@dgraham.bsky.social I am a big fan of yours as an Atlantic subscriber but I have a bone to pick with you and so many other journalists who continue to refer to DJT's "falsehoods"(e.g. your excellent piece today). Stop sugar-coating and start calling them outright LIES? Call it for what it is pls!

After House Republicans ignored her appeals, Lisa Murkowski’s vote looks even worse
The Alaska Republican cast an indefensible vote in favor of the GOP’s megabill. After the House approved the same package, her vote now looks even worse.

So, I have to confess. I think I have finally turned the "mellow" corner. Where I once had outrage and anger and disbelief in the sheer stupidity of Trump, the GOP and MAGA idiots writ large, now I mostly have a sense of impending schadenfreude. Bring it on....

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

Think what you will about Harvard University - love it/hate it - but I am OK with Trump taking away its tax-exempt status *IF* he first takes away the tax exempt status of churches all over the country. I can tell you which of these *I'd* rather have shape my world view - Universities or Churches.

You will NEVER convince me that this yo-yo approach to tariffs isn't yet one more YUGE grift - FORTUNES are no doubt being made by a lot of insiders and speculators who are buying, shorting and selling on the roller coaster stock market that responds to every one of Trump's tariff "announcements".

All media should stop referring to "Trump Tariffs" and instead call them "Republican Tariffs". Yes, Trump's idiocy is central to this, but until the GOP House members/Senators can find a spine among them to rise up, dump him & control his craziness, REPUBLICANS need to OWN every bit of this shit.

Not a single person out of 18 of the very most senior officials in this Admin — including the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA Director — voiced any concern with highly classified military plans circulated on Signal.
You also can be sure this is not the only time.

As gobsmacked as we are re: Hegseth et al sending war plans on Signal & being outed when they stupidly sent it to the wrong (GOOD) guy, a FAR more worrying questions is "How many other times has this gone on undetected, and what other classified NatSec info has gone out (been intercepted?) already?

Buttigieg: What if this had, in fact, gone to somebody else? I mean, somebody who could plausibly be in some of these people's cell phones. I don't know, the Chinese ambassador or Russian negotiator.
And the other question on my mind is how many other times has something like this happened?

Heeding the lessons of COVID-19 in the face of avian influenza
COVID-19 exposed the many ways in which we were ill-prepared to prevent and respond to pandemics. Are we applying those lessons to prevent a bird flu pandemic?

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

I already cancelled my @washingtonpost.com sub; the @nytimes.com is next. Today's opinion Newsletter headline:
"Trump bends the rule of law". Really? REALLY???
Let me fix that for you:
"Trump continues to break the law at every chance he gets, and no one seems able or willing to stop him."

So let me get this straight: The guy who repeatedly says that there would have never even been a war in Ukraine if *he* had been President instead of Biden, can't even "negotiate" a full ceasefire with his best buddy Vlad?
