a cloture vote for the way-harder-to-undo-than-an-executive-order federal anti-trans sports ban is now set for monday. that means there's more time to make calls.
no on cloture means it doesn't get a vote. the GOP needs 7 dems to advance it.
please call. there is *so* much evil downstream of this.

Also worth noting that the public consistently overestimates spending for some of these things, such as foreign aid. If you tell them what percentage is actually spend, they tend to adjust their opinions.

Part of why American government is crumbling is because the most powerful interests have sided with the destruction of their own foundations. Big Pharma's lobbying arm, PhRMA, has issued not one word about the Trump admin's assault on NIH.
Why not? Who knows, maybe they just prefer fascism. 🤷♂️

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million.

18F is *precisely* what Musk and team claim should exist within government. But when his team found it, they destroyed it, because it is evidence that government works well (can’t have that!), and because like Zelensky, 18F didn’t bend the knee.

The top 10% of earners now account for 50% of spending in the US, up from 40% in 1990. That means affordability problems will be slower to show up in spending numbers. It’s also, of course, evidence that American prosperity is increasingly unequally shared.

This, so much. If an abuser wants to yell at you, even the very act of not giving them a reason enrages them.
Re Zelensky at the WH, yet again, feminists and trauma/abuse- informed thinkers are years ahead of political analysts.
There is no acceptable affect, no way to charm an abuser, and no “deal” other than playing very very dead that would change how Trump and his flying monkey Vance behaved.

Trump just fired General C.Q. Brown, the highest-ranking Black person in the military. It’s the latest in a string of prominent Black people to be purged. When Trump lied during the campaign that immigrants were “taking Black jobs,” he was actually jealous because he wanted to take Black jobs.

It is 2025 A.D. The Nazis lost in elections in Germany today despite attempts to buy it by the American King and his edgelord Cromwell, and the winning political coalition is already talking about the US as an enemy to democracy. Wild wild wild.

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.
This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.
Just filed an article about the upcoming German elections (out on Sunday) and what strikes me is how timid much of the institutional pushback against the far-right has been. Some people have distinguished themselves but for the most part it’s just been really complacent - really disappointing.
