staring straight into the camera and lying. just a despicable person and a poor excuse for a national leader.
Vance: “People on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence. This is not a both sides problem. If both sides have a problem, then one side has a much bigger and malignant problem and that is the truth.”

SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.

Stephen Miller is completely full of shit, and he knows it. He's selling hatred of cities to people who do not live in cities and are scared of them.

Modern Republicans are incapable of competent governance. They are unaware that it even exists. They think politics is just reality tv, an exchange of rhetorical volleys for entertainment purposes. They have no awareness that real lives are involved.
Q: Is there anything you think FEMA did wrong in its response to to the Texas floods that we can do differently next time?
Trump FEMA administrator: I can't see anything that we did wrong

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

Goldman: "The notion that bc he won an election that he should be able to ignore the Constitution or violate our laws is preposterous. Every president wins an election. That does not mean they get to just make up whatever laws they want ... Donald Trump does not get to decide what the law is."

“Putting a hat on a hat” is literally a term actual comedians use to describe something as trying so hard to be funny it is no longer funny.
"They say I wear a lot of hats," Elon Musk jokes in cabinet meeting. He grabbed a red "Gulf of America" hat from the cabinet room table and put it over his black DOGE hat.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

An excerpt from the @hcrichardson.bsky.social newsletter today. All Americans deserve better. Left or right, we deserve expertise and well informed leaders. Knowledge is being stripped from us at every turn since Jan 20. Everyone should be outraged. Sadly, this is just one of so many examples.

This ridiculous deflection is such a non sequitur.
Due process is what distinguishes us as a people from the monsters who do commit heinous crimes. If there’s no due process, we’re a society that can just lynch people on an accusation, with no need to get it right.

“Governor Trudeau” is part of the Trump administration’s ethos of pathological insecurity. A weak person is constantly compelled to insult and belittle others, even allies, to show “strength.” An actually strong person isn’t. Bullies are weak, as are their sycophants.
