If we don’t oppose Trump aggressively enough, we might lose our democracy. But if we oppose him too aggressively, we might lose something even more important: our norms.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Don’t have a unified theory yet on why Elon’s so invested in euroscepticism. What does he get out of Europe being blown apart politically?

My god. It’s happening. A post-Bashar Syria.
The transition starts now. Make no mistake: it will be incredibly rocky.
But today, take a beat to hear the soft, human joy of many Syrians as they cry, embrace, learn if wrongly jailed loved ones survived & vow “now we can go home.” 🧵
