Strange and darkly ironic that when, for the first time in their sorry history, Trump and MAGA actually do have a plan, rather than the concept of a plan, it's a plan for the destruction of our democracy.

“There are many, many, many agencies out there, and this is going to be coming down the pike on every amount of government spending,” said Senator Jim Risch, Republican of Idaho and the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. “Elections have consequences.” -- NY TImes.

I think the sentence "Elections have consequences" is one of the dumbest sentiments expressed currently in the English language. It means nothing. It is also invariably used by those in power who wish to tarnish our democracy.

Also noteworthy: the president is trying to fire the FEC’s Democratic chair when it is set to rule on dozens of complaints from the 2024 election — including complaints against Trump and Elon Musk (who spent almost $300M to support his campaign) and complaints Trump filed against Harris + the media
In the entire history of the bipartisan FEC, no president has ever removed a member from the opposing party without naming a successor recommended by that party’s congressional leaders. This is an extraordinary break from that history.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

"All of us should refuse to pretend that any of this is normal and that these voters are just woefully misunderstood and that if only the Democrats addressed their economic anxiety, they might vote differently." Roxanne Gay in the NY Times today. Yep.
