I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Same goes for public schools, colleges, and universities.
the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Franklin uttered the phrase on this very date (September 17), the last day of the Constitutional Convention, in 1787
"A republic, if you can keep it"

It truly cannot be restated enough that earlier this year Trump pardoned everyone involved with J6, the largest event of political violence in the US in my lifetime. They have absolutely no credibility here and deserve to be confronted with this fact whenever they're in public.
Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.

Something about the Kirk "practice politics the right way" that I don't get is that the debates Kirk and others have held seem mostly designed to create viral content, either by himself, TPUSA, or the left wing creators who join him. None of this actually has ever "solved" anything in America.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

I’d think what you’d want during a highly volatile, politically polarized time marked by violence is a president who can appeal to our common values and humanity and inspire calm and unity, rather than promising revenge.

If you cared about the collective well-being of the country, that is

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

maybe I'm weird but i wouldn't be proud of an ideology that consigned my son to death so billionaires could get tax cuts
In @nytopinion.bsky.social “My son’s life depends on government assistance,” writes Rachel Roth Aldhizer. “Recent cuts to Medicaid at both the federal and state levels mean millions of families like mine could soon be at a loss for how to care for our disabled loved ones.”

Reminder, again, that, yes, while the DOGE-ing was juvenile & clueless, it is vitally important to remain focused on the fact that these people need to be arrested, prosecuted, & sent to jail for a very long time for illegally & unconstitutionally dismantling the federal government.

This is *Very Literally* the guy who wrote the “first the came for” poem. A self-described antisemite who supported Hitler until the regime took over the church. He got thrown into a camp because he objected. And then he wrote a poem that said “oh shit I never thought the leopards would eat my face”
The same “allies” who are fine throwing trans people under the bus would have been the same people saying “well, they’re only going after Jews, I don’t like the nazis BUT-“ and those are allies nobody needs.

Conservatism is the deeply held belief that you, a random asshole parachuting into any conversation, are so unmatched in your genius that you instinctively know more than any expert could hope to.

Solar engineers forgot about sunsets until Doug arrived; they sob, now, as they realize the mistake.
Burgum: "When the sun goes down, you have a catastrophic failure called sunset and there's no solar energy produced, and yet we're subsidizing these things that are intermittent, unreliable, and expensive. We've gotta get back to base load."
