What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Journalists, please do not describe what happened at the White House today as a "spat", "heated exchange" or as Zelensky-Trump "going at each other". Zelensky was ambushed by Vance while very calmly explaining why Ukraine needs security guarantees and doesn't trust a ceasefire...

The Trump Playbook:
1. Manufacture a crisis.
2. Hype it up.
3. Pretend you solved it.
4. Declare yourself the victor.
5. Repeat.
Basically has our allies asking, “what bone do we throw this crazy idiot so he can parade around beating his chest saying he won?”
It’s all a farce.

Classic move: authoritarianism is about undoing checks and regulations that prevent elites' ability to plunder societies and treat people as assets to exploit.
Elon Musk called Wednesday for the elimination of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, one of the nation’s most powerful watchdog agencies, signaling it could be scrapped as part of a planned review of government spending ordered by President-elect Donald Trump.
