I've long argued that the elections of George W Bush and Trump were a result of voters having it so good for so long they could afford to take a flier on an unqualified destructive idiot

this is a good post and "decadence" is a good way to think about a lot of things. true decadence is, eg, thinking you could let an insurrection go unpunished and the country would just keep chugging along nbd

Donald Trump would think any doctor or bureaucrat who saved his life as part of their ethical duty, rather than extorting him for the biggest payment possible in exchange for doing so (or letting him die) is a huge sucker and idk if I disagree after seeing what's happened since

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.

We don’t have to let Trump wreck our economy with tariffs—that’s a choice. The Constitution gives trade authority to Congress, not the President. Congress delegated tariff powers to the President and we can take them back. We have the bills (one is mine). We just need enough support to pass them.

I know Trump is busy ensuring the U.S. economy commits seppuku right now, but FYI Tufts University just issued a declaration in support of a motion filed today by Rümeysa Öztürk’s legal team in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts. It’s a pretty strong declaration. www.tufts.edu/president/sp...

Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."

Hilarious how this isn't just a drop of 32% quarter-to-quarter, it's that this is a huge miss (around 15% lower) of already-lowered estimates; the analysts still haven't "groked" that the Tesla brand is trashed. TSLA stock down in premarket trading. 🙏
