Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

the reason the term “tyranny of the majority” is useful is because tyranny of a minority is just the regular definition of tyranny

remember this every time someone says the answer to any problem at all is to simply win several elections in a row (rather than passing legislation or taking executive action to deal with the problem)

"If a US recession happens this year, it will not be just because of tariffs, but rather a result of the uncertainty created by giving so much power to just one individual who has little contact with reality." mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2025/04/why-...

basically the USA spent 80 years demanding an outsized chunk of all the world's products & resources in exchange for IOUs & the world let them bc "don't piss off the superpower" & "we can use these to trade with each other" & "sanctions if we don't." President Deals calls this "getting ripped off"

We elected a man everyone who matters in this country knew was an idiot. The bulk of them refused to say so openly and directly — either because they thought he could do something for them or because there are political and journalistic norms against speaking that way.

if you think this violates the law (and it very clearly does imo), you don't seek an injunction, you seek an indictment, given that the law makes it a class 1 felony. cowardice from the AG, cowardice from the courts, nobody wants the responsibility of actually enforcing the law. cowards all around

the truth of the matter is the old constitutional order is dead already. most people just don't know it yet and some will refuse to believe it up until someone marches them past the dead bodies and makes them reckon with the world we live in rather than the fantasies they choose to inhabit

I know a woman who just graduated from a public health grad program and CDC fellowship. All this debt loaded up and the entire field goes up in smoke. Her backstop was a job at the school, but with grant cancellations that’s out too. Her republican mom: can you find something in the private sector

It's a great job, you're in charge of a beloved national institution and get to work with and on behalf of a lot of talented journalists. The downside is that sometimes you will have to go to Washington D.C. and try to calm down an extremely flustered cartoon pig.

Funniest recurring bit I keep seeing in replies about this from blue dead enders is that we should wait to "vet" this person before getting excited, as if she's not the most "cards all fully face up on the table" candidate possibly ever.

The Trump tax plan only works by cutting public services. This incredible visualization combines the potential tax cuts (which mostly go to the rich) and loss of services (mostly borne by the poor). It is a giant wealth transfer from the poorest to the richest. budgetlab.yale.edu/news/250319/...

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will stop paywalling articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

everyone should listen to this in its entirety but journalists should listen to it multiple times. this is how you ask questions. you just keep asking simple, easily answerable stuff and the evasiveness becomes that much more glaring

i find this notion that public spending is illegitimate bizarre as a matter of economics but totally legible as a statement of moral economy. and as per any strict system of morality, the punishment is part of the appeal. they are punishing the american people for believing in the public good.
