Jen Rubin: Mike Johnson Calls No Kings Protestors ‘Terrorists’ open.substack.com/pub/contrari... #MAGA #Mendacity #MikeJohnson
Aside from their baseless legal maneuvering, the MAGA cult’s freakout evidences how difficult they are finding it to maintain the big lies of 2025: blue cities are awash in violence, the government is benignly attempting to keep order, and their white Christian nationalist base is under siege. Right-wing media propagandists have so little material that they have to recycle old video to keep Trump’s pretext alive.

Jen Rubin: A Nobel Prize for Trolling? open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
In all likelihood, Nobel folks did not set out to troll Trump. But if you are going to celebrate peace—real peace, and the democracy it depends upon—alongside the keys to economic growth (free trade, scientific discovery, dynamic and free societies), then you are going to find yourself sounding like the retort to MAGA authoritarian, know-nothingism.

Jen Rubin: Words & Phrases We Could Do Without
Removing Trump is the only way to get rid of real ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’
open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
First and foremost, no president has ever used his office to rack up anything close to the estimated $5B Trump has hauled in for himself, selling everything from tacky gold sneakers to crypto. He has mastered the art of trading on access and enticing foreigners to pony up big bucks (and even an airplane). The most pro-corruption president in history also has stopped enforcement of foreign corruption, crypto fraud and other white collar crimes.

Austin Sarat: The danger of letting a delusional president send troops to American cities open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Portland, Ore., is not on fire. It is not in the throes of an out-of-control, anarchist mob. And it does not need federal troops patrolling its streets to keep citizens safe.

Jennifer Rubin: ‘New numbers’ are lies.

contrarian.substack.com/p/words-and-...
“All new numbers,” boasted Donald Trump last week in the Oval Office, showing off brightly colored charts, the economic equivalent of the Sharpie-edited hurricane map from his first term. Whatever “data” (unpublished and unverified, the press duly noted) they rely on, Trump’s “new numbers” (like “alternate facts”) cannot be taken seriously. The real numbers don’t lie.

Why Musk flopped - The Boston Globe www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/18/o... #Vaporware #AreWeOnMarsYet?
By early January, Musk was no longer quite so cocksure. A reduction of $2 trillion, he said, would be the “best-case outcome.” In March, he told an interviewer that DOGE would deliver $1 trillion in spending cuts by the end of May. By the time he attended Trump’s April 10 Cabinet meeting, Musk said he was anticipating savings of only $150 billion.
