The Steady State

@thesteadystate.org

Trump seems to think the First Amendment only applies when he likes what he hears. But the whole point of free speech and a free press is to protect criticism, dissent, and uncomfortable truths from government retaliation.

More from The Steady State

Trump continues to upend the world order. For decades, U.S. Taiwan policy has been strategic ambiguity. But after the China summit, he’s publicly made that ambiguity less ambiguous, and not in Taiwan’s favor.

Courts cannot become “empty fronts” for people misusing the legal system. If justice becomes fraud, “going through the motions without content and without meaning,” then the rule of law itself starts to collapse.

Trump’s threat against Oman shows how casually he treats U.S. power, allies, and global stability.

The Steady State

Stephen Miller claims stopping fraud alone can balance the budget, but someone ought to ask for his math. Projected FY 2026 deficit: $1.9 trillion. GAO high-end annual fraud estimate, based on FY 2018–2022 data: $521 billion. That still leaves well over $1 trillion unpaid.

The $100 million figure was not “made up.” It was a reported estimate of potential liability if Trump lost a long-running IRS audit fight.

The question is not “Can institutions handle Trump?” We already saw the answer: only barely, and only because some people inside the room resisted him. Dr. Gartner raises the point that those people are gone.

The Steady State

Trump commuted Lawrence Duran’s 50-year sentence in a $205 million Medicare fraud case, reducing it to time served with no further fines, restitution, probation, or conditions. If health care fraud matters, start with the fraudsters Trump chose to spare.

A real disclosure process narrows uncertainty. A propaganda operation expands it. That is how you tell the difference. Transparency produces evidence, while authoritarian rhetoric produces enemies.

The Steady State

The MoCA is a screening tool for cognitive decline, not an IQ test. The fact that Trump keeps bragging about “acing” it as proof of brilliance should itself be disqualifying. Authoritarianism thrives on confusing basic competence with exceptional greatness.

The CIA’s job is intelligence, not helping a president’s media ecosystem manufacture revenge narratives against former officials and political opponents.

The SAVE America Act forces states to submit their voter rolls to a DHS program that has a history of flagging eligible U.S. citizens for removal with little to no explanation. You may not realize your state removed you until election day. And to reregister, you'll need documents you may not have.

You can play it safe, chase what’s “supposed” to work, follow the crowd… and still lose. So the real question becomes: if failure is always a possibility, why not pursue something that actually matters to you #Mindset #DoWhatYouLove #TakeTheRisk #GrowthMentality

Day 492 - Cutting gasoline/energy prices 50% by 19 JAN 2026 ? Just another broken promise. This video shows trump making that promise on 29 September 2024 at a campaign rally in Erie Pennsylvania. He also promised to NOT allow cuts to Medicaid/Medicare, and to lower grocery prices on day 1. Nope

use your imagination that ballroom he just has to have because Marlargo isn’t enough it’s not about the ballroom. It’s about the Epstein’s Island bunker. He’s building underneath because anything Hitler had Trump has to have as well. He won’t even use any of his stolen money to pay his hit squad.

🔵 Once seen as an agenda pushed onto Africa from outside, green policies are now clearly essential for African economies themselves - from cutting emissions to making borders and transport chains more resilient.
