If you think the Trump-Republican Party's willingness to break the law by not following the Epstein Files Transparancy Act (H.R. 4405) reveals something even more insidious about the fascist authoritarian Trump regime, you'd be correct. 😳👇

Republicans claim they’re better for the economy, but it hasn't been true for a century. Don't fall for it. They're better for the wealthy and that's it.

I don’t mind Florida or Texas or other southern places having NHL teams. I mind them having _good_ NHL teams. There should never be a Florida or Texas team in the Stanley Cup playoffs after the first round.

OK basic fact: Mamdani has said he’s a Mets fan, so Caldwell is just outright lying in his lede. And it’s normal for a non-obsessive fan to not know many player names! I’m not sure I could name a current Nats or Twins player, because I’m neither a baseball obsessive nor nine years old.
This is how Christopher Caldwell begins his essay on Zohran Mamdani for the Claremont Review of Books.

In high school, I sold popcorn and soda to MC Hammer at the movie theater where I worked. Hammer was in town receding at Prince’s studio. The theater was in the same mall used to film Mallrats.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it
An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

Also, the Crusades were mostly disasters _for Christians_ and for the Crusaders themselves. All Their Heroes Are Losers, exhibit 1,263

Far-right groups are co-opting the aesthetics of the Crusades for their own objectives, transforming an obsession with feudal justice into a campaign for a White Christian nation.

1/ You don’t need to accuse Trump of being a recruited asset to reach a devastating conclusion: Trump consistently treats an adversarial autocrat (Putin) as more credible than U.S. intelligence, allied governments, and observable facts — and pressures the public to do the same.
