Norms and duct tape. It’s all that’s held the imperial presidency back from full-blown dictatorship, & we’ve shredded all of the norms & the last rolls of tape.

Been talking to a formerly-MAGA cousin who is absolutely distraught. Trump 16 & 20, didn't vote in 24. She works in finance. Lives in the Dallas suburbs. Texted me today to ask why people aren't in the streets demanding impeachment. Good reminder that no one is more zealous than a convert...

A pundit tried to argue with @jamellebouie.net just yesterday that Trump isn’t trying to resegregate the bureaucracy. But this stuff would make Woodrow Wilson proud.

One of the big questions with coups is who the military sides with. It's a big question now. Does the firing of a whole lot of leadership make the military now more malleable, or does it anger and alienate a lot of people down the chain of command? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

In tonight's military purge, Tump nominated Dan Caine for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, a retired Lt. General so underqualified he'd need a waiver. Even odder: Caine was installed last month at 3 VC firms doing crypto, AI, and defense tech, including Thrive, founded by Jared Kushner's brother. 1/

Unironically, these letters are a good example of how we’re ruled by evil men now. It would have cost them nothing to be at least slightly sympathetic. “Hey man, we know this is rough, but we have to tighten our belts and…” They instead deliberately made them as cruel as possible.

There’s a certain kind of commentator on the Ukraine War that says nothing about anything that actually crosses the line but acts like some breathtaking new depths of depravity have been discovered when a Ukrainian soldier shoots a Russian soldier with a gun during a battle on a battlefield.

They want war crimes. I do not know why the media will not say this. They say they want war crimes. Heggy got his job because he supported war crimes on Fox News. They think it is good to hunt children for sport.

Fuck him. Seriously. Adm Franchetti is a badass and a patriot. She has served her country with honor and diligence and unwavering loyalty. There is no honor in Pete Hegseth except to the Orange Emperor.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

The senior military officer purges will put our troops in danger. Trump put a part-time airmen incharge of the military, jumping a slew of 3 and 4-stars with 30-40 years of military experience. Our enemy couldn’t be happier.

This sparked a really interesting discussion that would no longer be possible on Twitter. I think it illustrates the need to reform Big Ag, not replace Big Ag, and the inherent tradeoffs involved in food production. Anyway I’m glad there’s a new venue for dorking out.

Again, the most interesting political development of 2025 is a large and growing class of civic professionals...scientists, military officers, teachers, park rangers, diplomats etc etc etc...who have had their futures cut short by the whims of a lame duck and his unelected, drug-addicted benefactor.
