It's going to take a WPA level of commitment to un-fuck this country after Trump is gone.
It feels like there’s a thousand little things like this that will need to be corrected, and I hope someone is keeping track of them.

yea we do need to raise taxes substantially, but also a good reason for a stiffly progressive wealth tax is rich people own most of the debt
alright, here's just a back of the envelope calculation for why "just soak billionaires" won't actually solve the deficit.

fy2025 budget deficit was ~$1.8t. total us household net worth is ~$165 trillion (give/take). the 1% (n.b. not just billionaires) control roughly a third, so ~$55t. (1/2)
We are spending $1 trillion on debt service alone at this point, the fiscal crisis is here, and we gotta soak everybody up and down the scale to get out of it with our hair intact

Excellent example of the press losing its way. News outlets once "comforted the afflicted, afflicted the comfortable." Now they work for billionaires and investors to mock beleaguered travelers packed like rats.

Real journalists would do a story on the worst-behaved, predatory airlines of 2025.

I think it's really worth noting that literally ZERO mainstream media outlets were talking about Trump claiming a land strike on Venezuela until a few others and I noticed this post here on Sunday and started asking questions. That goes completely unacknowledged in coverage.
Trump says this December 26 in an interview with John Catsimatidis that the US destroyed a drug trafficking plant in Venezuela on Christmas Eve.

“They have a big plant. A building from where the boats leave. Two nights ago we hit them hard.”

Byron Donalds, the Black MAGA candidate for FL governor who romanticized the Jim Crow era, now faces racist attacks from his white supremacist GOP primary opponent who has repeatedly called him a slave.

The Trump-loving congressman is running for governor against an opponent who has continually referred to him as a slave. And he’s getting a taste of his own medicine.

She's not standing for liberal democracy, she's a rat fleeing the ship and trying to set up her own post-MAGA neofascist movement.

I'm just still so puzzled by people who think they could ignore the rise of a fascist regime to focus on policy. Under a dictator, you get the policies HE wants. He doesn't care what you want or what the People want. He doesn't have to care. That's what the troops on the streets are for.

If the Republican Party, and Trump at its head, had seen themselves as malign stewards of the Leviathan that is the modern American government, and had tried to bend it more gradually to their will, they may have been more successful. But they couldn’t do that because they can’t do that.
The past year has been terrifying. Really, the past two—I lost a lot of sleep in 2024 over the promises of the Trump campaign, promises they immediately sought to make good on. But at the end of the first year of his would-be dictatorship, I am calling it: we are going to win.

Jan Crawford’s Face the Nation comments attacking a “narrative” of Supreme Court corruption as “dangerous” was both a harsh accusation and completely lacking in specifics.

As such, confronting her comments is like nailing Jell-O to a wall.

Nonetheless, at Law Dork, I tried.

On Face the Nation, CBS News's chief legal correspondent went after Supreme Court critics as "dangerous." And yet, her court defense was completely lacking in specifics.

While I agree with the Trump administration's move to discontinue the penny, they should have issued some guidance to businesses on how to round penny transactions.

Every business is making up its own convoluted rules and it's potentially going to be a mess.
