When the leader of France’s far-right party—founded by an actual Nazi sympathizer—thinks CPAC is too racist for him, you know the GOP has fully gone off the deep end.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

I think he knows this, but there is absolutely no amount of sucking up flattery or concessions of some sort or anything else Zelensky could offer that would move Trump one iota away from being an enemy of Ukraine and an ally of Putin.

It will take impeachment. For real, this time. We only need a few R reps to get it started. (And a long R senators, of course.) Will they realize he’ll get rid of them, too? In many ways, he already has.

If the New Jerseyans are using and congesting New York roads, how is this different than paying tolls to drive on the NJ Turnpike or Garden State Parkway? I lived in NJ many years, and I generally like your work, sir, but you're wrong about this.

I watched Hannity's interview with Musk and Donald Trump so that you didn't have to. It was, as George W. Bush might have said, some weird shit www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

People in tech talk about the idea of a “10x programmer” — someone whose work is worth that of 10 others. I get the impression Musk etc think they can apply it all over the federal workforce but like… there’s no such thing as a 10x ATC navigational aid maintenance worker. Some jobs just need people.

The Washington Post should not have to run this ad - if you believe the reporting of the Post's own employees, "fire Elon" should be the position of the editorial board.

An excellent question. Where are the Fortune 500 & Wall Street CEOs? Where are the university presidents? Where are the civil society leaders? Not just speaking out specifically in defense of their institutions & democracy, but also about 🇺🇸's global interests? The silence is deafening & shameful.

This is what higher ed administrators are reading this weekend. Basically, anything that could be perceived as involving race could result in the loss of federal funding. It's an expansive Dear Colleague letter from ED, to be sure. www.ed.gov/media/docume...
