Wait until the New York Times learns about the Electoral College.
They Wanted a Conservative State. They Might Get a Democratic Representative Instead.
The passage of Proposition 50, which redrew California’s congressional map, means that all of the state’s conservative north is likely to be represented by Democrats.

Millions of Americans are about to see their health care costs skyrocket, but instead of voting on my bill to save health care, the Republican Speaker sent the entire House home for the holidays.

In 1932, FDR was elected with 57.4% of the vote. He brought us the New Deal.
In 1964, LBJ was elected with 61.1% of the vote. He brough us the Great Society.
In 2025, Trump was elected with 49.8% of the vote. He's attempting to destroy everything FDR & LBJ built.
The rest is commentary.

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

Once you’re an American citizen, you are in fact free to spew venom or shower praise on your American ancestors, no matter how much the pathetic legal hacks rationalizing the MAGA madness might contort themselves.
There’s no two-tiered citizenship here and anyone who insists otherwise can get bent

So what he's saying here is that Roger Taney is part of that adoptive family which must be worshipped but Frederick Douglass and David Walker and and William Lloyd Garrison and other fantastic spewers of venom against the founders were not

We should ask why it’s so easy for terms and concepts like “Heritage American” and “Western Chauvinism” are met with earnest analysis and exploration while academic theory produced by Black scholars are summarily dismissed by people reading introductory texts if that.

Read the complaint. It's ridiculously weak. Doesn't even attempt to show actual malice. Repeatedly cites opinion statements as if they're factual.

The whole Make America Great movement claims to be nostalgic for the New Deal era in which Trump grew up, but they seek to undo the progressive taxation, labor-friendly policies, and robust welfare state (including social security, Medicare, investments in higher education) that lay at its core.

“Depleting tax revenues to pay for social insurance” is central to Trump’s vision—mainly by cutting taxes on the rich and corporations—alongside making workplaces less safe, workers less powerful, health care less affordable, & the environment more toxic because of cuts to lifesaving regulations.

I expect new tactics of election subversion from Trump's handlers in 2026. The midterms are important in themselves, but they will also be a training ground for a range of tactics ahead of 2028. Throw noodles at the wall, see what sticks, refine tactics and legal defenses before the big one in 2028.

As Hannah Arendt put it: "The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists." Undermining that distinction will be a lasting legacy of generative AI.

Supremacy wants to gain all the benefits of society without paying any natural costs, like fair competition.
This response to even the slightest leveling of the playing field demonstrates how committed to the supremacist notion we white folk still are.

My issue is that everyone wants legislation and assumes it will just all work. It won’t. Too many vested interests. Too much need for AI to make it all work, which will scare people and make them question it more.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
