Look, Miller is terrible and needs to face consequences. But let’s not elevate him to “architect.”
Maybe “toddler placing with racist Lincoln Logs.” Which would still make him the brightest bulb on that very dim tree.

Lots of scrambling today by the terrible regime.
I want to argue that our goal should be to get Miller removed, that has to be the focus. Noem, Bovino, etc are all just middle managers. The architect of the terror regime is Miller.

In my a new post I talk about how JD Vance and Stephen Miller have been responsible for the two biggest political disasters of Trump's second term so far - Greenland and Minnesota. Their "rules no longer apply to us" project is taking a huge, deserved hit.

Back from an interesting and exhausting few days in Davos for the WEF meetings. I am still processing my first trip to this event, but in the meantime I did get some good media work in, such as this interview with We Don't Have Time: buff.ly/KYnSTi2

Every so often we need to look up from the daily outrage cycle and look at the larger patterns. Deleting climate datasets and degrading global assessments are not one-off actions.
They are a program stripping evidence from policy and politics. We must resist this.

One thing that's becoming clear is that Rubio et al don't actually understand what imperialism entails. Like they could have turned USAID into the Colonial Office, but...
Honestly not sure if this is a good or a bad thing.

I’m enjoying today’s football changing of the guard. Alabama getting wrecked by Indiana, Ohio State getting beaten by Miami. Turns out Texas Tech can’t actually purchase a playoff win.
DeBoer is getting fired. Day is probably back on a hot seat a year after a title.
Good times!

They predicted the highly-wealthy would leave MA when it passed a millionaire’s tax (an additional 4% surcharge on income over $1 million.
They did not leave. Economy did just great. We have revenue to fix stuff.

It’s uncertain whether the proposal will reach the statewide ballot in November, but some billionaires like Peter Thiel and Larry Page may be unwilling to take the risk.

This seems like a really, really bad survey question. Unless it was sent only to people with about the same income, you were asking participants very different questions. $500 means very different things if you are making $200k or $30k.

I’m going to keep pointing out that outrage is the goal here. Bannon seeks to create a question about a third term, which will lessen Trump’s lame duck status. This rhetoric suggests his team is terrified.
Reporting Bannon’s comments without pointing this out helps him drag out the admins power.
