Trump\u2019s eligibility to serve again isn\u2019t a political question, it\u2019s a matter of constitutional hygiene. Or, as Baude and Paulsen put it, \u201cThe case for disqualification is strong, and the evidence is abundant<\/em>.\u201d Their conclusion landed like a heretical gospel in the Church of Trump, where loyalty is salvation and law is an inconvenience.<\/p>\nTrump, naturally, spent the day proving their point.

Heather Cox Richardson: Letters from an American – October 15, 2025<\/a><\/h2>\nToday the Supreme Court heard arguments in the case of Louisiana v. Callais<\/em> and Robinson v. Callais<\/em>, which together challenge a federal court decision outlawing a racial gerrymander in the state of Louisiana. At stake is Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which declares: \u201cNo voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure shall be imposed or applied by any State or political subdivision to deny or abridge the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color.\u201d
\n…<\/p>\nTrump promised during the 2024 campaign that he was \u201cnot going to start a war,\u201d and promised \u201cto stop the wars.\u201d He has campaigned heavily to win a Nobel Peace Prize, nonsensically claiming to have stopped at least seven or eight wars. But the wars in Ukraine and Gaza have gotten hotter during his administration, and Barnes and Pager note that the U.S. military is also building up its resources in the region near Venezuela. The Pentagon has deployed 10,000 troops to the area, stationing most of them on bases in Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Navy has sent eight warships and a submarine.<\/p>\n
This buildup comes as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has demanded that media outlets report only information authorized by department officials or lose their press credentials. All but a single far-right opinion network refused, leaving the department\u2019s actions unscrutinized by the excellent journalists who had been covering the Pentagon. The Pentagon Press Association today said its members were \u201cstill committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake,\u201d it said, \u201ctoday, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.\u201d
