Exactly... calling them spineless misses the point. They have priorities that don't match ours.

My latest piece at @thenation.com takes issue with the conventional wisdom that the Dems don't know how to fight Musk's GOP brownshirts effectively. They know how. We know this because they've been waging that kind of ruthless fight against the left for 25 years. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Maybe the reason the pundit class love AI so much is that it reminds them so much of themselves - an empty vessel, often wrong

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

This is what just happened and its the most fucking insane thing I've ever seen. 1) Article below comes out where the GOP is freaking out about working Friday. 2) Suddenly, MULTIPLE Trump nominees are fast tracked by unanimous consent. Now the Senate is on course to leave Thursday.

Musk’s attacks on federal workers pose an existential threat to the whole labor movement, all workers, and the broad Left It’s alarming that most people don’t yet understand the stakes 🧵
