Eventually we’re going to look back at this like we view lobotomies or bloodletting.

Purges of FBI and IC, gutting of DOJ, prosecutions of political opponents, assaults on independent institutions, expansion of ICE with fascist-adjacent recruiting messages, firing of general officers—but nothing to see here. Let’s not be alarmist. Also what about Hunter’s laptop.

It took six months for a Trump official to be politely forced by a journalist to admit live on air what everyone - including every economist - knows to be true (but which Trump keeps lying about): tariffs are paid in the US by US importers. What an indictment of our media.

No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen Trump’s not planning to leave — he’s turned the White House into Mar-a-Lago 2.0. What was once a beacon of democracy is now a cesspool of corruption, greed, and lawlessness. The worst part? The subhuman in charge is a pedophile. Let that sink in. Then ask yourself how we got

This, of course, comes after Tim Cook personally donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund. Since then Apple has received tariff exemptions. We're witnessing blatant crony capitalism.

FBI Agents Association statement: The FBI Agents Association (FBIAA) is deeply concerned by reports that FBI Special Agents—case agents and senior leaders alike—are going to be summarily fired without due process for doing their jobs investigating potential federal crimes.

A genuinely good part of the old Republican aesthetic is how it sought to play down wealth, an impulse born from Protestant values. You can see this in how President George HW Bush both dressed and decorated his living spaces, including his time at the Oval Office.

Gross and tacky

Welp

🧵Right-wing extremists like Libs of Tiktok and Charlie Kirk totally concocted the Sydney Sweeney "outrage." The supposed left-wing outrage at Sweeney never happened. Republicans made it up. Republicans have been inventing people to rage against for decades…

This whole “Trump/census/mid-decade redistricting/count citizens only” bullshit is just the latest example of this basic truism: You cannot support Trump AND support the Constitution. You cannot support both. The Constitution makes clear (Article 1) that Congress, not the

Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.

Not good

This is the US regional representative urging on the worst actors in bibi’s govt

Wow. It’s actually happening. So long America, it’s been good to know ya…

Tell me one more time about the Russia hoax

We are selling our souls and minds for next to nothing
