"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

This is just disgusting and so Narcissistic it’s not even funny. This Jackass can’t muster up empathy for his own fucking child. I actually lost a child almost 13 years ago. It’s not funny and I’d give my life for hers in an instant. What a selfish, little, insecure, wanna be Goebbels. #FMusk

I’m glad that 15% of the population controls 53% of the Senate. Consider this post and how much power the “informed electorate” of states like Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia hold over the rest of the country. Now ask where is the greatest concentration of MAGA? #FMAGA #FTrump

This is heartbreaking. These things are NOT normal. When is anyone going to do something? The only leverage we had was pissed away by @schumer.senate.gov and some other @senatedems25.bsky.social. Trump is flirting with the end of American Civil Rights. #underhiseye #senatedemocrats #notnormal
Zero due process.
This is the first 60 seconds of a propaganda video the president shared of accused “Venezuelan gang members” being taken to El Salvador.
Hard to watch, but we should all see what is being done in our name.

ICE tortured a German green card holder living in New Hampshire to get him to give up his green card. He had no active issues in court. This is not the first person from a democracy to have disappeared. @ec.europa.eu, you need to issue a travel warning, and you need to do it now.

Elon Musk wants the world to believe that the nimble tech sector has already figured out the keys to knowledge-worker productivity, and that those findings can be applied to the federal government. But that premise is faulty, Cal Newport writes.
The Hollow Core of Elon Musk’s Productivity Dogma
Silicon Valley has struggled to measure employees’ effectiveness. So how can Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency expect to fix the federal government?

A weak man who seems to be afraid of doing the Right thing in the face of losing power and oh my all that money. George Washington once spoke about the presidency as an office that seeks the man and not the man seeking the office. I think he may have been talking about any office.
“On the day of the vote, several senior aides to Mr. Trump and people close to Mr. Hegseth said they thought Mr. Tillis was too weak to hold out.”

As Trump Threatened a Primary, a G.O.P. Holdout on Hegseth Flipped
Before Senator Thom Tillis voted to confirm Pete Hegseth as defense secretary, he worked with accusers to make the case against him in a bid to get G.O.P. leaders to scrap the vote altogether.
