This purge is bone-chilling and unprecedented. It’s straight out of the authoritarian’s playbook. Inspectors General are a vital, independent check on misconduct and abuse within the executive branch. Trump is ousting them so he can break the law with zero oversight.

The internal government watchdogs were believed to have been dismissed at several major agencies, though the Justice Department’s was not said to have been among them.

if the world's richest man can afford to make a nazi salute but a 31 year old meterologist can't afford to criticize him for doing so, it suggests that the price of speech may in fact be slightly higher than "free"

The way she's handled these past few weeks alone have proved she's a BOSS (yet again)
What I remembered of Harris from the 2020 campaign did not impress me. I encourage others who have a so-so or negative take on her to make sure you're up to date with what she's been doing and prioritizing. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2024/07/21/u...

Hey! Somebody else gets it.
This whole week has felt like I had a massive mental breakdown.
The Trump campaign designs and prints "Mass Deportation Now" signs that are gleefully held aloft by smiling white delegates, and the biggest story is still somehow Democrats anonymously attacking Biden.

Why bother spending the week calling out the absolute insanity that was the RNC, much better to spend it undercutting your candidate …

Scholars often ask me what they can do, and this is a tangible thing. State and local media are, in particular, hungry for opinion pieces from experts. Lots of people targeting that media is more effective than lots of people trying to land that one NYT op-ed

Not a conspiracy theorist, but what if....those mar-a-lago boxes had secret government info (kompromat) on all members of congress and beyond. And what if...some of those members were contacted and told that if they didn't tell Biden to drop out their secrets would leak.

It's true that every previous generation faced some sort of existential threat. This fails to acknowledge that it isn't just "the nazis!" or "the russians!" or "the bomb". It's the nazis, the russians, the bomb, the election, fascism locally, fascism globally, eliminationist violence, abortion, etc
