When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.
This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

I wrote about Musk and this bureaucratic coup as plainly as I could. There's reporting in here & the particulars are overwhelming but what's happening is so clear: He's not trying to run the federal govt like a software company He's trying to turn it into a political weapon. (gift link)

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

If anyone thinks MAGA will turn against Trump because of higher prices due to tariffs, think again.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Democrats need to make short videos that are not fundraising trawls. No one will listen to you if every communication they come across is for fundraising.

Everyone should understand the strategy in the release of the J6 criminals: to create a violent cadre of loyal followers who owe everything to the Leader.

The main issue at stake in Pete Hegseth’s confirmation: would he follow an illegal order from Donald Trump to deploy the military against the civilian population? Yes, he would. He is beholden to his Leader, not the constitution. This is, in fact, the only reason Hegseth has been nominated.
