Dictator wannabe asking you to buy a personal spying device from him instead of established carriers. Huh. That it it’s his personal brand, not the state is just the cherry on top. So it’s authoritarianism and in-your-face grift all in a neat little uniquely American package.

So far Social Security’s core functions — like sending monthly checks to 74 million Americans — have remained largely intact. But under pressure from Musk’s team, nearly half of the Social Security Agency’s 140 senior executives, and thousands of employees overall, have taken buyouts or retired.

Trump appears eager to create optics that support his claim that public dissent constitutes an existential threat to the nation. He also apparently seeks to get the American public used to seeing our armed forces in a new and sinister light.

Trumism proceeds by the successive breaking of taboos. Each time a new one is broken, the previous one is normalized. The cuffing of Padilla was a red-line moment. And yet: There’s plenty of reason to worry that in four months, we’ll look back on it as a moment of comparative innocence.

Especially in the age of MAGA 2.0, DOGE and the big policy bill, school vouchers look less like an earnest effort at school reform than like one part of a broader crusade, which continues after Musk — the war on the entire idea of public goods.

If you want to know why a Democratic Senator and Representative in Minnesota were shot... It might have something to do with the fact that their deaths would end the Democratic majorities in both chambers.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

There's a cottage industry churning out articles about left-leaning "bubbles" and "echo chambers" but very little written about how numerous members of Congress live in a bubble of nonsense peddled by lobbyists and consultants. I have no doubt he was told this by a 20-something crypto lobbyist.
