I know it's pointless to spotlight the hypocrisy of this administration, as they are utterly without either consistency or shame, but I can't help myself.

Our only convicted felon to ever serve as President wants to arrest a state governor of the opposition party just for being a member of the opposition party. Seems bad! This is probably Jake Tapper's queue to pivot to how Biden is old.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

A whole lot of the political fights on here seem to be based on a lot of people's thinking "I'm going to assume that the median voter thinks exactly as I do, and I am going to be mad at whoever points out that this is not true."

I feel like Hegseth is gonna be an example in leadership textbooks for years. I mean, not an example of how to lead or what to do, but he'll make it in there.

It’s almost like someone in a position of great power and influence has encouraged Americans to think of the press as “the enemy of the people.”

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

America has been flung into a constitutional crisis in the most massive and fundamental way imaginable, ruled by a regime which is not merely doing unconstitutional things but is anti-constitutional at its very core. @andycraig.bsky.social

I would very much like Elon to be punished, but I don't think it's great that the press is largely normalizing the idea that POTUS can use the levers of government to go after his enemies.

There’s no salvaging this agency. This stuff doesn’t happen unless the agency culture and personnel have utterly rotted into a fascist heap.

Not knowing where you end and someone else begins is a classic feature of narcissistic personality disorder

This may get worse but also more hilarious
