"The first guest on Gavin Newsom's podcast was Charlie Kirk" is more than enough for me to say "absolutely not" to any suggestion Newsom play any role in the future of the Democratic Party. People like him are the past, the failures, the ones who got us here.

RFK Jr.'s legacy in the anti-vax movement has shaped the crisis leading up to the current measles outbreak. While he is tasked with fighting the damage he's done, his former group capitalizes on the tragedies befalling children. #snakeoilforall

this is unhinged. Does the judiciary have the power to compel the executive branch to follow the constitution and not reneg on commitments already made by Congress? Apparently not, according to members of the most powerful court in the land.

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.

i don't know how to prove this in an academic sense but I've always believed a major reason the U.S. survived the first age of fascism is that we'd created Hollywood a little earlier and all our most charming narcissists had something better to do than politics

Now up in @vanityfair.com: My deep look at how Donald Trump is blowing an Elon Musk-sized hole in the Constitution, which Republicans, the conservative legal movement, and the Supreme Court have long told us doesn’t allow unelected bureaucrats to wield unchecked executive authority.

I didn’t watch this but am I to understand that an elderly Black man stood up to a fascist, was then escorted out, and most of the white people in the room sat there and did nothing? Am I getting this right? I want to make sure before I say what I need to say.

Let me assure Justice Roberts, his conservative brethren, and the FedSoc forces that put them there that the President of the United States is right: we won’t forget what you’ve done. We’ll remember where you’ve brought us.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

As reported, the entire staff of 538 was laid off this morning. This is a severe blow to political data journalism, and I feel for my colleagues. Readers note: As we were instructed not to publish any new content, all planned updates to polls data and averages are canceled indefinitely. Huge loss :(
