When I started writing Our Own Worst Enemy, I kept telling people that the economic deprivation argument just didn't explain what was going on, no matter how beloved a theory it was. Now here's @jvl.bsky.social reviews the record, and, well...

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

Son: Are we better off now? Dad: Well son, mom & dad have both lost their jobs. Our savings are gone, gas & grocery prices are up. We did, however, save you from drag queen story time. Son: What's that? Dad: A mythical thing they said was happening in your school, which we can't afford anymore.

"Leadership is how we have put America first from the time we became a global superpower. Trump and Republicans want to retreat from that leadership not because they want to put “America first,” but because they want to elevate Russia and China to peer status." www.thebulwark.com/p/america-fi...

I saw folks protesting at my local Tesla service center. Right on ✊🏾 I’m convinced unelected co-president Elon Musk is going to devolve the United States government into a version of what Tesla has become. Hear me out. 🧵

Vance has, for years, used this technique where he mischaracterizes the position of his opponents by taking it to an extreme that they never advocated, then arguing w/that fictitious position. Supporters don’t want “permanent” shipments, nor did we advocate de-industrialization.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I keep crawling back to X…because I am mentally ill. That is the only plausible explanation, because when I open that App I immediately become angry beyond all reason and control. It’s like there is a spirit of madness embedded in the code. Anyway…thanks for being sane Blue sky buds.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Heartbreaking what they’re doing to the place. “I cannot continue to serve in such a hostile and toxic work environment, one where leadership at the highest levels makes clear we are not welcomed or valued, much less trusted to do our jobs” thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Nobody should be surprised that our Secretary of State is a pathetic, weak, cowardly piece of shit.

🔥 Heating up. Schiff: I want you to look at Capitol police & tell them you're proud that you raised money off people that assaulted their colleagues Patek: That's an abject lie. I've never accepted violence against law enforcement. Schiff: You didn't accept it, you glorified it! 🎯

Ominous news from an important ally. Classically liberal democracy is everywhere under siege, and everywhere the enemies of liberty wrap themselves in populist demagoguery and appeal to the will of “the people” to justify their gleeful destruction of the institutions and laws that restrain them.

This is objectively good journalism and it paints a portrait of a deeply flawed man likely in the grips of a serious substance abuse issue. He served our country honorably by all accounts, but his character defects alone are patently disqualifying. I can’t understand why this is even in controversy.

"Why won't you write about Trump's terrible nominees!?" These are the last six pieces I wrote. Five are about Trump's nominations. Look, I don't mind if you don't like a piece. No one likes everything. But I do mind if you make dumb objections without checking. 🤷‍♂️

I’ve found myself posting on the other place. I think I have a problem y’all. I read something stupid and cannot restrain myself from arguing. I need to do better. This place is so much healthier.
