Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

ICYMI - Quick recap of last night’s SOTU.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

I wrote about the biggest paradox of 21st century governance: that the democratization of information production is killing democracy. Trump’s America is the canary in the coal mine for how badly things can break when voters inhabit different realities from a steady diet of informational sludge.

The media has failed the public on a crucial matter: the derangement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Often he is described in news reports as a vaccine skeptic, when he is far more than that. He is an extreme vaccine opponent.

Posting this again. There are special elections in Virginia right now that need your help. Starting in February there are local and statewide elections in at least 31 states including Supreme Court justices in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Virginia and New Jersey have statewides. Let's go!

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame. You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way. If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.

With Elon Musk, an unelected plutocrat, six weeks from becoming co-President of the United States, many people are just starting to research who he really is—that is, beyond the basics most already know. Or, rather, think they know—as most of those basics are untrue. This thread reveals the truth.

26 year old Luigi Mangione was detained on firearms charges and police say he is also a person of interest in the CEO assassination. He was caught with a ghost gun that uses 9mm bullets, a silencer, a US passport, four fake IDs with names and what police claim is a manifesto.

It is clear from his interview today that Trump is going to expect Bondi and Patel to investigate and prosecute his political opponents. Three questions: How will the media cover? What will pro-democracy leaders and orgs do? Most important: Who will stand up and who will obey?

Donald Trump has not yet taken office. It is going to get worse, much worse. We need to stand up an opposition not for a month or two but for four years or more. To do that, we cannot allow ourselves or our leaders to be too tired. We must insist they have courage or get out of the way.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By denying care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Oh, I want much more than this. I want everything any intelligence agency has on Donald Trump declassified as well as anything the Department of Justice has. Our intelligence community sat on its ass and did nothing to help us with a walking national security threat for 10 years. Let that end now.
