I thought this line was particularly telling, and not just for New Yorkers: “I never used to be as far left as a Bernie [Sanders], but those are the only people who are looking out for us,” said Anita Hennessey, a 61-year-old child care worker.

every article about politics in every mainstream publication is flat out lying to you if it does not emphasize that our government has been taken over by freaks and lunatics

It's about the information ecosystem. As long as a significant portion of the electorate reliies on propaganda producers like Fox and Newsmax for their information, the United States is going to spiral downward.

The fundamental flaw of broken authoritarian narcissists (the core of the right-wing coalition) is that they view empathy as a finite resource, such that, if you extend it to one group, you can't extend it to another. They see all of life through a lens of scarcity, competition, & selfishness.

The president taking money from a private university and just giving it to government trade schools is the most Maoist thing anyone outside China has ever dreamed of. It's the antithesis of conservatism. William F. Buckley's head would explode the second he heard of it. The GOP is the party of Mao.

We need to start calling Elon Musk and Donald Trump what they are – mass murderers. And what they are projecting is that they’re only just getting started.

The flood of encomiums and morality tales about Elon's turn in Washington cldn't be more predictable, vapid & sickening.

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but doing ketamine, shrooms, and ecstacy on a daily basis while wielding immense political power and a security clearance is bad on multiple levels, and saying so doesn't stigmatize reasonable uses of these drugs or get Musk off the hook for his behavior.

Palmer Luckey's big idea that launched him to prominence has so far generated about negative 60 billion dollars of value for the company that purchased it. It's remarkable that he's seen as a exemplary founder and business genius instead of the architect of a business disaster case study.

In addition to this being appalling from Sen. Gallego, the fact that the senior editor at The Dispatch frames it as coming from a "rising star" Dem and in opposition to "progressives" — as opposed to in opposition to virtually every elected Dem except Suozzi, Moulton, and Newsom — is trash.
