On the one hand, this "I'm powerless!" answer from multiple congressional Republicans is pure garbage. On the other hand, it's sure not "Trump/Musk are doing a great job!" Which (1) tells you what they're hearing, and (2) will tend to further hurt Trump's popularity.

It is almost impossible to explain the sheer insanity of Elon Musk apparently having the capability to email the entire federal government evidently without getting approval from anyone—and, apparently, against the wishes of most Cabinet departments.

What the Trump administration wants to do by creating these camps is monstrous enough. But a key thing I found when writing a book on concentration camp history is that when you establish this kind of detention, it tends over time to devolve into much worse kinds of camps.

Exit poll from Germany. It’s bad but could have been a lot worse.

A more accurate frame of this story is (1) they fell way short of pre-election polling, (2) they appear to have lost 5% support since Musk’s endorsement, and (3) the center-right CDU is far ahead.

Also the next Dem presidential campaign, both English & Spanish-speaking, should be the foundation of permanent messaging & organizing structures, not just a roadshow that pulls a tent up in July & knocks it back down in November. Start in 2026 if they can, start now if they can. Build resilience.

Not the primary culprit, but it’s also supremely & mortifyingly embarrassing for administrators of the Carter library to agree to cancel events like this. What’ll happen if they don’t? They test bluff? a presidential library is shut down by the White House, which has its own political opportunity?

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This guy wants the AfD to win in Germany. He wants Pierre Poilievre and the CPC to win in Canada. I don’t know about you, but given the devastation and fascism he’s doing everything he can to create in the United States and beyond, I wouldn’t vote for someone this guy likes in a million years.
