DEMOCRATS! Throwing Joe Biden under the bus won’t help you. •It won’t win over the base. •It won’t boost your approval. •It won’t bring back voters who sat out 2024. •It won’t fix 2026. It makes you look petty while Trump is burning it all down. REPAIR AND BUILD THE PARTY!

I appreciate when are sleepy orange boy is on foreign trips because they take a ton out of him and the level of insanity goes down dramatically.

Optimistic take of the night: don't listen to people who tell you that even when Trump is gone, his damage will never be fixed in our lifetimes. That's nonsense. Societies, nations, the whole world, have come back from worse much faster and with less resources to help them do it than we'll have.

Paul Clement electing to join a criminal defense team directly against ICE overreach against the judiciary is such a clear "You have lost FedSoc and the judiciary, sir." that.. I mean, I don't know what else could be clearer. DOJ has literally united the entire legal profession against them.

Just before 1 a.m., #SCOTUS stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation with a (remarkable) ruling that suggests, among other things, that a majority of the justices is tiring of the Trump administration’s Calvinball. For more, see the latest “One First”: www.stevevladeck.com/p/144-the-su...

I will forever hold a grudge for the people who did Joe Biden dirty.

After looking at spreadsheets and SEC filings all day as Tesla nuked 15%, I've identified the price points where Elon is likely to feel pain. If he's somehow dumber than we think, we're already in his "uh oh" range. www.splinter.com/tesla-is-cra...

A Finnish ad for Kia. The slogan roughly translates to “O these days of our Lives”. The poetic word for life, “elo,” is in genetive case and capitalized. Underneath (freely translated): “If you are having second thoughts about driving an American EV, come see our beautiful cars for a new era.”

Prediction: This remark by President Trump will appear in plaintiffs' court filings that go to the heart of Appointment Clause challenge to Elon Musk. Trump on cabinet members: "If they don't cut, then Elon will do the cutting." That is THE key to Supreme Court's "significant authority" test.

Notable that they're dropping a new ratfuck article right when the fact that Trump's tariff faceplants are crashing the economy is starting to break through.

"According to one person familiar with the meeting, Musk acknowledged that DOGE had made some missteps......Trump stressed that he wants to keep good people in government and not eject capable federal workers en masse, according to one of the officials." Okay, yeah, Elon's days are numbered.

it's interesting how 94% of Dems do a thing but the party is somehow "represented" by that 6% who didn't

My three-year-old was reading the Washington Post when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why was the nice orange man so mad at the man in the military suit?" And when I told her "Because Trump is a man baby who is sending the whole world down the shitter," she started crying.

Emphasizing again that anyone who responds to "that's illegal" with some variant of "lol all law is meaningless you're a sucker for thinking that matters" is actively doing PR for Trump and helping him. Nihilism about the law is the best way to make sure that the rule of law dies a quicker death.

It didn't take down the bill tonight but seems clear to me that Jeffries and Clark held back votes of two members (Pettersen and Mullin) with well publicized absences to sneak them in at the end. A clever, heads-up move that could've worked and even in loss will make Johnson think twice next time

Saw a cybertruck and my son asked why Elon Musk would think that looked good and I said "remember that drug they gave you at the hospital when you broke your arm, and you got scared and said everyone had 4 eyes? he takes that all the time"

democracy in michigan and wisconsin was crushed to the point of near-irreversibility until 2020 -- vastly worse than what trump seems likely to be able to do before 2028 -- and we fought back, inch by inch, until we took it back, despite Republicans having both structural advantages and real support

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...
