One of the most striking developments of the last two decades or so is that everyone on the right -- media, politician, judge, cop, pastor -- has started sounding basically the same, ie, like an unhinged blogger. They're all in the same bubble now, w/ the same shibboleths, using the same vocab.
In an unhinged dissent in our Texas redistricting victory, a GOP appointed judge seems to believe that George Soros and I did...well, I'm not sure what...but he is very mad. Bigly.

Ah yes. The sequel to the blockbuster hit "I can't show you my tax returns because I'm under audit."
Bondi on the Epstein investigations that Trump demanded: "We're not gonna say anything else on that because now it is a pending investigation in SDNY"

It's really weird to see people like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, who once had sweet corporate gigs, have to turn up the creep knob to compete with a generation of personalities that started with an iPhone and a mental disorder.

Thou shalt replace Chuck Schumer with Chris Van Hollen, who personally went to El Salvador to find Kilmar. That’s the kind of courage we need right now.

When you push people into hardship, you push them into activism. Keep it up, GOP…between SNAP and driving up the cost of everything, you’re radicalizing a voting bloc you’ll never control.

I'm proud to have worked in Kenya alongside USAID experts who supported its democratic parliament. Meanwhile, USAID health experts like Atul Gawande were helping build a public health system that saved thousands of lives. But no more. And children are dying. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

The endgame of the disinformation and media capture we've been enduring has arrived. Bad info needs to only influence a handful of judges to profoundly change the world.

I spent some time spelunking in the footnotes of the Oregon National Guard litigation and came to the horrible conclusion that we're watching the record decay in real time under the weight of a right-wing influencer circus www.theverge.com/policy/81340...
Influencers have fractured reality in Portland
Right-wing content creators managed to successfully brand the Portland police as ‘antifa.’

I've said it before and I'll say it again. There is no such thing as a decent Trump supporter. You cannot be a good person and support this cruel criminal regime. Did your mom vote for him? She's a piece of shit. Did your kids vote for him? They are pieces of shit. NO EXCEPTIONS.
