Oh god, it’s the Aaron Sorkin argument: “He’s a great speechifier, so let’s put him forth as a hero forevermore!!” Or we could just acknowledge that he doesn’t suck right now and encourage other electeds to take similar stands against Trump.

It'll never stop making me feel insane that writers are made to feel crazy for appropriately valuing their craft while guys who haven't written an email on their own in three years are painting themselves as essential to the future

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Are you in favor of taxing the rich? Universal healthcare? The rule of law? Housing for the unhoused? Congratulations! You’re a radical leftist, now that the Overton window in the US has shifted so far to the right that there is a far right fascist party and a center right party. And nothing else.

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Again, the DOGE stuff is so stupid it's making me insane. Musk brought in a group of mostly intern-level tech hacks, gave them authority over all actual govt personnel, and they immediately start fking up in the most intern-ass script kiddie ways you can think of. This is why his rockets explode.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Democrats even thinking about joining Republicans to censure Al Green for having the courage to stand up while they sat down do not deserve to be able to generate a single fundraising dollar from a person of moral character ever again.

Marco Rubio is like having Tom Wambsgabs as Secretary of State, a man whose ambition is to be an empty suit, on board to take any stance, say anything, whatever the boss wants, and sponge up some of the pain that comes back, all for the trappings, the title, the plane rides, the suits, to be there.
