Again: Stop asking if Russia was the aggressor. It’s like asking if the Eagles won the Super Bowl. Start asking them why they refuse to say it.

“The thing Trump and Musk value most of all is money. Their entire regime is best understood as a criminal junta whose end goal is to redirect the wealth of the nation into their own pockets. They are running a kleptocracy, and they’ve figured out that facism is actually the quickest path to riches”

Not a great time for citizens who have chosen to serve their country by working in government, when the current leaders have nothing but contempt for your very existence. I have an idea, run for office against a Republican who is enabling it - which is all of them.

A lot of people who’ve posted that “I don’t know how to explain that you should care about other people” quote need to know that they should care about other people. I want my tax dollars to go to paying for insulin for the most vile MAGA asshole you ever heard of; that’s part of “everyone”.

Terminal case of techbro disease. They literally cannot comprehend that a shit-ton of people work for the government doing things that don't involve e-mail at al whatsoever.

Hilarious. After the DOGErs set up the new government-wide all employee email system in late January OPM, where it is housed, sent out an advisory which states explicitly that no employee ever has to respond to any of the emails. See 4.2 and 4.3. www.opm.gov/media/kfpozk...

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

I would say remotely competent historians understand that major events in history are historically shaped by men born into wealth and power and lots of them were idiots. (Caligula: psychopathic dumbass!)

This is a terrible move @msnbc.com. Terrible. The @joy.msnbc.com was a critical part of the evening line-up and @joyannreid.bsky.social brings trenchant political analysis that no one else in the evening line-up has brought. I urge you to reconsider this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

This is an excellent legal analysis by Katherine Yon Ebright and @lizagoitein.bsky.social of Trump's unlawful border "invasion" declaration. Turns out Abraham Lincoln once led a campaign to censure James Polk for falsely invoking the Invasion Clause, which sparked the Mexican-American War.

I don't think people realise how hard Why Everything Stopped Working (2026, penguin random house, I'm writing a book) is going to go. It will make some people very upset, but it's necessary to tell you who made everything stop working and why. My editor is as radicalised as I am. She's incredible.
