This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

DOGE is not about waste and fraud. This is about gutting government services without any evaluation of their need. Americans have decided to have and fund an effective National Park Service. Trump and Musk are trampling on democracy to do whatever the hell they want.

It’s just very clear in hindsight that Trump is a complete nonentity, diminished by age and trauma and personal cowardice, and Musk saw that and decided if he got him elected he could be in charge

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that refraining from provoking the authoritarian is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Really wild how people continue to act like RFK Jr.’s problem is his remote history of heroin addiction in sustained recovery and not the fact that he’s a sociopathic, science denying, con artist, who wants kids to die so he can make a buck, which has nothing to do with him using heroin decades ago.

I think people disliked your article because its core argument is asinine! We're not upset about the mechanism by which Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico,we're upset because it is unilateral, absurd & racist. Authoritarians often use legal means for nefarious ends, we all know this. Why don't you?

I mean, the money started to go to tax cuts for the rich under Reagan, we stopped that very briefly under Clinton, then the rich started stealing it all again. This isn't a secret.

Dear pretty much everyone in the legacy media, Stop calling it “Trump’s plan to cut federal spending.” That sounds like some fiscally responsible nips and tucks. You know that is not what’s happening. Instead, try “Trump’s plan to dismantle civil government.” That’s what’s happening.
