They have taken weaponized incompetence to unprecedented levels.
once again, i think electoral college maps shape people's sense of political reality in incredibly destructive ways
It gets crazier. Source in Maryland Gov Wes Moore's admin tells me they informed Trump officials that the ailing counties were in Appalachia, and the Trump people were surprised to hear this!

Trump has done what the British did to Washington in 1814, has depicted himself doing what Japan in 1941 did to Pearl Harbor, and has demanded we pay him wartime reparations.
He is at war with the United States—with all of us.

The Charlottesville Verdict
The Unite the Right rally was a wake-up call to the resurgence of white supremacist violence in the United States, but the legal system's ability to provide justice in its aftermath has been mixed.

Bass: We just heard that the administration’s experiment failed. The raids that were happening in Los Angeles—the random pulling and snatching of people off the streets based on the language they spoke, their appearance, where they work—the court has said that can no longer happen.

He was a central engine of my love for the Cubs when we moved to Chicago in 1994.

🎯🧵The New Deal made America great. Even Eisenhower tax rates kept it going. It's the McCarthy/Trump paranoid worldview that's radically opposed to what made America great. Mamdani just wants to make sure everyone's included. EVERY Democrat should be on board with that. Every AMERICAN should.
Most of the ideas mentioned in this article—higher minimum wage, free tuition at public colleges, higher taxes on the rich—are not only popular now but were realities in the past, including in NYC, during the booming postwar years, when America was “great.”/1

This is happening because Stephen Miller demanded 3,000 deportations PER DAY.
How can we let our people be terrorized like this?
How can we let masked thugs...secret police...abduct people off the streets of our cities?
This is madness & we must push back now & with massive force because if it can happen to them, it can happen to you!
Call Congress at 202-224-3121.

Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."
