He’d certainly know about deeply unprofitable. Don’t take my word — Google it. This aside, what nonsense comparing America to a private company (yes, some tech dudes are that reductively stupid). You can be for more government efficiency and not support the random bonfire of cruelty that DOGE is.

This ain’t it. Jelani kept the J school open so Spectator reporters could work out of it during the crackdown on the protesters last year, even after NYPD goons threatened to arrest him. He’s not telling his students to obey in advance, he’s teaching them how to strategize.

My issue with Moyn isn’t even that he was wrong on one of the central political questions of our time; it’s that he spent the past several years sneering at the people who were right as unsophisticated hysterics. IMO the honorable thing would be for him to recede from public discourse entirely.

One big gap in our legal system is that it assumes officials pass or enforce even clearly unconstitutional policies and actions in good faith. So it mostly shields them from consequences. This becomes a huge problem when you have an administration that violates the Constitution in bad faith. 1/2

I don't think so, because there's strong evidence most MAGA faithful don't actually believe much of what they say. Instead, they believe they're in on the con. It's less "I believe Trump's lies" and more "we must collectively lie, because that is our weapon in the war against liberals."

If this is all a headfake by @schumer.senate.gov to fool Dem voters into believing Senate Dems tried to stop the Trump/Musk destruction while voting for cloture to enable it, that's going make Dems' electoral problems even worse.
