Important to remember that the right's goal isn't to turn you right, it's to bully, harass, and intimidate you into thinking that nothing matters. They want you overwhelmed and inactive, which they can't do if you leave their spaces. Calls to come back are invitations to despair. Reject them.

One of the great failures of contemporary political news coverage in a lot of media is the unspoken principle that no violation of norms or decency by Trump is really news, worthy of sustained attention, unless it also upsets people who love him. It isn't "not taking the bait"; it's sleepwalking.

Trump posted this without knowing Nick Reiner had been arrested. He posted it apparently assuming that one of his fans had murdered Rob Reiner. So if you want to know how Trump will react once his fans start murdering his enemies, now you know. He'll celebrate and blame his enemies.

Harvard’s Pricing Lab data shows that goods prices – which were previously declining – have been on the rise since Trump started his trade war. Even domestic goods prices rose, though by a smaller amount.

On a personal note.
I knew Rob Reiner & his lovely wife Michelle. One of my happiest memories was chatting with them in their kitchen, making sandwiches talking politics, and movies.
They were kind people. Extraordinarily normal and very, very kind.
I love & miss them already.
Life is short.

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

Guns are the #1 killer of youth.
Yet just as America suffered a mass shooting on a university campus, Trump's DOJ soft launched a new office — housed in the civil rights division — dedicated to furthering Second Amendment rights and squashing gun violence prevention efforts.
This is a deadly step.

This is an essential and thorough examination of Stephen Miller, the man and his thinking.
@gregsargent.bsky.social lays out in riveting detail how Miller’s Western supremacist, anti-cosmopolitan worldview defines his politics.

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.
We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read:
