Megyn Kelly just shouting “FOOTBALL IS OURS” at Piers Morgan about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show is the perfect example of this moment in time. Put it in a time capsule and send it out into space.

The way to understand this, I think, is that everybody knows that when Trump or Vance says "illegals" he's not talking about legal status, but about social desirability, and so people think that that distinction goes both ways.
These people are just crazy. Trump gets up and says "MASS DEPORTATIONS MASS DEPORTATIONS MASS DEPORTATIONS" and they're like "he probably means a path to legal status for deserving immigrants"

at one point during the campaign jd vance was indignantly talking about haitian asylees in ohio and said "illegal aliens don't become legal just because the government says so" and i've been mad about it ever since, and this is the key to what he actually meant

The idea of a bill rendering people deportable for following religious law should make every Jew ill
Tomorrow I will testify before subcommittee of House Judiciary Committee against the proposed "Preserving a Sharia-Free America Act," which would authorize exclusion/deportation of all or most non-citizen Muslim immigrants. My written testimony posted here: reason.com/wp-content/u...

Chris Rufo doesn't have a career outside of being a "culture warrior." This is his movement. He made his bed. Now he gets to lie in it.

one thing that has always confused me about these hypos where the House refuses to recognize Dem winners—the House isn't a continuing body, and it wouldn't be the current House that would be seating anyone. it's the incoming House. www.vox.com/politics/478...

What do you figure a typical work day on the moon is?
I'm thinking get up, replace some air filters, measure the moon rocks to make sure they haven't moved, spy on the nation's enemies, answer that day's Moon Sphinx riddle, maybe press some buttons for an hour.
Rest of the day is yours, really.

Regardless of what you think of Trump's policies, "Panican" is absolutely elite political communication on the merits. Of course everyone instantly grasps what it means and it just looks so good on the page, but furthermore it's also very easy to imagine how someone would say it aloud.

it's one thing to reference Mike Tyson, it's another thing to do when you, like RFK Jr, have been credibly accused of sexual assault and seemingly admitted it to the press

one of the dynamics that affected a lot of the unraveling of the USSR was that gorbachev wanted to devolve power from the center and the republics were ready-made political unit for this purpose, but russia was half the USSR's population and 3/4 of its territory so things got real weird/bad
Like Imperial Germany or the USSR, it cannot really work as a federation because one part is bigger than all the other put together, which ends irritating both sides depending on whether you emphasise the centre or the autonomy
