Too many people have forgotten what it means to be an American, to live by American values. Some of us are too far gone and will never be back. But today the rest of us should read this - and remember.

America is over 334 million people. The idea you’re gonna run all of this like 13 colonies subsidized by enslaved Black labor is dumb. We need to keep pointing this out since it’s the core of conservatism. www.oliverexplains.com/p/the-right-...

In 2023, Vought talked about building a “shadow” Office of Legal Counsel to help Trump 2.0 steamroll internal opposition:

“We want to be able to shut down the riots and not have the legal community or the defense community come in and say, ‘That’s an inappropriate use of what you’re trying to do.’”

I can do that
If we could make a pact to henceforth refer to the Speaker of the House as Trump’s Little Johnson that would be great thx

And a football coach from Minnesota who said you don't have a playbook if you're not going to use it.
Wasn’t there some woman from California who was running for something who told us this was going to happen
President-elect Trump and his allies disavowed the conservative Project 2025 during the election.

Now, his transition team is turning to Project 2025 to help staff the next administration, sources tell @nbcnews.com.

No? Really? 🤔
President-elect Trump promised voters that he would cut energy and electricity prices in half within 18 months of taking office. But energy industry experts noted that a president has limited influence on how much Americans pay at the pump, and even less leverage when it comes to electricity prices.
Trump Promised to Halve Energy Costs in 18 Months. Experts Have Doubts.
A president has little control over global oil markets, economists say.

“The main question I was looking to answer when I started reading Hegseth’s collected works was whether he would follow a Trump command to shoot peaceful protesters. After having read them, I don’t think he would even wait for the order.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Donald Trump’s Most Dangerous Cabinet Pick
Pete Hegseth considers himself to be at war with basically everybody to Trump’s left, and it is by no means clear that he means war metaphorically.

Buttigieg Warns Trump-Panicked Democrats, ‘We Cannot Be Mesmerized’

I look forward to a time when we can all assume that the folks we depend on to simply manage things are...half as smart as Pete Buttigieg.
Pete is correct, as he usually is.

The vibes shift fast: Republicans already feeling “happier” about “the economy”

There has to be a counternarrative that connects their policies with some accountability, or they will always think “Dems = money for Those Other People”
Dems need to get on TikTok today ✨ blaming Trump and Vance for the coming recession

The Stanford Faculty Senate upheld their 2020 censure of Scott Atlas.

“He denied basic established facts about COVID, and he did it from a position of high official prominence" while also threatening a defamation suit to chill faculty speech critical of him.
