Reader of primary docs. Life is absolutely measured by what you do next. Your opinion is not what makes it fact. And Yes, the basket of deplorables metastasized since 2016. Silence in the face of inhibit is the absence of character and complicity.

Wealthy elites know that tax cuts for the super-rich are extremely unpopular. It’s why they try to distract us with scapegoats like immigrants, trans people, and a catch-all like DEI. Don’t fall for it.

“I spent hours with him and walked with him thru Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, & shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it’s worse—he doesn’t care whatsoever…He was unmoved by the experience.”

"This is also where elderly people can apply for Medicare, which doesn’t have physical outposts of its own. And it’s where hearings are held — due process provided — for beneficiaries who believe that they have been unfairly kicked off of desperately needed assistance."

It'd be awesome if @whitehouse.senate.gov asked Attorney General Bondi if she has issued some kind of finding that foreign donations are cool now, so long as they're covered up nicely. www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/22/p...

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

Henry Adams: “Politics, as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.” The election was not about egg inflation. There was only one candidate who could credibly promise to hurt the people you hate, and he’s the one who became president

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

I hadn't seen this yesterday, Elon Musk saying two lawyers were "undermining civilization" which "seems like a generational trauma transfer issue." What a strange insult. Does he know their parents or something? Ah, I see: they're both Jewish. It's Musk being a Nazi. Again.

As we watch another disastrous Trump presidency wreak havoc on our country and institutions, it's worth remembering what those who have worked closest with Trump say about him 👇 #ResistTrump

Russia launched an unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022. Since then, thousands of Ukrainians have perished. Entire towns and cities reduced to rubble. It will take them decades to recover, if at all. For Trump to casually flip the narrative via tweet is beyond disgusting.

Musk/Trump/NYT is going to call firing IRS agents savings, but the lost revenue will be many times their salaries: this all about making it easier for rich people to cheat on their taxes.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

IL Gov. Pritzker is one of the great leaders of our time. You can watch his full IL budget address here. If you forward to the 26 minute mark, you can watch as he shifts to a dire warning about the direction our country is taking, but also words of hope. We should all take heed.

Make it make sense? Trump is a decades long tax cheat that strongly supports other tax cheats and grifters.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

The other day (BEFORE Russia bragged about wowing Trump with promises of goodies) I noted that Trump didn't do his pivot turn on Russia and Ukraine until Pam Bondi had shut down any chance of investigating RU influence and electoral help. www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/14/d...

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.
