Gavin Newsom is exactly right, Trump is doing everything we told you he would do and more. It's time to wake the hell up, America. Authoritarianism is here.

The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you

Part of how we got fascism in the United States is that a bunch of Silicon Valley oligarchs lost their collective mind in 2020 and radicalized into techno-fascists on group chats. Marc Andreesen is the epicenter of this shift.

The political puzzle Noah points to here—why are Republicans sabotaging policy that benefits their constituents?—is because Rs are doing politics in the friend-enemy mode where harming enemies at a cost to oneself is worthwhile, & Dems still think of it in pluralist terms of interest & compromise.
One possibility is that you try to frame your policies in ways that the GOP will feel it is in their interest to support. But that strategy has been ineffective so far. The IRA gave most of its money to Red states; the Farm Bill married SNAP to GOP subsidies. This should work! And yet. (5/7)

Which federal crime did the President commit with this statement?
Was it 26 usc 7217, which prohibits the President or his aides from directing any tax enforcement action?
Or was it 26 usc 6103, which prohibits any government official from disclosing an ongoing tax proceeding?
Maybe both!
