I am not the first to say it but I do sort of see where JD Vance's mom was coming from when she traded him for drugs

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs

Elon Musk's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s, where they were in the German Nazi Party. They supported Hitler and then went to South Africa, a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany. Musk was an anti-semite and an apartheid lover.

There are less than 10 openly Trans athletes at the college level. Even if you are transphobic, you'd think you'd be pissed he is wasting all this time and money.

The main beneficiaries of the Department of Education are disabled kids (IDEA) and working-class and poor Americans (Title I, Pell Grants, work assistance), so of course Trump wants to do away with it.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

Last time Trump was President, my dad was still alive. His diary entries from the time are full of outrage. I'm glad he's not here for this round, even though that means I'll never meet him. Knowing even just this little bit about him, though, gives me a cone of light to stand in. Thanks, Dad.

Several people have asked if anyone has done a survival guide for federal employees — a collection of resources, links, advice, etc. If not hopefully some people knowledgeable about federal employee rights will do it.

This isn't particularly what the authors of Revelation/etc had in mind, but it's functionally close enough. Rome will always drive itself into the ditch, and America has been Rome for a long time

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country.

Call it a purge, not a buyout. Call it a coup against Congress, not a spending pause. Call it censorship, not a review. Words matter, and we in the media have a chance to do better this time.

The MAGA right wants to present their trans policies as a reaction to overreach. But the reality is they simply want to impose a world where trans people cannot functionally exist. It’s naked eliminationism Read me at @theunpopulist.net www.theunpopulist.net/p/eliminate-...

what Musk is doing is as close to the government being taken over by a hostile foreign power in our lifetimes, the coverage should reflect that
