“I'm not comfortable supporting any state that has a hierarchy of citizenship on the basis of religion or anything else. I think that, in the way that we have in this country, equality should be enshrined in every country in the world. That's my belief.” - Zohran Mamdani

Americans under 25 have no idea how anomalous and deranged it is for the news to report obsessively on the persona and psychology of the executive with respect to matters of policy and governance. This is not even remotely normal.

As with Noem, Duffy, Hegseth, Musk, & McMahon, Trumpism rewards officials who evince a complete lack of interest in, and even a hostility to, governing, & convey a boastful and belligerent ignorance about the most basic functions of their duties.

Takes a lot of chutzpah to make a $290 million political donation, assume a powerful position in government, use that power to fire tens of thousands of people and do immeasurable harm to American state capacity, and expect not to have to answer for it afterwards.

Don’t print lies in the newspaper Don’t keep hosting the far right authoritarians who engage in serial performative lying on your TV shows Don’t keep asking “Is the sun going to rise in the east?” when you can simply look outside & observe the direction of the sunrise What is journalism, anyway?

Chris Murphy on the crypto bill: "The problem is the existing version of that bill exempts the president from the ethics requirements. It says it's unethical for me to issue or market a stablecoin, but it's okay for the president to do it. That's not something any Democrat should vote for."

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

Every time I hear people argue that democrats need better messaging I come to the realization that one party is playing by old rules where facts matter and the other has gone all-in on flat out lies, and it works because the media writes more about how the facts aren't messaged well than the lies 🤷‍♂️

The Republican Party decided long ago that lying was a great political tactic, way better than yard signs, door-knocking and robo calls. The GOP realized its lies cost nothing to produce, and right-wing media would happily spread them, also for free.

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

Again, authoritarianism as a component of capitalism is about shifting from a society of relative privilege to one where it becomes normal that people will needlessly die, that to protest or speak out means risking death or imprisonment. This has been building for decades.
