We have memory-holed the entire coronavirus experience, as if it never happened. And we can’t understand why everything’s so weird. And I mean everything
So many haven't even processed the moral injury and the wild gaps in perception and cognition and disinformation that erupted all over our lives everywhere over and over.

A quick reminder of what today is really about: Russia threatens Europe. America is gone. It will not save us. Britain and Europe must work closely and with trust, on defense and everything else, in order to counter the Kremlin threat.

The current President is taking bribes from anyone who’ll offer them but I’m so glad Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper are not letting that distract them from the fact that the former President who just got diagnosed with cancer is also old.

It’s amazing how Trump labels the bloated Republican budget that explodes the deficit a ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ and so many media outlets now routinely use that term in their headlines & stories. Foreign leaders find Trump easy to manipulate, and Trump find media easy to manipulate.

The extra-extreme members of the House Budget Committee voted "present" tonight so that the Medicaid-cuts-to-fund-tax-giveaways-for-the-rich bill could pass out of committee 17-16.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.
