Impossible to even describe how cooked your brain must be if you think school closures in early 2021 caused a broad nationwide swing against your party in late 2024 and you could fix this by apologizing sometime in 2026

the text of the constitution, the legislative record, the common understanding — literally all available evidence points to a single conclusion, which is why the hacks defending trump’s order have had to turn to unrelated esoteria to make their argument

Trump is using the government to directly promote white male supremacy in a way this country has never seen before. Using the tools of civil rights enforcement to attack institutions and force them to hire fewer minorities and fewer women. We need to be much more blunt about it.

It’s impossible, inconceivable the the Times would ever write a headline that says “Trump blatantly violates ethical norms with deeply corrupt act” - because it would be seen as partisan - so everything, no matter how bad, gets downgraded to this absurd, plausibly deniable language

could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?

“the president toured a half-billion dollar luxury 747 owned by the Qatari government which it then gave to him as a ‘gift’ and then he used it to replace Air Force One with the plan of keeping it after leaving office” is the most insane corruption any president has ever done and should end Trump

These people need extremely lengthy prison sentences. The president, the DHS personnel, and the lawyers. They disappeared a man based on an error, and are lying and deceiving to avoid returning him. It’s kidnapping and the fact it’s being done for political points makes it worse, not better

MAGA's entire immigration policy, where as many as one in four Americans can be declared an illegal immigrant and disappeared with no recourse, depends on one specific fact: white people recognize they are at no risk of suffering this fate.

I'm going to say it again: the reason CECOT exists, the reason it looks like that, the reason every prisoner is walked in like Hannibal Lecter surrounded by 100 armed men, is because the entire thing is fascist theater - men tortured on camera to feed jeering crowds of bloodthirsty bigots

It’s funny because the Nazi trolls on Twitter love this “get in the crystal” bit and now big far-left accounts are doing it too. Convergent evolution because they’re communities centered around abuse, and the actual politics are window dressing

everyone who said dems needed to be fighting for every single inch and delaying trump’s staffing and govt funding as much as possible was right. everyone who said to lay low and wait for trump to self-impeach was wrong.

This is archetypally impeachable. Trump’s innovation is to just announce it publicly, so it gets framed as a controversial political choice instead of what it is: a crime against the Constitution.

On top of being completely bizarre, I do think this shows El Salvador feeling some heat - after all, their big thing has been CECOT torture porn, they’re the ones advertising the brutality of their system as a selling point. Pivoting to “he’s just on a tropical vacation!” is incoherent and muddled.

I’ve been trying to say this for years: people’s politics reflect their social networks and perceived social environment. The social environment of the US power class is largely Twitter. This is why Elon Musk taking over Twitter broke America and why so many people have gone insane

There are ~330 million people in the USA. There were ~13 million undocumented people here before Biden was president. If he added 20 million. that would mean ~10% of the people in the USA are seen as "illegal" to the GOP You see what's coming, right? This is a lie to justify disappearing citizens
