When it comes to the Supreme Court, what's really at stake? Republicans began remaking the Court long before the Trump era to the point it's no longer practicing law but is just running on vibes. @leahlitman.bsky.social and I discuss! 🎧 pod.fo/e/2d6c6d 📺 www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iBW...

From my mentions this am, it’s clear a lot of people don’t understand that last night 16 democrats voted for a crypto bill from which Trump will directly profit via corruption. Folks have EVERY RIGHT to be mad about this. We aren’t going to get better leaders by sweeping this under the rug.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

MAGA is cruelty disguised as strength, nationalism dressed up as patriotism. All to worship a con man who made people feel seen, not with truth, but with resentment. They chose grievance over grace and the rest of us are left trying to explain how it happened to a world that once believed in us.

KUDLOW: The president suggested over the weekend maybe rebuild and reopen Alcatraz. Put them there, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean somewhere. BONDI: I'm all for that. All for that. And I think it will be a cost savings.

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride. If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.

Trump's 145% tariff on China sparked a surge in imports. But exports didn't follow. Now, West Coast ports are sending ships back empty. This isn't economic revival. It's a retreat. This week's Data and Politics long form newsletter post. www.dataandpolitics.net/empty-ships-...

It’s only getting much play in the trade/transport niche press. But pretty real product shortages beginning in mid-May or so are already locked in. They’re maybe a thousand miles out in the Pacific Ocean. Modern trade takes place in gargantuan container ships. There are very detailed records …

I've only read a little bit about this, but as Josh says--this is already baked in. The ships aren't on their way.

ICE threatening charges against people for asking supposed officers to show their badges is weakness. Not succeeding where they hoped to, left relying on threats that likely won’t go anywhere in court (harassment isn’t nothing, but it’s limited). It’s a sign to resist their abuses more, not less.

Trump's incompetence is everywhere. His regime can’t keep military secrets. It can’t maintain financial stability. It can’t protect children from measles. While we resist Trump’s authoritarianism, we also need to highlight his utter inability to govern America.

House Judiciary's Jamie Raskin: "This is a drastic escalation and dangerous new front in Trump's authoritarian campaign of trying to bully, intimidate, and impeach judges who won't follow his dictates. We must do whatever we can to defend the independent judiciary in America."

The plan to prove that the most incompetent White men are preferable to the most highly qualified Black men has been a smashing success. Between the tariff lunacy tanking the economy, the chain-sawing of the federal govt, & Signal-gate (parts 1 & 2), the supremacy is not looking very supreme.

Authoritarians take over using corruption and existing prejudices and then twist the concept of legality and criminality to suit their purposes. They will use terms like “criminal” or “enemy” against anyone they see as a threat, including you. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/resistance...

What I so desperately wish some of the old guard in the party would understand is that it no longer matters if working with Republicans will gain you more votes than standing up to them will. Now all that matters is which side of history you will be on.
