Let’s be clear. Stephen Miller is likely “actively looking at” chopping people up with an ax for fun, too, so the real question is: “Why does Stephen Miller want this particular headline right now?”

One of the biggest issues from how authoritarian regimes are messaged by the US media as failures of socialism is that they don't convey how things like barren store shelves are usually a result of incompetent economic mismanagement rather then overall economic system. Venezuela comes to mind.

Trump made a bunch of terror in today's Bukele event, which distracted from much else. He also tried to reset legal case w/Abrego Garcia. Here's what I think he tried to do. Why does that matter? Bc there's still a legal & political fight to fight RIGHT NOW. www.emptywheel.net/2025/04/14/w...

“If you don’t like what is happening to this country, you don’t need to wait for someone to come along and save it: You need each other. That should be the message that Democrats embrace, because most Americans don’t want to go where Donald Trump and Elon Musk are leading us.”

"It was underlined that the key condition for not letting the conflict escalate further and the work in the direction of solving it diplomatically must be full cessation of the foreign military aid and providing intelligence information to Kyiv," - the Kremlin's statement after the phone call.

This is what I mean when I say Trump is incompetently pursuing his authoritarianism. Instead of methodically seeking to get Chief Justice Roberts to expand executive power with targeted actions, Trump is moving belligerently while attacking the judiciary. SCOTUS won’t like that.

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

One line of bullshit that Trump is getting away with: "Oh, they're just assessing programs, all new Admins do." Even ignoring that, no, they don't all do that, this is the Project 2025 Hit the Ground Running implementation. They've been "assessing programs" for two years.
