First GOP governor candidate is election denier Scott Bottoms. Let us be so lucky that the GOP nominates him. The jokes write themselves.
Compare what they really care about:

The first two examples are broken in section and subsection contain specific legal authority and action. The third example is BS so they didn't invest time in fleshing it out.
lemme know when anything about Trump becomes "massive success."
pick your Trump promise, and mark where we are today and where we are in a year. I suspect this will be a slightly more professional-looking Sad!-ministration and I hope there won't be a repeat of the pandemic to challenge the federal government's competency, but if there is an overall measure on various Trump moves, I don't expect many "successes."
Here's one "tracking" option: the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget is launching the 2025 Debt Thermometer tracking the ten-year costs or savings associated with executive actions and legislation adopted by policymakers this year.

If You’re Feeling Overwhelmed, That’s Deliberate
Trump kills Biden Program to cap Prescription costs, make disease therapy available to Medicare recipients
This one surprises me as it will quickly bite him in the ass. His voters see this monthly.
I remember reading about someone relatively high up in the Clinton or G.W. Bush administration. The said for the first 6 months their reflexive action was to do the oppisate of what the previous administration did. It took them that long to realize often the previous administration had put together something reasonable.
Can totally see Trump undoing anything Biden did just because Biden did it.
It's been 24 hours and the Russian "special military operation" in the Ukraine continues…did I miss a "bigly" ceasefire announcement? A post on Pravda Social?
Meanness is the point..
Yep. Picking on the most vulnerable, just because he can: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/01/donald-trump-signs-executive-order-rolling-back-many-transgender-rights-protections/
Today's post is about Colorado's energy plan. A couple of things I want to note:
BirthRight Citizenship and Executive Orders. Josh Marshall at TPM:
Look at your birth certificate. Does it identify one of your parents as an American citizen? If not, how do we know you are a citizen?
I found a link for the entire column if, like me, you're not a paid subscriber: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/day-two/sharetoken/f54eff41-7e44-4f39-958e-3c6bf5f4256d
For grins that all American gal, the one that adds a physical dimension to Beetlejuice, has decided to give another personal guided tour of the Capitol to the traitors being pardoned by the orange idiot. The BoeBoe is proving that the I.Q. bell curve is not just MENSA on one side, it also has the cohort that is the opposite of MENSA.
ASNEM? I guess there could be worse labels.
One anagram could be SEMAN
Mensa is so smart they named their magazine originally the latin word for mind and ended up on a government watchlist for pornography.
Not at all an expert on these things, but doesn’t it seem just a tad bit early to be mapping out the next insurrectionist attack on Congress? Though I suppose it’s not like Gropebert’s got anything more important than being a disgrace, like maybe representing her new district, on her calendar.
It kinda looks like the Trump/ Musk bromance may be in trouble.
