The totalitarian levels of bad faith and disingenuousness from MAGA is funny at one level but also deeply depressing because it’s the foundation for all this and until it cracks, I’m not quite sure how we get out alive.

Interesting that nobody is seriously considering suing Trump for treating the successful economy he’s busy trashing as an “emergency” justifying taxation without representation. The tariff laws and the National Emergencies Act would be unconstitutional if they really authorized this form of tyranny.

I wonder why Trump’s Ambassador to Ukraine can’t even name the country to who did this? Just gross that this is what is representing us in that embattled country.

Zelenskyy has confirmed that Kiev has received draft of new agreement on minerals from the USA - and the document is radically different from the previous one. Ukraine will not perceive provided military aid as a debt: We are grateful for the support, but it is not a loan, and we will not allow it

I thought this administration was pretty firmly in favor of aggressive incursions from Russia?

As a foreign national, I will say that living and working in a country in which those fundamental protections are suspended for me, or at the very least conditional on not upsetting the regime in any way, is utterly untenable. From the Trumpist perspective, that, of course, is the intended effect.

Breaking News: Democrat James Malone just defeated a Republican in a Pennsylvania district that voted for Trump by over 15 points. This is a huge embarrassment for Elon Musk, who urged people to vote for the GOP candidate.

The breadth of these executive orders makes me wonder if Republicans (or GOP leaning law firms, conservative colleges, GOP states with certain voting laws) can't imagine a future in which Dems regain the White House and just do their version of this stuff. Or maybe they assume no more elections?

I understand this argument, and I think it has merit. But it doesn’t explain the sheer disengagement and lack of urgency among millions of other people, including a lot of Democrats. There is almost no language that can convey to people a sense of emergency anymore.

The fact that the world’s richest man works at the behest of the executive and can buy out the legislature is massively outside the scope of what the framers could have imagined there’s is simply no constitutional measure that can guard against something like this www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...

I am not blaming Democrats for Republicans becoming fascists. I am blaming people who overused "fascist" for years for removing the power of that word and gutting it of meaning, and making it useless now that we need it. Something I warned would happen.

McCarthyism made anti-communism look bad and gave cover to actual communists. When Communists were everywhere and everyone, soon, no one believed there were any communists anywhere in the government. Spoiler: There were, actually, communists in the USG. You'd think this would be a lesson today.
