I usually post something pithy or snarky but this really spoke to me. Women especially are societally conditioned to deny our anger. I've learned from mine. It has informed me and sometimes, calmed me into action.

If, as Mario Cuomo once said, “You campaign in poetry, you govern in prose,” then Trump issues executive orders as performance art. Like many of his others, this order is confused, rhetorical and — in places — nonsensical. It asserts facts that are not true and claims authority he does not possess.

Trump and MAGA's absurd handling of Signalgate aptly demonstrates why authoritarian populism that shapes everything around the leader's infallibility often delivers bad outcomes. On the pod, @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social is brilliant on this idea. Don't miss this one: newrepublic.com/article/1932...

House Oversight Republicans spent two years subpoenaing and deposing every person who ever had a cup of coffee with Hunter Biden over the last 20 years, but now oppose a subpoena to hear from the person really running the government who hasn’t even had a confirmation hearing.

Don't let Trump spin you, he backed down on the Mexican tariffs when the market dropped out, GOP electeds finding a backbone to complain, and the WSJ calling it the "dumbest trade war in history". Trump blinked and embarrassed himself plain and simple.

This is the moment we’ve always been headed towards. If the President refuses to follow a court’s order we are in deep crisis. The GOP has courted this disaster.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.
