Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

Conservatives don't think, but most of the impulse behind anti-trans sentiment is "I should be able to discriminate against people I think are ugly". Transgender to them is just a flavor of "ugly", broken, wrong. This is why it's "obvious" to them who should be subject to gender policing. (Thread:)

Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who attempted to overthrow our government via a violent insurrection at our nation’s Capitol. The administration agreeing to pay her family $5 million of taxpayer money is disgraceful.

This is fucking unbelivable. Instead of bringing his own interpreter, Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff broke long-standing protocol and inadvertently used a Kremlin spy as an interpreter for negotiations with Putin. The Trump regime's level of incompetence is dangerous. 😳👇

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

at a very basic level the bargain of working for the government was “we will not pay you as much as the private sector but you will have job security and a stable career with good retirement benefits” that is clearly no longer something we can promise so the price just went up

Here’s the long-missing explanation about what ties together university defunding, the kidnapping of students, and definition of “antisemitism” that consists of “opposing genocide of Palestinians”: this is all a Heritage Foundation plan, Project Esther.

This is symptomatic of a major epistemological problem, IMO. Yes, they were cowards. But their cowardice came from the knowledge that much of the public is in the thrall of delusional psychopaths with direct lines to their followers' brains. We're in a connection-to-reality crisis.

To be clear, if this bill passes, it will end all scientific research & medical training in the US. It will close hospitals. It will be economically devastating. Millions will lose their jobs. Call your representatives & tell them to vote fuck no on 15% IDC rates & the rest of this horror show.

This one is largely on Democrats. They could easily make Stephen Miller the face of the administration — emphasizing how out of control Trump is and how far right the actual policies are, prompting the media to follow their lead — but they’re largely giving him a pass. It’s bizarre.
