This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.

developing a sort of descriptive thesis that there is a growing anti-civilization movement coalescing around destroying the pillars of modernity: pharmaceuticals, efficient agriculture, and education and their assumptions are widely culturally accepted

The metaphysics of these guys are genuinely incredible. They think Online is real in the way real life is real. Elon filled Twitter with weird Nazis therefore the world has to be filled with them. Greta Thunberg's tweets did numbers ergo she was as powerful as the shadow president oligarch

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Do people not understand what’s happening with the Eric Adams thing? The memo instructing the prosecution to be dropped explicitly said it was because he was carrying out the president’s agenda. It was “you’re working for me, so we’re letting you go.” It was an explicitly corrupt bargain

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices. We hammered this time and time again and yet.

real ones know that Trump's only consistent position is whatever electoral method he thinks is more likely to product a Republican is the one he supports

people think I'm saying "Trump is WWE" or "the wrestlers are MAGA" but what I'm saying is that audience emotion and on-stage performance shaping each other reciprocally captures mass politics in microcosm in a way almost nothing else does

It’s pretty striking how this time, Trump’s cabinet picks are basically Celebrity Jeopardy of appointments - every single selection is a character from television. There are barely any Rex Tillersons or Steve Mnuchins, just an endless series of famous MAGA clowns and sycophants

How the fuck are they still doing this? We are at a point when in the same state as University of Austin the government is literally censoring certain words and ideas from the classroom & the federal government is going to try to do the same at a national level. Absolute disconnection from reality.

Sarah McBride could post a 24/7 stream of videos of all the random people calling for her death. Kamala Harris could have done it just with random people calling her the N word. Doesn’t work for Dems because the media treats random ppl on TikTok like Dem operatives in a way they don’t for Reps.

lol the Biden admin already started this with IRS Direct File. I see we’ve reached the “steal other people’s ideas and pretend they’re your own” part of the Musk “innovation cycle”
