Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

The DOGE Purge Isn’t About Efficiency—It’s an authoritarian tactic. I wrote a more in depth piece on the empirical evidence showing how liberal-leaning agencies are being disproportionately targeted and how this mirrors authoritarian strategies seen in Hungary and Turkey.

Donald Trump's budget director Russell Vought is the architect not just of Project 2025 but of the past 36 chaotic days of Trump 2.0. We need to dig into Vought's philosophy of "radical constitutionalism" and where it could lead the nation.

Trump and his lawyers embrace the logic of dictatorship
"The administration's arguments boil down to this: if Trump wants to do it, he gets to. Their stance is that laws are irrelevant in the face of Trump’s wishes and the courts can’t stop him”
