Helping Ukraine has been simultaneously the morally correct thing to do AND in our objective national interest AND something we can do (and have done) effectively. An exceedingly rare trifecta and it has completely broken the brains of cynical people who assume there simply must be a catch or angle

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

President Trump has said Social Security “will not be touched.” But the DOGE team’s first wave of actions — initiating the elimination of 41 jobs and the closing of at least 10 local offices, so far — worries advocates about what might come next.

“You’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old? Are you for real right now?” That teen is "Big Balls" Corisitine, the recording is from 2022, and the voice is from a CEO worried about him as a security risk. Now Musk has him snooping in your personal data www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

As the Kremlin apparently pushes for new elections in Ukraine, remember former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko, poisoned with dioxin when he ran against the pro-Russian candidate in 2004.

Most unsettling thing about the Chair of the Joint Chiefs nominee—besides a political purge opening the spot—is not that he lacks the legal requirements. He’s not far off. It’s that Trump reportedly picked him because he said beating ISIS would be quick and easy. Feeds Trump’s delusions about force.

WaPo’s use of “unusual” further obscures the blunt racism of the white 3-star’s elevation. “Unusual” is a raised eyebrow; more accurately, this never happens. Until now. To replace a 4-star Black general w/ an undistinguished white 3-star ass-kisser.

Norms & duct tape, folks. For decades, these were the only things preventing the president from acting like a Mad King or a fascist. We are learning that, in the absence of two pro-democracy parties, our laws, institutions, & the Constitution are not fit for purpose, & we’re all out of norms & tape.

"the poll shows that majorities oppose cutting taxes on corporations. It finds that 63 percent say their top priority for tax policy is helping 'working-class families,' versus one percent—no, really, one percent—who say it’s helping corporations and the wealthiest Americans."

Tennessee just passed a law that allows criminal charges vs local officials who vote for a sanctuary policy. Florida just passed a law empowering DeSantis to remove elected local officials who don't obey ICE. And: DOJ is threatening prosecution against a NY sheriff who didn't comply with ICE.

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

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...
