A president with a 30% base who abides by the law can serve a full term. However, a leader who sees themselves as a king and loses the crucial 21% that secured their victory cannot. If more than 65% of the country is outraged and mobilized, Congress will inevitably bow to the pressure.

A large part of what many agencies do, is collect, collate, and report data. Report to congress so they can be informed how to make laws. When this unskilled clown show is a little down the road, they are going to have to suppress all of that data to stop their own constituents from revolting.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

I'm not sure how soaring egg prices, mass firings, emboldened Nazis, a Measles outbreak, and planes falling out of the sky count as "wins" to MAGA, but I'd sure hate to see what losing is to them.

Not enough attention has been paid to the fact that Pete Hegseth's view of military affairs was shaped in combat as a junior officer under the command Michael Steele, the bible-thumping "buffoon" of Black Hawk Down, an officer whose career was later ended over war crime accusations in Iraq. 🧵

Gonna need people to stop referring to the Eagles as "America's Team." We hate that. That's the Cowboys. You will notice how they are extremely shitty. The Eagles play for the Free City of Philadelphia. They are Philadelphia's Team. Show them some respect and get it right.

This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

Our German supporters made us realize we made a mistake, and we want to acknowledge it. Germany, you’re in our thoughts. While we’re relieved that AfD was defeated, we understand this is not a moment for celebration. There is still much work ahead, and we stand in solidarity with you.
