This. We give elected Dems a lot of guff, but this one is not the Dems' fault. Dems in the House held the line and did all they could.

New: Reporting over the past few days suggest Dems really do see the government-funding as an opportunity to force a return to the rule of law. (Good!) It also suggests that they might settle for a fig leaf. (Bad!)

Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order. A random private citizen is running the "Cabinet" meeting of POTUS & the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments, & going around unplugging large portions of the government. And we're all just 🤷‍♂️

now would be a good time for liberals to make a massive investment in progressive media. decades of relying on the ny times/wapo/ap/cnn has been a failure and they're now more right-wing than ever. everything is turning into a miniature fox news and liberals dont want to put money into this.

They're running the Shock Doctrine disaster capitalist playbook on the world's biggest economy--the one that performed better than almost any other industrialized country post-COVID because of Biden's excellent economic stewardship.

I just finished reading @chrislhayes.bsky.social new book “The Sirens’ Call”. Quite good and it explains very well how our attention has been monetized over the years. And they (the oligarchs) plan to steal even more of our attention. A worthwhile read, and worth buying.

We’re witnessing a Brexit-level instance of completely unnecessary economic destruction. A country that’s not hit by any shock, but simply chooses policy self-harm.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

I think if I had this much leverage I would demand more than "Let's reassert what the law already is." The demand should be to eject Elon and his teens from the government. They're enormously unpopular what's the problem

OPINION: The Reformation initially seemed to promise the chance for a complete reordering of an unjust society. But Luther's decision to side with the princes instead of the peasants transformed it from a grassroots movement into an act of state.

Why should cities invest in cycling (infrastructure, parking, sharing) as a first/last mile solution? It vastly extends the reach of the public transport system; reducing congestion and creating more equitable access to opportunity for those without the privilege of proximity. youtu.be/vci-TNDf6gs

Bezos shut down the Washington Post editorial page today. There’s no reason to read anything that’s just a dictate from a Trumpist billionaire. The Post editorial page is now as good—that is, as useless—as state-sponsored media. A disgrace the paper will never outlive.
