Whether you love or hate tariffs, you can't help but be impressed at the detailed policy planning, the transparency of the policy process, the credibility of Administration announcements, relentless attention to detail, flawless execution, and the thoughtful predictability that business demands.

Apartheid Clyde a petty, dangerous, incompetent man but what always amuses me is how no one likes him and he can’t even buy his way into getting people to like him. He can’t buy a good sense of humor or good looks or good reputation.

sacking 41000 federal public servants just 2-3 years after they've been hired, just so he can go back to hiring hordes of overpaid consultants and contractors, is some monstrous stuff. doge-lite shit, a party entirely out of ideas

Love that every 18 hours I see a reporter post something like “11 Democratic Senators reached across the aisle to help confirm Sle’n’groth The Lamentable (longtime scourge, Trump megadonor, zero government experience) as Deputy Secretary for Continued Flourishing of Humanity”

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

i always find this stuff kind of baffling--obama was a good candidate. he managed to do the same thing trump does: convince a fractious coalition that he can be trusted to advance their interests. the moderate wing of the democrat party has not produced a good politician in that sense for decades

Economist @betseystevenson.bsky.social, on DOGE: "I would basically call it a performance art piece... probably making the government more inefficient, but there's a lot of spectacle about it," designed "to dazzle us and have us look away from trillions of dollar in tax cuts to the uber-wealthy."
