Looking back in 3 years, we will tell ourselves how obvious it was that trumpers can’t leave office because of all the crimin’. It would be great for us all to acknowledge NOW that it is going to happen and create some paths on how we are going to deal with it all.
The good AND bad news is that Dems seem disinclined to do Merrick Garlandism all over again. But that means they’re going to have to prepare for a plot against America that’ll make the subversions of 2016, 2020, and 2024 seem quaint. www.offmessage.net/p/maga-disar...

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”
He will continue teaching.

For thirty years I worked in the post-Soviet successor states in Central Asia and observed over and over again precisely the cycle that Bill Kristol describes. Corruption leads to authoritarianism, directly. The path is utterly predictable.

When I was an organizer talking with folks about forming a union, a common refrain was people wanted management to respect them and their work. I would explain that we can’t change the bosses heart, but we could build enough power to force them to pretend.

These heinous criminals will do more crimes instead of giving up power and going to jail. They feel no shame or desire to repent. They’ll keep crimin’ until someone forces them to stop. Ultimately, the military. In a poor move, a bunch of idiots put the criminals in charge of the military.

Man who got used and abused by right wingers pleads with others to try the same thing. He’s the guy in Birdbox forcing peoples’ eyes open
My pitch to progressives would be that you need to think long and hard about how awful — racist, transphobic, a climate denier whatever else — you think I am and then assimilate the information that I’m a Clinton / Biden / Harris voter and Democrats need to win the votes of people way to my right!

I think Republican politicians are counting on conservative institutions like churches to feed conservative voters during the shutdown. The first time poor people come to get a meal, they will see smiles. But by the second or third they will see sneers and condescension.

Among many ways that we can predict there can't possibly be "reconstruction" at the end of this Civil War is, how the hell do you have anything resembling public health when a cult the size of Florida and Texas wants children to die of polio?
Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

I genuinely think Ned is smarter than I am, he's certainly a better writer so my "critique" of this POV is mild but IMO important --
National political journalism is irreparably tainted by many things, but one major factor is the existence of the U.S. Senate.
Spend 5 minutes in DC, you'll see it.

For sure some of the legacy media outlets are downplaying the protests because they’re aligned with Trump, but I think an even bigger factor is how many elite journalists have a patrician disdain for the idea that politics can happen in the streets and not just the CNN green room.

My worry is that with Dem leadership not in sync with this passionate outcry, another group will try (and succeed) in peeling away some of this crowd. Dem leadership needs to radicalize like yesterday
There is a bias among pundits to eye-roll and dismiss Dem opposition to Trump (such as the No Kings protests) as predictable. But in terms of raw numbers (both events and participants), what we're seeing is much bigger than e.g. the Tea Party movement was. Dems are a high entropy system right now

Here is what I expect Republicans to do:
- remove subsidies (done)
- remove barriers to interstate insurance (removing state regulatory protections at same time)
- allow horrible insurance plans with pre-existing conditions exclusions, lifetime caps, etc.
