An evil man with no business in public office. the very antithesis of what a candidate for public office should be
Bannon, MTG, and Tucker will reshape MAGA into "America First" - all white nationalist but anti-AI and military intervention (until of course they find an excuse to bomb some countries)

Scoop: Bannon quietly making moves toward 2028 run
Publicly, however, he's calling for a third term for President Trump.

We need the best educated workforce in the world.
We need the best teachers in the world.
We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do.
No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

Why are we so ready to hand control over to something that isn’t capable of handling it. It’s a very sophisticated search engine/pattern recognizer/mimic. It’s not intelligent, and it certainly isn’t more intelligent than we are (except for a certain orange politician and his band of thieves).

These are precedented times. The cradle of liberty has witnessed the revolutionary spirit of generations of Bostonians. Boston has taken on tyrants before, and we’ll do it again.

Reading @pempem.bsky.social ‘s excellent How To Kill a City, and the account of what Mayor Abraham Beame and Richard Ravitch did in New York City in the 70s to strip city government to the bare bones and remake the city for the wealthy is chilling. It’s like the blueprint for what Trump is doing now

This is the biggest, underreported news right now. Republicans are trying to STEAL an election in North Carolina. Straight up. This is a test case for 2026 and 2028. They will never voluntarily give up power again.
Bombshell in North Carolina: the state's GOP-dominated Court of Appeals just sided with the GOP candidate in last year's supreme court race.
Their decision would toss roughly 60,000 ballots (!) that have been counted, & likely hand the election to GOP instead of incumbent Dem Justice who won it.
