Horrific attack on Charlie Kirk. The combination of toxic rhetoric and ready access to firearms makes it frankly surprising that this doesn't happen more often.

1. You may have noticed something. I used to talk about the president’s dementia pretty regularly, but haven’t in months. That’s because I’ve lost faith. I used to believe the Washington press corps would see the plainly obvious. I no longer believe that. The hypocrisy is too baked in.

I don’t believe you mentioned the young Latina behind Gavin Newsom’s social media strategy, Camille Zapata. More often than not, it’s women—and women of color—who’ve had the courage to stand up to the 10k gold plated whiny dictator.

29. Donald Trump wants people to see the media through the lens of us-versus-them. Newsom is flipping that around, and I’m all for it.
Indeed, I think he should drop the other shoe.

26. And while all that is happening, Newsom is demonstrating what real strength is by calling on voters to defend their democracy while the president sends his goons to silence him. To be honest, Newsom *could not have bought* better staging of the message he was trying to send.

21. Second, Newsom is *counting* on the press corps to be exactly what it is: amoral attention-seekers happy to play along with Trump’s authoritarianism if it’s convenient, even if that means sacrificing their credibility by holding the Ds to the highest standard while holding the Rs to none.

20. Newsom is playing two levels at the same time: calling for America to wake up before a despot completely takes over as well as mercilessly mocking said despot by using the same cognitively impaired tenor and tone.

We can't ignore facts:
A concentration camp is a facility where large numbers of people, often political prisoners or members of minority groups, are detained without legal process, typically under harsh conditions.
Just because people cringe at the word doesn't make it false.

It's nice to know the only thing really holding up this bill from passing is that some people think it doesn't cut enough and not that they really care if millions lose healthcare and food. All so ICE can go on a nationwide rampage and mega corporations can do another round of buybacks.

yes. the democratic donor base is the educated PMC, employees in public unions, and older upper-middle class/lower-level rich libs. the GOP donor base is ~300 rich cranks.
one development which people have simply not noticed over the past four years is that the republican party does not have donors anymore

The President is illegally targeting *US citizens* for deportation.
It was once a concern dismissed as overwrought. Now he says it explicitly and publicly.

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."
