"Normally, we treat each bullet point as a separate story. But they are all connected. We are witnessing an extraordinarily broad chilling effect in American society." Look at the length of these lists - this effort to intimidate and silence opposition is a key part of Trump II's authoritarianism.

Pete Hegseth has ordered a massive review of DOD computer archives in an attempt to “align” the department with Trump’s directive to eliminate anything related to DEI. What are America's warfighters so afraid of? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

A recession isn’t inevitable yet, but if the administration continues on its current path, it’s more likely than not. Most MAGA influencers aren’t old enough to remember the real economic pain from the 2008 recession, but I hope someone is advising him to rethink this trade war.

It’s funny how all those big protests just disappeared after the election, despite worsening conditions for Gaza. Almost like they were being disingenuously amplified to sway voter opinion, or something.

I founded and chair an "elite law firm" and we are not in retreat. I have spoken with many other "elite" firm leaders that are staffing up. What the WSJ means is large corporate law firms. Please do not confuse quality with cowardice.

It hasn’t even been two months and already we know we don’t need the long judgment and perspective of history: his second administration is extremely high up there, arguably the top, in terms of both most openly and brazenly corrupt and lawless: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If you make a campaign promise as specific as you will "immediately bring prices down, starting on day one," then I don't want to hear any shit excuses about why you're not doing it. I don't care that it's "only" been 45 days. You said starting ON DAY ONE, motherfucker.

Well, I suppose now we know why Musk was too much of a pussy to beat Bezos at riding into space first. Goddamn, man. A 50% fail rate. You'd have better survival odds playing Russian Roulette than hitching a ride with SpaceX.

America does not need a ‘resistance,’ or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The Oval Office has long been a symbol of American leadership, diplomacy, and decorum—a space where world leaders engage in high-stakes discussions with mutual respect, even amid disagreement. Yesterday’s debacle shattered that image.

It may take DECADES for America to repair the reputational damage that Trump just did in 10 fucking minutes while sitting with Zelensky. If it were an SNL skit, I'd have said "it's too on the nose." This motherfucker has checked out mentally & legit thinks he's hosting a tv show.

I think Zelenskyy knew Trump was setting up an ambush. He hoped that standing up to Putin's bloated crusty Oompa Loompa whore would mobilize Europe and the rest of the free world. Mission accomplished.
