A lot of republican events are straight up dangerous for formal acts of protest, but going NIMBY-mode on townhalls seems like a perfect way to distort the calculus of GOP electeds

In the last 2 weeks, my son and I had the flu, schools were closed because of weather, spend 5 days in the hospital so my son could get antibiotics for a secondary infection, more school closings, and now we can't shower, wash dishes, or do laundry because something is blocking the drain. #february

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

There are also not actually enough *other jobs* out there to accommodate all of the people in government, academia, aid, and NGO jobs that the Musk/Trump junta are currently rendering unemployed.
Just because many will want to make a career pivot out doesn’t mean they’ll be able to.

making the educated bourgeois class and the CIA and the FBI and the military mad at you within a month of seizing power is certainly a choice that the Musk/Trump junta is making
Don’t forget destroying the military and both your interior and exterior security services, and pissing off your neighbors and other countries that know all of your military and security secrets and a very vested interest in not supporting you ALL AT ONCE is typically the start of a glorious reign.

Why would a little boy say, “Shut the fuck up” if he wanted someone to be quiet? Was there someone in his life who maybe repeatedly said that to him? Also, where would he get the idea that Trump *isn’t* the President? Did someone also say that repeatedly to him?

RFK Jr.'s tie to a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa ought to be scrutinized during his upcoming Senate confirmation hearing. If he takes the same approach here, it could lead to a disaster and many deaths.
