The ones who did pay attention to Project 2025 often slid right into denial. Number 47 fueled this denial with his own public rejection. He claimed not to know anything about it—a repudiation that was ludicrous on its face given that his running mate wrote the introduction. //bit.ly/4gyi2nj

People warned Americans what Project 2025 contained but got a lukewarm reaction. The document was too long, complicated, and unbelievable for most Americans.

Consider the women of MAGA and most especially Mar-a-Lago. They have a similarity of appearance: artificial, glossy, and hypersexualized. Who makes he decision for this cosmetic surgery? Him or her? ttps://bit.ly/4onrgH2 @bostonhistory.bsky.social @mollyploofkins.bsky.social @waposhpyii.bsky.social

I am very much in favor of removing limited liability from executives earning over, say $200K per year.

If you want to earn the big money then you should be liable for your decisions.

The penalty for corporate crime should not be an accounting line-item.

In the recent documents about how Donald Trump knew Ghislaine Maxwell was “poaching” children from jobs at Mar-a-Lago no one is asking a simple question: Why were they at the President's house in the first place? bit.ly/4igOD3G @lincolnproject.us @krassenstein.bsky.social @mollyploofkins.bsky.social

Amid everything else I had almost forgotten that even without a pardon, Trump has offered Ghislaine Maxwell amenities unexplainable by anything but some sort of quid pro quo.
Raskin on Ghislaine Maxwell: "The fact she was able to be transferred to a prison camp where no sex offenders had ever been allowed to enter before, much less live there, is an indication they've got some kind of meeting of the minds about what Trump can provide to her & what she can provide to him"

Does the Speaker of the House know what's going on in the country?

It's not clear that he does, as Mike Johnson's communication strategy seems to rely heavily on being unaware.

When faced with questions he should be able to answer, he has a reliable response: "I don't know."

Raju: Last week, you were very critical of Biden, you said he didn’t even know who was pardoning. On 60 minutes, Trump admitted not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire guilty of money laundering. Is that also concerning?

Johnson: I don’t know anything about it.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
