We really need to stop talking about this as some kind of looming threat rather than a process well underway. It’s not “close.” You have arrived at your destination. The order has been delivered.

When your MAGA uncle claims that climate change is some hippie fantasy, it helps to point out that the massive corporations employing truckloads of risk analysts are all placing multi-billion dollar bets of their own money that it’s real.

USAID was one of the best things we, America, ever did. There is not really room for dispute on this unless your moral calculus is so different as to be alien.

Again, I think this will increase Mike Lee’s popularity, not decrease it. Trumpists want a swaggering, bullying douche.

It's way down on the list of horrors, but National Parks having to post signs asking visitors to report anything there that provides "information that [is] negative about either past or living Americans" is utterly pathetic. The past isn't all positive, kids. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings.

Trump has moved from saying you need a photo ID to purchase groceries to barfing out a conspiracy theory that China sent people here with fake license plates they used to cast fraudulent votes. Anyway, this escaped dementia patient has the nuclear arsenal at his command, have a great weekend.

One of the most persistent myths, echoed endlessly by the media, is that Trump is, at heart, a "dove," to borrow Maureen Dowd's term. Yet he has been one of the most bellicose presidents in U.S. history, and has repeatedly made threatening remarks about enemies ("fire and fury") and allies alike.

A hugely important point: this is the most inexperienced natsec team in history and they're loyalists who will not stop Trump's final decision. We love to complain about elites, who can make terrible mistakes. But elites, including advisers, are a vital source of constraint on elected leaders. 1/

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

This isn’t remotely true. The worst-of-the-worst aren’t punching a timecard for honest work anywhere. This is just a pretext for harassment which will lead to shakedowns. Put a pin in it.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Tapper: "We cover Trump every day... I think some of the questions about Trump are more about personality than they are about cognitive decline." 🤦 Motivated reasoning--seeing the facts before your eyes and choosing to interpret them to serve your preconceived narrative--is a hell of a drug.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?
