The extreme, opportunistic, completely disingenuous reaction to Kirk's murder also makes clear that if there's an Oklahoma City or 9/11-level attack in the next few years, this administration will absolutely exploit it to try to end our democracy and permanently entrench itself in power.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

incredibly embarrassing that in this random exchange about a building renovation Jerome Powell is putting in more work to point out Trump's bold-faced lying than the entire national media apparatus has for the past six months
Trump: It looks like it’s about $3.1 billion
Powell: I’m not aware of that.
Trump: It just came out
Powell: You just added in a third building
Trump: It’s a building that’s being built
Powell: It was built five years ago.

My hunch is that, as we saw with Lafayette Park, National Guard troops are not going to be as compliant as this administration thinks. It’s one thing to unleash cops consumed by warrior cop culture on neighborhoods. Quite another to send reservists who are also accountants, barbers, and teachers.

The one laudable thing George W. Bush did during his monstrous tour of awful was AIDS drugs to Africa. It's his one redeeming legacy, and as his project gets destroyed, he remains silent.
I think about that when people do a revisionist history of how he wasn't so bad, comparatively.

I'm listening to this interview right now and while I generally like Seder the running theme here is an angry rejection of dialectical reasoning and the idea that policy decisions can have tradeoffs.
This discussion between Sam Seder and Ezra Klein is a succinct distillation of the intra-left conversation about housing affordability.

Happy Mother's Day! The US has no federally mandated parental leave, which means we're the only nation among 40 of the world's richest countries that doesn't mandate paid leave for new mothers. Our nation runs on the backs of working class mothers and we owe them a colossal debt.

It's darkly funny how little attention the masked secret police receive. Last year it seemed that the chattering class would never shut up about masked undergraduates. Perhaps they saw the encampments as more of a threat to their interests than the jackboots?
The masked ICE agents are in DC today, as rumored, whisking people off the street while covering their faces completely.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them.
