The problem isn't that we can't talk to each other
The marketplace has heard the ideas
Large supermajorities reject them
Yet our anti-democratic political institutions allow the 20-25% that like those ideas to capture & control all the institutions

CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other.

Just a reminder that Trump has, on camera, bragged about walking in on Miss Teen USA contestants changing and explained his 17-year-old daughter asked him not to “date” girls younger than her.
I’m not sure what’s true in the Epstein Files, but when you recall those facts it all seems plausible

To add to this, Miller is most likely lying, experts on CECOT have said the guys with face tattoos have likely been incarcerated for years; ie they are not the ones the administration deported. bsky.app/profile/bgru...

It's a weird world when dutifully regurgitating a bunch of carefully curated information that the world's richest man gave you is "fearless journalism," but reporting on how the government is kidnapping innocent people and sending them overseas to be tortured is "not moving the ball forward."

It’s possible they’re incompetent.
However, DOJ attys, and their chiefs, have a lot of experience redacting files. They have software for it. They have procedures to check that it’s done properly. This is more likely to be malicious compliance—after all, the law requires near complete disclosure.

Never forget, we are a nation founded on ideals, but we are also a nation of bullies. No matter how many times they say it, we’ve never been a Christian nation.
It was hard to convince Americans torture is wrong as a moral principle during Bush's term, and that was with the debate about whether torture makes us safer. I'm afraid for a portion of Trump's base, that calculation matters less. Idea of torturing undocumented immigrants may even bring pleasure.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.
Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.

At least six career staff were placed on leave after DHS opened an investigation into whether they misled the agency’s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, into taking the test.
