I understand that many people on the left think that associating Trump with conservative views is a shortcut to delegitimizing everything about conservatism, but Trump is no conservative; the MAGA movement is Big Government, Nanny Statism for white people.

“Who’s calling?” Trump asked when he answered our call one morning in late March. (It was a fair question; it could have been almost anyone.) My story w @michaelscherer.bsky.social, on the Secret History of Trump's private cell phone. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Pretty dramatic day in Russia: Ukrainian drones have reportedly attacked four Russia air bases, destroying a significant number of strategic bombers and radar planes. (Tu-95s, Tu-22, A-50) Russian milbloggers are furious. One calls it a "black day," another says they need to nuke Kyiv.

Marilyn Monroe, born 99 years ago today. When Ella Fitzgerald couldn’t get booked at the Mocambo Club because she was Black, Monroe (at the height of her own fame) called the owner and told him if he booked Ella, she would take a front table every night. And she did. #RIP

Inspired by @jtuttlekeane.bsky.social and @ohdearz.bsky.social, here's what the White House proposed budget cuts to NASA would do to the entirety of the agency's Science Mission Directorate. Bloodbath is right.

We're going to learn some tough stuff today about the White House's proposed budget for fiscal year 2026—including what they have in mind for NASA. I'll share what I hear, but remember: CONGRESS decides how much money NASA gets, not the White House. So whatever happens today, the fight continues.

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it. If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why? Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

Republicans have just proposed defunding Planned Parenthood nationwide. In doing so, they are telling women and people across the country that our healthcare doesn’t matter and that we are undeserving of care. It’s time to stop this bill in its tracks.

Now that we know the TACO thing bugs the fuck out of Trump, a coherent left media machine would swing into action & make sure that every single left-of-center person on a TV shore or podcast used that term repeatedly for the next several weeks, making it inescapable.

If any pro-vaccine study did something like this, the anti-vax movement would broadcast it so loud and make it the centerpiece of a documentary. But, bc the anti-vax movement is fundamentally about eugenics and propaganda, they'll just hand-wave it away, play the victim, and move on.

Couldn't agree more with this. It's jaw-dropping to see the patty cake people are playing with him after what was a full constitutional assault that, oh by the way, is almost certainly going to lead to tens of thousands of people in the global south dying needlessly.
