I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

This is correct. You will find no explanation for Trump's actions in economics or political science. You need to go deep into woke academic critical theory, and there it suddenly makes sense why white male nepobabies hate communal prosperity because it undermines their dream of personal superiority.

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

I guess today is Liberation Day from an international economic system that produced by far the greatest increase of global prosperity and well-being in human history.

What fun America is right now. We've a bunch of insipid lunatics running around the building knocking down load-bearing walls because it'll "open up the space" and now we're all just sitting here waiting for the fucking building to collapse on us.

The 21yo just trudged off to his grandma's apartment to "show her how to move her Roku to a different wifi network." This is one of the reasons people have kids.

It’s not a war plan it’s an attack plan. It’s not rape it’s sexual abuse. If there’s not enough evidence to assure conviction, then it’s a hoax. Very tired of a decade of this dumb game, but glad to see them have a hard time playing it this time.

I recorded a special episode of my Bulwark podcast with @timmiller.bsky.social this morning to discuss Paul, Weiss’s appalling capitulation to the First Extortionist of the United States. I didn’t mince words. Link below. @thebulwark.bsky.social

Trump v.1: fake infrastructure week, fake healthcare plan, fake COVID response, half-ass insurrection Trump v.2: destroy the entire government, deport everyone, suspend the constitution, invade Canada They really went overboard with the sequel didn't they?

I feel like we need to form a League of Relatively Normal People, and our agenda should be things like: --Canada's cool, leave them be --Lot of smart people at universities, that's a plus --We're scared of getting cancer, so let's research it --Fewer floods and wildfires would be nice

We need an opposition party to an authoritarian regime, Democrats think they are a minority party within a democracy.

A broad array of people in major institutions let their disdain for trans people, activists, & youth in general turn their brains into custard over the last decade. They were warned their grievances would be used to destroy the institutions they were putatively trying to defend. They didn't listen.

I keep banging this drum but they are *ending* research in the United States. And I have yet to see electeds make much noise about this. This is the primary source of our international advantage and they are destroying it unimpeded
