There's a media blackout on the FBI's new enemies list and cash fund for snitching on people harboring things like "anti-Americanism."

What little coverage its gotten has been laughably bad:

Nope. Doomer nostalgia about a fake past in which "all families were single earners & they all owned homes!" is the reactionary sentiment. Telling the truth is always better for the left.

One of the most dramatically underreported aspects of Trump 2.0 is his ultra-corrupt direct interventions in business. Handing companies to his friends, taking chunks of private companies for the sake of doing businesses, granting tariff exemptions as favors. He’s crushing the rules-based economy.

BRENNAN: When Trump says "affordability is a con job," his approval on the economy is down to 36%. Don't you need to show you feel the pain?

Himes: "I think it's really important this video by made public ... it's important people see what it looks like when the full force of the US military is turned on two guys who are clinging to a piece of wood and about to go under just so they have a visceral feel for what it is we're doing"

In this Tom Cotton speculates that one of the shipwrecked men “taking off his tshirt” was a hostile act that required his execution by missile from miles away.

One of the most insane, sickening things I’ve ever heard from a US leader
WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?

TOM COTTON: They were sitting or standing on top of a capsized boat. They weren't floating helplessly in the water

Russia wants the EU to collapse because it’s a military rival.

It needs a pretext for getting rid of the EU that isn’t territorial expansion, though.

So it advances the idea that the EU isn’t democratic (as if Russia was).

The richest man in the world falls for it hook, line, and sinker.
This is so perfect. No one have any doubts at this point about what Elon Musk really represents.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

It's really frustrating that a lot of the media just sort of frames the Trump admin as "wading into a hot debate over trans issues that have roiled american politics" when it's like, clear that they are motivated by a desire to demean trans people

Once again: reactionary nostalgia is the most powerful emotional undercurrent of the age, and it always pulls to the right. The left-of-center is aware of this and embarrassed of it, but still wants to join the fun, so it's engineered vague "affordability" complaints, that amount to the same thing.

If you masterminded war, crimes or genocide, if you betrayed the nation from a position of higher authority, what else are we supposed to do with you? Your crimes must be a lesson, and your fate needs to be written down irreversibly.

I mean, be honest with yourself. Does your notion that there's an "affordability crisis" come from you independently deriving the idea because your spending on food has increased 2% year over year, or is it because you've seen approximately 1000 writers and politicians you like and trust repeat it?

If Biden had said even 5% of this it would be regarded as a profound moment that stained the office, cast a shadow over his presidency, and probably constituted an existential political crisis. But Trump says it and everyone’s like “What a goof! Next, in the latest news about trade negotiations…”

“If you believe the MAGA postliberal project is real, then liberalism must understand MAGA is not a reaction to economic consequences or “elite failures,” but an affirmative preference for illiberalism.

Liberalism must stop apologizing. Stop excusing. And fight.”

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Leavitt: “The president has made it quite clear that if narco terrorists are trafficking illegal drugs toward the United States he has the authority to kill them”

[narrator voice]: He did not, in fact, have lawful authority to kill them…
Q: Was the initial order from Hegseth to kill everyone and did that come from President Trump?

LEAVITT: I would reject that Hegseth ever said that. However, the president has made it quite clear that if narcoterrorists are trafficking illegal drugs toward the US he has the authority to kill them
