Turning Point is really embracing the civil, non-incendiary discourse we were told Charlie Kirk championed.*

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

For the remarkable number of folks in excellent law firms, corporate suites, non-legal academia who still aren't really sure "where we are" country-wise, I'm just not sure how much clearer he can be. Countries in which opponents of the government can "never obtain power" are not democracies.
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

We couldn't ask for a fairer, more deeply reported story.
It's not easy to read this, knowing the plans we had won't take shape. But personally I'm really proud of what we did for 30 years and how I was able to be part of the solution for the last 7.
I will keep fighting, keep building.

Reps for a dozen nonprofits that lost federal funding to do community violence intervention work—due to Trump's DOJ cancelling their grants—say they've had to cut staff & programs, which will undermine public safety.

Agreed. Very simple and easy to understand the point of this dog and pony show.
good thread re: what's behind all this today
It's easy to see this speech as just weirdly performative, but there's a lot more—and a lot worse—going on here.
The meeting & speeches are part of a larger project aimed at promoting the military leadership’s partisan alignment with the administration.

Camden had zero homicides this summer. City and county leaders credit the 2013 disbandment of its police department.
As of Monday, the city has seen a 43% decrease in homicides compared to this time last year. And violent crime has reached a 50-year low.
