Voters elected Trump to make them rich. He is doing everything but that, & they are responding as rationally as they ever do
No, trump voters did not "vote for" a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. This is the type of rhetoric they want you to use. It legitimizes them.
Most marginal voters voted for lower prices, and now that they see what Trump's doing with power, his approval is 39% www.gelliottmorris.com/p/many-trump...

gonna be honest I've mostly felt this way since BigBalls showed up. you don't consolidate an authoritarian state with BigBalls
I am well aware that they are and will continue to do massive damage to this country
but does it feel like they’re on a glide path to successful authoritarian consolidation anymore? I submit that it does not

Breaking news: Newly released documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate show that he appeared to be texting a member of Congress during a congressional hearing investigating Donald Trump, and that those texts may have influenced the lawmaker’s questions.

I have a prediction! It's "the Republican Party will get worse before it gets even worse"
I have no idea what will be the eventual consequence of what has been happening in the US over the past week except I will predict things will get a lot weirder.

Simultaneously ingratiating & exploiting & being exploited. The smiles help the knives slip in deeper
a notable thing in the Epstein correspondence is that Larry Summers is asking him to be a wingman, how to get girls, and so forth, at the same time as Larry Summers' wife is writing to him about Lolita and My Antonia.

NATURE'S METROPOLIS by William Cronon, & FREE SOIL, FREE LABOR, FREE MEN by Eric Foner. I cannot be other than what I am.
alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)

Partly because political staff/punditry/corporate PR flack is one of the revolvingest doors around! These are the people they've been around for their whole careers
the shamelessness emerges in part out of a DC/NY journalistic culture in which people are rarely fucking the people they *cover* but are often fucking *their staff.*.
Other examples exist but I do think Nuzzi is a prime candidate for the *media* figure who most exemplifies the total lack of shame in American elite culture circa 2025

Zohran is going to be mayor of New York City, he is not the boss of NYC-DSA. People should expect to see more of this

If you are trying to do progressive institutional politics, it is very much in your interest to put Larry Summers's name on your front page. So much of politics involves ensuring you've sufficiently reassured & massaged the egos of anyone who would derail what you're trying to do out of spite.
NEW: Before the recent Epstein disclosures, Larry Summers was poised to lead the economic policy plank for the Democrats' "Project 2029" effort at the Center for American Progress. He signed off on a housing policy paper CAP was prepping for next week.

James May is as constitutionally un-American as an Englishman could be, I would be more disturbed if he liked it
so @peark.es sent this and folks, we don’t win with our brits anymore. this asshat goes to texas, is given a bronco, drives it to buccees and complains that it’s bad on the road like “other off-roaders, although not like my range rover”

This is arguably an exercise in "what's popular is whatever Republicans approve of that Democrats don't entirely hate". But generally, yes, there is advantage in conveying to voters "we stood up for what's right, but not at the expense of hungry kids". That's not too complex for voters to understand

One way the shutdown deal might actually help Democrats
A plurality of voters approve of the deal to end the government shutdown. Democrats have an opportunity to claim they saved SNAP & other government programs, which could help repair the party's image

As far as I'm concerned the #1 failure of the AI industry/effort is that they clearly have no sectoral sense of how much they stand to gain or lose by ensuring growth of cheap solar & wind. They are too busy trying to race each other
In the global electrification race China is marching ahead.
The US and Europe risk falling behind clinging on to yesterday's technologies.

The underlying assumption of this idiocy is that there will always be an elite & the optimal society is that which has an optimal elite; any progressive politics would impose an intolerable elite of failures. I think it's safe to say Noah is entirely in the thrall of Silicon Valley-flavored reaction
As opposed to existing elites who KNOW it is their birthright🙄
These kind of amoralist insinuations are so funny because:
1) No aspirational egoist in the US would ever be stupid enough to hitch her wagon to socialism.
And
2) If anything self-righteous moralism is the real vice of the left.

I understand why people hate to see another cave, but if you want to prevent this the first thing you have to do is vote out Republicans. Republicans won in 2024 & this is fruit of that victory.

Turns out trying to pursue a "maximally woke" idea actually just gets you to "maximally antisocial" because the good ideas are mostly boring
my most woke opinion is that about 70% of the QTs of this are actually reactionary
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The Times really does have great reporters & they want to defend their work. But their editors are indefensible, their leadership is indefensible, & as long as that's true, that reporting talent is going to waste. Might even suggest that's a subtext here: I'm not seeing defenses of the organization.
the key problem here is that the threshold for "publishable info" is a moving target and it moves to Trump's benefit
As a former member of NYT’s finance team & the co-author of this story exposing the relationship between Epstein & Bill Gates as well as one on Epstein & JPMorgan, I am really frustrated to see people claiming that NYT sat on publishable info about Trump and Epstein 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/b...

That people can argue "hey I should be allowed to keep driving even though I've proven deadly menace, because that is the only way I can reasonably expect to provide for myself & my family" should be considered a national scourge on par with the opioid epidemic or childhood cancer.
It just needs to be way easier to lose your license and your car for reckless driving, because a few months of major societal disruption 5 years ago taught people that driving in such a way that kills others or themselves is nbd
so uhhhhh is anyone going to do anything about the epidemic of drivers just blasting through red lights these days? @timdonnelly.com investigates: nygroove.nyc/why-does-no-...
