Trump released a video tonight promising to "find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity, and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it."

One of the definitive days of this admin imo was the WSJ identifying racist posts from a DOGE staffer - the kind of stuff that would be read out loud to you as HR explains why you're not getting severance - and Vance saying no, we won't let the media cancel people anymore.

Vance's first challenge for 2028 imo is that a lot of voters think "Trump secretly agrees with me, he doesn't mean that thing he said," and Vance does not start with that presumption

Remember the "why won't protesters thank Trump for bringing peace to the Middle East" news cycle? That was fun.
