Shooting protesters in the legs will be standard practice now.

"Trial by combat" isn't provocative, I guess.

He chose political power over country. He knew what he was doing was wrong and did it anyway. Deeply evil man, good riddance.

I liked One Billion Americans. But Matt and Ezra do push a lot of click-bait (enrage to engage).

I know it's small potatoes compared with the end of American democracy, but this one sure pissed me off when I read it in The Washington Post. Which, oddly, is not on the list of YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO READ THIS publications. Bezos paid tribute, so you can read his paper. The Economist, really?

Dr. Topol, thank you for publishing these studies! I had read about the TRIIM and TRIIM-X studies and I'm very curious about how a healthy thymus promotes health.

There needs to be pushback at every level.

The Twitterization of the USA. Just rename the country to X and be done with it.

Such wall-to-wall corruption you can't even get into the room to report on it. 100% corrupt federal government since Trump became co-emperor.

I feel like Chomsky is his own case. He spent so many years pointing out little-known crimes by the USA with minimal recognition that I think it reprogrammed his brain to see nothing else. I used to learn things from him, I can't even listen to him now.

If Congress wasn't corrupt themselves, Citizens United would have been repealed its first year. The USA may not recover from John Roberts' treason.

Who is Vance speaking to? Only a full Qanon MAGA person hears anything other than partisan garbage when he speaks. His role seems to be "outside agitator" because Trump and Musk have no use for him, so they let him troll and humiliate the administration.

Free speech is when Elon is talking. Election fraud is when someone else is talking. Free speech is good, election fraud is bad.

If we still have elections and all that after this presidential term, I'd want to look at removing the presidential pardon capability from the constitution. It was always ripe for abuse and has been abused repeatedly and Trump has made it a tool for papering over his own crimes. J6 day of love?

So, Elon Musk is a Nazi and JD Vance is a Nazi. Who will break the news to Herr Drumpf?

JD Vance hasn't said anything true since his comments about Trump being America's Hitler. He is an embarrassment.

That was my reaction. He sounds like a complete idiot.

It's sad that the only "wins" are small-bore refusal-to-be-complicit resignations, while the "losses" are things like America's standing in the world and soft power, respect of our allies and the separation of powers. My life will be unchanged whether Eric Adams goes to jail or not.

So, if it affects libs only, do the meat axe thing. If "your people" would be affected, be careful what you cut. Got it.

It's the boiling frog story, but faster than any pot of water can boil. "You let us commit 20 criminal acts in plain site, so it's clear that you'll let us do anything. Here's some more stuff you need to let us do."

The "winner take all" electoral college feeds this crap. A state with 49% Democrats and 51% Republicans gets called a "red" state, like the 49% are of no consequence and can be ignored.

Michelle Goldberg (NYT columnist) summarized a Trump 1.0 event as "We stopped doing it when we got caught, so what's the problem?". But Trump 2.0 doesn't acknowledge doing it and refuses to stop.

The Constitution is just a document and if the Supreme Court interprets it to say that Trump can be president forever then that is what we will get. No law can protect us.

All law enforcement is now illegal. Only criminal activity will be tolerated.

Yes, your "NO TAX" scenario is the standard way all wealthy people shelter their wealth. Incredible that we let this stand. But if current tax policies are worth $200 million to you each year, you can afford to let your representative know how important this is to you with a modest donation.

Tough love. I'm not sure how many nations could do this ... yes, it punishes the U.S. but it also raises costs at home for the folks applying tariffs. Also, not sure that Trump is educable on this subject.

I don't really trust what I read in the NYT any more. Everything is "both sides now" and observations of fact are rephrased as suggestions, hints, rumors, stuff that one side says and can be refuted. Trump has everyone scared to say anything ... he will sue and you will cave.

Bernie is too old and has been saying the exact same things for years. If anyone was moved by his arguments something would have happened by now. He lost me entirely in one of the presidential debates where he refused to answer a direct question and restarted his stump speech from the beginning.

Right. "The USA was burned to the ground today, with no survivors. In other news, ..."

This "forgive the Trump voter, he simply didn't know" idea fails hard for me. I don't even get past his marital history in evaluating him: he's been married three times and cheated on all three of his wives. So, the first thing you know about him is that he can't be trusted to keep his promises.

Trump's actions were designed to cause pain. Hit back as hard as you can, make it hurt. Bullies won't back down until they are bloodied.

Thanks for the link! I hope we'll still have a National Institute of Health to fund research like this!

Because Trump ordered it as part of his official duties. Everything is legal now. John Roberts can explain.

They should just admit that they've started a eugenics program. The base will be fine with it. The rest of us have no say anyway. Once they announce what they're doing, everyone goes along. It's all legal now, no matter what the law says.

In the original Star Wars, you get the idea that the Republic was defeated by the Empire. Revenge of the Sith plays out the ugly truth ... the Republic BECOMES the Empire. So, yeah.

That question always gets me angry. Health care is a service provided to a person by one or more people. How the hell can a service provided by someone else be my right? Do I get to decide who provides this service? Who decides what that service is? What if the service sucks? The answer is No.

Illegal is legal if Trump does it. John Roberts can explain.

Doesn't rent control reduce the construction of new housing? Making the housing shortage worse?
Are these statistics real? How could homelessness increase by 50% in one year? Is this 50% more people? Did rising rents lead to people being evicted or deciding to be homeless?

Isn't there a well-known protocol for accomplishing this? Find a plaintiff who has been inconvenienced by someone else's same-sex marriage ... having to see them holding hands or something like that. File a lawsuit in a court which will blow them off. Appeal to the Supreme Court. Done!
