This edition is the complete daily record. Reports remain separate so readers can see each claim, source set, correction, and update without one article being mislabeled as the entire edition.
The through line on March 27 was simple: Trump keeps acting as if every restraint is an outrage and every consequence is an attack, even when the record says the problem started with him. That may thrill the base, but it also keeps feeding judges, prosecutors, and voters a steady drip of fresh evidence that the chaos is not incidental. It is the product.
