@chrislhayes.bsky.social: Trump is taking the Big Lie to Social Security. The point is and was to "fabricate this elaborate, grotesque lie about a cherished institution of American government to sow enough fear, doubt and uncertainty among enough people that Trump can get away with destroying it."

Good day to do so.

One further thought after today’s Substack post: on tariffs, Trump has been more extreme than his campaign, despite urgent warnings from business. Any reason to believe he won’t go all-in on mass deportations? paulkrugman.substack.com/p/america-is...

The biggest thing this will do is make it super easy for the ultra rich to cheat on their taxes. That’s the point.

All of the money amounts Trump is reading out, of alleged waste, is a tiny fraction of what he is about to spend to prop up his corrupt crypto friends, as Jacob Silverman wrote for Zeteo today:

A truly vile decision, giving the lie to all Trump’s claims that he is horrified by the killing in Ukraine. Apparently he’s fine with the Russians doing the killing, but is determined to stop Ukraine striking back. Europe must wake up to how serious this is, not just for UA but for its own security.

What’s clear at this point is that the Trump strategy on Ukraine is to only place pressure on Zelensky, not Putin. The moves we’ve seen have been to give Russia everything it wants, and Ukraine nothing. It’s a complete reversal of the American position from only 6 weeks ago.

President Bonespur is a coward who is embarrassed that the Ukrainian people are willing to fight and die for their freedom.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

you'd think Marco and Elon would be proud of how many people they're condemning to needless death. Elon bragged about how he put the agency "into the wood chipper". why so bashful now?

As long as Elon Musk is running his mouth about Social Security—which he appears to be trying to understand in real-time—I’ll note that DOGE has yet to find a single instance of fraud across the entire government, as I reported for @atrupar.com this week. www.publicnotice.co/p/despite-th...

"What MAGA celebrates as “free speech” is more often rightwing propaganda, a necessary tool in authoritarian regimes, or outright hate speech that marginalizes the oppressed and promotes violence against them." Excellent piece by @playtyperguy.com www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-vanc...

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

Even Ron DeSantis thinks Andrew Tate should be prosecuted for sex trafficking. Conservatives who claim to care about sex trafficking of children, yet still support Trump, Musk and the Tates, are immoral hypocrites. They only care about power. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

The Gilded Age is Trump's ideal--let's check the stats, shall we? --most Americans disenfranchised --most Americans in extreme poverty --most Americans worked 12 hour workdays, 6-7 days a week --most Americans consumed unsafe food, water, medicine The Gilded Age was great only for the rich folks

very effective slogan and also a reminder to the forces arrayed against Trump that they have the whole American civic tradition at their disposal since Trumpism, especially with Elon and in the second incarnation has genuinely abandoned all of it.

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...
