one thing about the coverage of J6 and how its settled into our public memory is that is basically exclusively focuses on the mob and the attack on congress, which was a crime in and of itself but honestly pales in comparison to the coordinated attempt to abrogate the constitution that was happening

NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple. These are the kind of stories that used to end political careers. Now the subjects of the stories just hold up a middle finger and keep plowing ahead.

people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

Today Trump's main legislative initiative died in committee, his main domestic policy initiative was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, & his economic shenanigans got the whole country's credit downgraded. Let's talk about what's important: Biden Old

If a Democratic president were openly & repeatedly saying that neither the 14th nor the 22nd amendment constrained him, the country would grind to a halt, the NYT & WaPo would have 96-point font front page headline articles, & the Senate impeachment trial would already be underway.

.0018% odds that a Social Security claim is “likely fraudulent.” We literally have a better chance of getting hit by an asteroid. So why are Republicans letting Trump, Musk, and DOGE destroy Social Security over it?

The plaque honoring the heroes of January 6 is finished, but the GOP refuses to hang it in the Capitol. Not one Republican has offered a reason why. If they can’t respect the officers who defended our democracy, the very least they can do is respect the law.

The GOP's biggest donor is the greatest promoter of Nazism since Hitler. Normalize saying this out loud.

I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal. I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

Excited for the hawk-eyed political press, newly charged with protecting the public from mentally declining elderly presidents, to drill down on why the current president thinks the word “groceries” is unusual enough to repeatedly comment on

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

Reminder: when Sean Duffy was a congressman, he and other Republicans voted against upgrading air traffic control systems. Now, he’s trying to blame those systems for Newark airport’s outages – while claiming DOGE’s cuts of critical support staff at the FAA had nothing to do with it. Hello?

1/ This has been bugging me for more than 24 hours. It's reasonable on the surface, but from the jump just feels wrong & I couldn't explain why. But the pieces finally fell into place, and I'm now in the camp that the take is not just wrong completely indefensible. Roundabout explanation in 🧵.

Members of an immigrant family in Worcester, Massachusetts were targeted, terrorized, and seized by ICE agents this week. The father was taken into custody by ICE on Wednesday, and agents returned to the family’s home Thursday to execute an arrest of the mother — without a warrant. Worcester…

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

Any democrat that thinks they shouldn’t be messaging on this stuff because immigration is trump’s strongest issue is a moron. This stuff is repellant to normies. Make his “strength” a weakness

Ten years of Trump going on TV and just fucking saying whatever, and still nothing like an industry set of best practices to deal with it. Put someone on the set with a laptop to look stuff up, pause the interview, whatever. He'd walk off but so what. Amazing to still be at "agree to disagree."

The Trump admin's record of direct interventions in elections: —JD Vance & Elon tried to boost the far-right in Germany. Other parties doubled down on a strong barrier to it. —Elon broke all records in Wisconsin. GOP lost big. —Trump's arrival & repeat boost of Tories... caused a Tory collapse.

1) This bullshit is costing us a ridiculous amount of money. 2) It never was about "cutting costs;" it was always about control. …I said "THIS WAS ALWAYS ABOUT USING THE RHETORIC OF EFFICIENCY & BUDGET TO GAIN ACCESS & LAY CLAIM TO SENSITIVE DATA & WEAPONIZE IT AGAINST PEOPLE THEY DON'T LIKE."

1. I want to suggest today that what we are seeing on Wall Street and in markets around the world is the sudden realization that the president is mentally unstable – that he has dementia, probably – and as a result of that realization, investors no longer have any faith in Donald Trump.
