got so annoyed at seeing idiots on tiktok and youtube argue about 20th century american party politics that i made a nearly 30 minute video trying to sketch out the history in a nuanced way. the conceit of this video, however, is that it's all from the dome! no notes, just vibes.

New, from me: I am dorky enough to actually read (ok, skim) budgets, and have never seen anything like Trump’s, which has converted a formal and professional document into a propagandistic screed to justify draconian cuts. Lets take a look. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/budgets-as...
