This is horrific. He just goes on and on about his glee at the utter deconstruction of the administrative state. Only the vaguest impressions of anything to replace it with. It's so clear that the only goal here is killng as many people in America as possible. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

This really says everything about the current political environment. (It's not like I'm immune to it, no human is? But at least I try to question and look for the evidence, the stats.) (It must be nice tho, to have someone you trust enough that whatever they tell you, you faithfully believe it.)

Yes!! This is the thing I don't know how to combat. But we have to figure it out.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

The challenge of any infrastructure funding. You only notice infrastructure when it's not working. Otherwise it's invisible, so you can forget it's doing anything at all.

It’s wild that everyone who wants America to be “run as a business” seems to want lower taxes. That’s not what a business would do if it had a monopoly and the violence of the government behind it to set whatever price it wanted. A business would send taxes through the roof.

We need to start calling the Republicans the pro-death party.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, *to us*

Everyone is wrong about why Dem "messaging" sucks. It's not that it's not "simple" enough, or that it's not focused enough on this or that. It's that they are not engaging in the politics of the day. They're floating above it. They don't respond to things, and when they do respond, it's boilerplate.

"Throughout Western history, the wealthiest have been viewed as potentially harmful & have attempted to allay this sentiment by using their riches to support society in times of crises like plagues, famines & wars. This symbiotic relationship no longer exists." www.nytimes.com/2023/11/19/o...

Less a news cycle, more the news equivalent of that Battlestar Galactica episode where the Cylons attack every 33 minutes
