If you go to the Colorado Capitol, you’ll see an empty space on a wall where a portrait of President Donald Trump once hung. That space should remain empty.

DAVIS: The Constitution Won’t Save You
March 15, 2025 at approximately 11:10 PM. That’s when the United States entered a constitutional crisis which the separation of powers laid out by the nation’s founding fathers did not prevent and does not provide a pathway out of. It took just 54 days of the second Trump administration to reach this point.

DAVIS: The Seven Mountains Mandate is the Biggest Story the Media is Missing
I do not envy the mainstream press at this moment. With multiple unthinkable things happening on a weekly basis, the task of triaging and prioritizing stories which could each dominate multiple news cycles in calmer times cannot be easy.

DAVIS: The American Autocoup
I have long been skeptical of the merits of running around screaming that the sky is falling. If the sky were really falling – I assumed – everyone would notice and behave accordingly. The last two weeks have challenged that assumption, though. In a situation where the sky really does appear to be falling, millions of people are working desperately to convince themselves otherwise.

The idea, as Bannon conceived it, was to unleash a firehose of disinformation, scandal, and intrigue at such an astonishing rate that neither the public nor the media would be able to remain focused on a single topic or transgression for long. Unfortunately, the first week of the second Trump administration was a masterclass in it: the Nazi salute, the talk of annexing Greenland, the “Gulf of America.”

DAVIS: Elon, Nazis, and the Death of the Gotcha
Elon Musk is a cretin. Let’s get that out of the way up front. The world’s richest man is a purveyor of racist conspiracism, has helped turn the internet into an extremist cesspool, and is, according to at least one of his children, a terrible father. But is he a Nazi? Sure! At least in the colloquial sense in which the term has been employed in the last few decades to mean a supporter or apparatchik of authoritarian far-right political movements.

DAVIS: Why the Media Mostly Ignored the Tesla Bomber’s Shockingly Mainstream Manifesto
On New Year’s Day, a Tesla Cybertruck pulled up to the entrance of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, where the driver triggered a device consisting of fuel canisters and fireworks, detonating the vehicle. He claimed no lives but his own, whether or not he intended to.

‘Pro-family’ groups dislike transgender ‘cult’ but like Melania’s parenting advice
Politically conservative “pro-family” groups ended 2024 by calling to stamp out the “transgender cult,” opposing constitutional rights for Satanists, promoting Melania Trump’s parenting advice, warning against sympathy for immigrants, and celebrating Donald Trump’s second election as a source of spiritual revival.
