Amazing reporting here on how things have backfired on the capitulating law firms and their enabler. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Back in the day, conservatives and liberals only disagreed about how big government should be and how to make it work more efficiently - not whether the government should exist. I look forward to getting back to that.

"X is racist. The only thing up for debate is whether this is a feature or a bug for those in charge," writes Charlie Warzel.

For a pro-life party, they’re kind of pro-death.

if it takes years, has to be consequences for all these people, and even more for those who gave the orders.

Remember when “death panels” was a Republican talking point against expanding health insurance coverage with Obamacare? Now, cutting coverage and actually sending people to their death is a policy position of the Republican Party.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

More than a thousand people who worked to keep American agriculture free of pests and disease have left the federal workforce in President Trump's massive government downsizing.

Wow. Trump trashes the Federalist Society and calls Leonard Leo a “sleezebag.”

He should RTO and make sure to send the shareholders a list of five things he’s accomplished every week

The Free Speech Administration throwing down arguably the biggest sledgehammer against free thought and association in my lifetime.

“Target Corp., facing financial headwinds and pushback over its diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, has dismissed two executives who have backed DEI efforts, including a chief legal and compliance officer it hired nine months ago.”

More Than a Dozen U.S. Officials Sold Stocks Before Trump’s Tariffs Sent the Market Plunging www.propublica.org/article/us-o...

Trump is hopeless when it comes to Putin - whom he both fears and admires as the Renfield to Putin's Dracula - but he has no effective national security or defense team around him to pick up the slack and actually run anything like an actual foreign policy. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

There have been young douchebros around my entire life. It’s just that until recently there wasn’t an industry telling them that they were entitled to be douchebros without anyone calling them douchebros.

Not reposting the President’s absurd Memorial Day message. We have an immature child running our country—and it reflects poorly on all of us that we reelected him and seemingly accept this behavior from our President. We disgrace our inheritance, especially on Memorial Day.

Over at @theatlantic.com, @leahlitman.bsky.social and I summarize our study of the Trump administration's practice regarding judicial orders, which we term "legalistic noncompliance" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The Memorial Day Message from the President of the United States of America, in memory of those who have given their lives defending America, the Constitution, and the freedoms that we Americans enjoy on this Memorial Day 2025.

Yes, we got a tip when the $TRUMP whales (biggest buyers of his crypto) were going to show up Friday at the White House for their VIP tour and The NYT was there. We had a list with their names. So we knew who they were. But they did not want to chat. I still tried...

As for Democrats, those safety-net cuts are a political layup. Senate Republicans might prevent the worst, but 215 House Republicans are already on record as voting for it.

Justin Sun is a Chinese billionaire who was sued by the Biden SEC in a crypto case. He’s a major investor in Trump’s World Liberty Financial. He also spent $40M+ on $TRUMP coins, earning an invite to dinner with Trump at his Va. golf club on Thurs. He apparently also got a private WH tour.

NEW Federal judges, concerned that President Trump may undermine their security, are considering setting up their own armed security force. Currently, federal judges are protected by U.S. Marshals, who ultimately answer to President Trump.

You will not be able to afford an iPhone. You will own 2 dolls. You will work in a factory. And you will be happy about it. That is actually the MAGA platform right now. What a wild time to be alive.

Our task: To stop Trump from making the United States of America his ultimate bankruptcy, his ultimate failure.

The original sin was failing to send Donald Trump to prison for the rest of his life for mounting a violent coup to overthrow the election of 2020.

The Trumper obsession with Harvard is a cringe-inducing drama around status envy.

J. D. Vance’s well-documented transformation from Never Trumper to Only Trumper raises questions about the authenticity of his convictions. But “few people are capable of conscious, persistent self-betrayal,” George Packer writes for The Atlantic’s July issue. https://theatln.tc/0ubQBsoL

Some days it feels like our country's humiliations are endless.

Arguments in the birthright citizenship case made clear Trump wants nationwide injunctions gone so he can nullify Americans’ constitutional rights more easily. Whatever other issues you might have with them, that’s the bottom line here www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

“Putin may well be ready for some kind of cease-fire agreement," @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. "But if that happens, it won’t be because of Trump’s efforts—and even the president himself seems to know it now.”

BREAKING via Washington Post The Trump administration has agreed to pay nearly $5 million to the family of Ashli Babbitt to settle a wrongful death lawsuit. Babbitt was shot and killed by Capitol Police when she attempted to storm the House Speaker’s Lobby on January 6.

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.
