not an iron law or anything but basically every assassination attempt on a political figure over the last 20 years has turned out to be driven by a disturbed person with functionally illegible politics

In the days after last week's Minneapolis shooting, I've been continually haunted by the shooter's video and the nihilistic contagion that seems to spread in mass shooter fandom communities. I spoke to @alexbnewhouse.bsky.social about how to process this terrible phenomenon w/o helping perpetuate it
The Mass Shooters Are Performing for One Another
The goal of these attacks is to join a lineage of infamous killers.

Andy Beshear convinced Kentucky hillbillies that focusing on kids genitals is gross, there's zero reason for this lol
SCOOP: Sarah McBride and other Dems have discussed how the party must accept Ds with differing stances on trans rights to not alienate people
“We have to create more space in our tent,” she told me

Inside Democrats’ Reshuffling on Trans Issues
Democrats are talking about how to handle transgender rights politically, after infighting and flailing over the issue in the last year. “We have to create more space in our tent,” said Rep. Sarah McB...

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point.
The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math.
Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

the thing about “democrats should take popular cultural positions” is that what constitutes popular is a function of an interaction between the public and elites. if a faction of elites start screaming about a vulnerable minority and another faction says they have a point, this shapes the public.
In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular."
"You can go right to heck. I don’t think I will lose re-election based on you screaming at me"

grotesque on its face and then on top of that the idea that our secretary of defense’s lifestyle is any of those three things…
Major news:
Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth.
It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle"
I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades.
Shameful.
