"None of the people the Times spoke with seem to understand that they—personally—are culpable for Carol’s imprisonment. They voted for Trump; he told them he was going to deport 20 million people. Had Kamala Harris won, Carol would not be in jail."

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

You've seen this movie before. 2018: Steel tariffs go up → 1,000 jobs saved in steel (it's a tiny industry) → 75,000 jobs lost elsewhere (steel is used everywhere) Same script. Same cast. Spoiler alert: The ending still sucks.

Trump said he'd deport 20 million people. They voted for him. Now they're unhappy one of their friends is being deported. But they helped do this to her. www.thebulwark.com/p/meet-the-w...

81% of Dunklin County, Missouri voted for mass deportations. Now they are unhappy that one of their own is being deported...but not unhappy at the person doing it (Trump) or the people responsible (themselves for voting for this). @jvl.bsky.social explores. www.thebulwark.com/p/meet-the-w...

The idea that Elon Musk’s time in Washington is over is an obvious farce: Musk’s legacy is still being written, and his culpability is still accumulating. He will do more damage soon.

The thing that makes me angriest is the lack of contrition. These people are directly culpable for their friend being torn from her family. But they pretend that her arrest is an act of God, like a tornado, that just . . . happened. www.thebulwark.com/p/meet-the-w...

WSJ: Trump pledged to bring business back to the U.S., but his company is doing more overseas than ever. Since the 2024 election, the Trump Organization and partners have announced 12 new international projects, far outpacing the two during his first term. So much for “America First.”

If you see this announcement through a prism of politics or partisan ship, you're not recognizing what it is. Joe Walsh is choosing right over wrong, good over bad. More need to do this. If four GOP in the House and four in the Senate did, it would change everything - for the better.

New, from me: The Trump administration is already making it easier for partisan political appointees to fire career civil servants. A new policy will also allow them to politicize who is hired into the civil service. The spoils system returns! 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-politi...

A lot of Trumpers think it's patriotic to block or discourage foreigners from coming here. They don't understand what makes America strong. It isn't native superiority. It's attracting innovative, entrepreneurial people from around the world. By driving those people away, we're weakening America.

In Florida, about 15-20% of homes are uninsured, due to the current impact of climate change. And now the Trump administration has gutted the nation's ability to forecast hurricanes and put in charge of FEMA a man so clueless he didn't realize "hurricane season" is an actual thing. Buckle up.
