what we've learned today:
if you're writing documents that might be discoverable, part of a historical record, etc? say at least one thing that is extremely inflammatory, very funny, and difficult to disprove.
ideally deliver it flat so it's really unclear if it's a joke

Like none of this is about votes. It's that the caucus politics are breaking out into the open and the leader of the party is DISINHERITING PEOPLE.

honestly it's very appropriate that the first breaks are not the erstwhile Moderate Republicans but the only people in the coalition who actually believe in anything
This is existential for Trump. MTG is creating a permission structure for MAGA (not just moderate GOP who never really loved Trump) to break with him decisively. If he can’t put this rebellion down it’s gonna get real bad for him real quick

one thing you should not discount is the idea that if the party is obviously going down in flames, that every Republican he has dominated is going to want to kill and eat him. i am not being metaphorical.

the astonishing thing about this wave of denialism is that we have more or less decidedly hit the point where clean energy is the *cheaper* option by some distance
I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

Malaysian dummymandering produced the blow-out that upended the country's politics and stopped the stagger to autocracy.
It would be pretty funny if a D-tilted environment coupled with trying to dilute D votes by gerrymandering them into heavily red districts resulted in a much bigger blowout than if they hadn’t gerrymandered

same with YIMBY stuff. yeah, it's the most privileged people still being squeezed by the problem who usually lead efforts against it. do you think the leadership of historical political movements were representative cross-sections of the people impacted?

downwardly mobile educated alienated elite-adjacents clearly are a large part of the contemporary american left's constituency, but it's such a stupid thing to have a complex about or considering particularly damming. read like any history book ever about who starts political movements.
