There's zero chance Trump or anyone in his administration can pass the current test.
The Trump administration says more difficult questions, and other changes to the naturalization process, will ensure only immigrants who are "fully assimilated" will gain citizenship.

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

2024 was an anti-incumbent year around the globe largely because of forces beyond any one lawmaker's control and I feel like that's where all analyses should start and I don't really know how much more complicated it should get than that.

Hatosy is wonderful. An award well-earned. But it’s also the kind of win — not a showy part, not a big name actor or former winner — that suggests The Pitt is going to do VERY well at the big show next week.

But the entire Dem professional establishment was desperately *trying* to do the right thing & be responsible.
Contrast: immediately upon the arrival of the virus, the right started spreading insane conspiracy theories, attacking public health officials, & refusing to act in solidarity.

People saw Trump do what he said he was going to do in his first term and somehow decided that he wasn't going to do what he said in his second term?
As @jamisonfoser.bsky.social rightly notes here, the story on the politics of Trump's military takeovers and masked kidnapping is that the public doesn't like them, not that Trump has got Dems in a clever trap:

the right spent the early COVID pandemic whining about how they weren’t allowed to do various things because of the virus, then, by scientific magic, our best minds quickly developed a medicine which allowed people to do those things ASAP.

I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

I didn't watch the show, but I put on the end to see the tribute and it was really sad
…and gave solid notes to the contestants. And then, for the tribute, after the winners had been crowned, the show played an outtake of Payne joining and interacting with the audience on a recording of “Beautiful.” Zero ego, all heart. What a loss.
Anyway, watching BUILDING THE BAND. It’s good.

I wonder how different this country would be if all of the right wing fear-mongers just spent a week in an actual city to see that it's actually quite normal and not being overrun by "violent immigrants"
Somebody should tell the dozens of people playing pickleball and basketball and the countless parents of small children using the pool and playground in the park across the street from my house literally all day every day how unsafe it is
Stephen Miller: "We have communities all across this nation that 20 years ago, before the era of open borders, were completely peaceful, completely stable. Look at a place like Minneapolis. Post mass migration they're unsafe, they're violent, you cannot use the public parks."

Also it makes sense story wise that Collins would not want to go back to the hospital where she experienced the trauma of a miscarriage. So writers could easily just say that she transferred somewhere else #thepitt
Also, it never felt like the writers had as good a handle on — or as much imagination with — Collins as they did w/the other docs. Their arcs were all work-related; hers was entirely about the pregnancy. It's nice that one doc had her professional act together, but it's less dramatically interesting
