“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” Theodore Roosevelt

I would note that this message is full of (a) kitchen table issues and (b) both rhetorical and material moderation and people love it because it is clear, mobilizing and oppositional this is what the national Dems just don't get

Four Supreme Court Justices declaring that Article I of the Constitution doesn't count, and justifying it by saying they personally dislike some spending Congress legally authorized, is insane. Not quite as insane as a majority saying the president can commit crimes without consequence, but close.

One reason no one knows Trump radically increased drone strikes and removed any accountability for them is that the guys who pretended to care about such things under Obama turned out just to be mad that Obama existed.

I represent private funds, and this is not a political litmus test - for me, a vote for Trump in 2024 demonstrates a profound lack of judgment, a huge failing to understand risk, and a warped view of reality. I endorse asking professionals who are trained to manage risk how they voted in 2024.

They're scared. They're not thinking straight. They don't realize that the town hall struggle sessions are the alternative to even less pleasant forms of protest.

Stand with trans Americans. You don’t have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump’s acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous. www.thebulwark.com/p/stand-with...

there was no constituency for what the GOP is doing right now until they went out and made one. dems just cannot grasp that part of politics is persuading people, not just reacting to focus groups.

One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative ‘AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/

Full text of the Ukraine-US Minerals Deal. 1. Seems fine (an investment and reconstruction fund); 2. Has no resemblance to what the Trump administration has been saying about it; 3. Can't tell if Ukraine is good at diplomacy, or Trump bad at it. www.eurointegration.com.ua/eng/articles...

Pretty stunning for congressional Republicans to say that it is a “red line” for Congress to assert that the executive branch has to follow the laws that it passes.

There's a reason why the "firebomb a Walmart" tweet made so many people unreasonably angry. Basically laid out in plain English that all politically active people online do is say insane extremist stuff, poast 5 hours a day and nothing else

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: you may not think Twitter is real life, but for Musk, and a lot of other MAGA notables, REAL LIFE IS FOR TWITTER. Everything they’re doing, they’re doing for parasocial kudos from their social media fan club. Their main policy commitment is being “based.”

I'm still mad about Ken Klippenstein's article from yesterday. You can't be any kind of leftist, or even just left-of-center liberal, and look down on government bureaucrats. All social programs depend on dedicated civil servants. We can't get anything done without them

Not to say that any one individual critique was necessarily invalid, but one way in which I think the “critique” trend in academia and activism has spectacularly failed overall is that it’s given many people an inaccurate view of the problems of liberal democracy, with very bad implications.

Has congress passed a law superseding or eliminating the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961? Has the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional? Then why are journalists reporting that Trump and Musk are "shutting down" USAID. They are not authorized to do so.
