Whether it’s Pete Buttigieg learning to speak eight languages or Donald Trump successfully identifying a giraffe, there’s plenty of intellectual accomplishments on both sides of the aisle.

The structure of Federalism and separation of powers is brilliant and worth preserving, but unfortunately it requires a critical mass of serious, well informed citizens to maintain. No power structure ever devised can resist a stampede of idiots.

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.

There is no journalistic task more imperative than getting eyes inside this process. The kind of thing historians wait for archives of dictatorships to open, when figuring out how the REAL nightmare begin.

@msnbc.com here’s a freebie for any of your journalists:

Secretary Hegseth, why is the removal of a statue commemorating a traitor who lost the Civil War infinitely more upsetting to you than the sudden and unilateral demolition of 1/2 of The White House?
October 23, 2025 at 11:08 PM
@chrislhayes.bsky.social why is no one covering the White House demolition in the context of Republicans fighting to keep or in some cases even reinstall confederate statues in order to “preserve our history”. Seems like an easy layup. Hard to argue statue thing wasn’t racism at this point.

Not hearing a peep about this. Seems important. ICE can’t point missiles away from the US as far as I know. So they must plan to point them in the opposite direction of away from the US. Maybe a discussion you can get started.
1. ICE has sharply increased its spending on weapons in 2025, according to an analysis of federal gov't data by Popular Information.

Records reveal ICE has increased spending on “small arms" — a category that includes guns, armor, chemical weapons, and explosives — by 700% compared to 2024 levels

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.
