this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

“It’s the largest redistribution from poor to rich in a single bill in American history.” It's a play in three regressive parts: 1. Tax cuts for the rich. 2. Spending cuts on the poor. 3. Tariffs that hit low-income folks hardest.

Goes without saying that by ICE what we really mean is the Stephen Miller Domestic Terror All-Star Band. If you ever wondered "what would it be like if the government remade the 1870's Klan and gave them the military budget of France," this is the era for you

Total spending on prisons across all fifty states? That system that holds 1.4 million ppl per year? The (until recently) largest incarceration rate in the world? $60 billion. ICE alone will get 2/3 of that.

The rise of people like Lander and Walz, whose ideologies don't exactly match mine but have the exact right combination of "love thy neighbor" and "fuck you, asshole" attitudes, is massive positive for people who care about left of center politics

One of the things that shills for the "super-rich" are absolutely, professionally, incapable of addressing is that being "super-rich" makes you dangerously, unaccountably, powerful, and that is bad in itself and should be stopped.

This is great. Cato’s “more speech” is not an answer in this environment. “We need systems that make debate constructive, that help people evaluate competing claims, and that prevent the most manipulative actors from hijacking public discourse.”

It’s pretty startling that it’s become a feature of the Roberts Court that they save the most outrageous and infuriating usurpations of the Constitution for the last day they are in session and then disappear for months onto the planes and boats of the billionaire friends safe from public scrutiny.

"The hierarchy of harm shows companies can choose differently. Microsoft proves you can build renewable infrastructure. Anthropic shows you can avoid traumatizing content moderators. Google shows you can create safety frameworks. They just choose not to do all of it." This is a must-read.

This is just absolute gibberish in any modern society. I'm just repeating what many others have said, but REALLY!?! We're determining the scope of the judiciary's power in 2025 by asking what power the KING had in 1789? What in the ever-loving purple f*** does that have to do with anything?

No explanation. None. It’s obscene. I keep remembering the 1679 habeas corpus act. It reacted to the king arresting people & without trial deporting them. It began: “for prevention of imprisonment beyond seas.” Without explanation, our current SCOTUS majority is undoing centuries of justice.

My friend and colleague Remco Heesen once told me study of social epistemology of science made him "less trusting of any particular scientific paper but more impressed by science as a whole." I honestly think that's the right lesson to draw. But I think holding both attitudes doesn't come naturally.

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.
