The simple truth is that Trump believes that, if we send money to a county in exchange for stuff, we've just lost because now they have our money
Trump: "I spoke to a lot of leaders -- European, Asian, from all over the world. They are dying to make a deal, but I said 'we're not gonna have deficits with your country' ... to me a deficit is a loss. We're gonna have surpluses or at worst we're gonna be breaking even."

Since I posted this video, Newsweek and HuffPost have covered the story - which is great, but obviously nowhere close to enough

Himes: This is his life now. He’s nowhere near qualified for the position he holds, so when he gets on a Signal chat with his buddies and says, ‘We’re a go. Centcom says all in. F-18s,’ it just makes him feel really, really good.
Sadly, of course, it puts our people at risk.

Here’s Lee Gelernt of the ACLU, speaking after the Alien Enemies Act hearing, on the United States getting very close to a constitutional crisis.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I say again: any Republican in congress with an ounce of integrity would switch parties immediately. They are complicit, sadistic cowards. Every single one.

This is incredible.
After 3 surgeries, a blood clot, infection & being hospitalized for over a week, the moment I was discharged I rushed to the airport so I could get on a plane to DC & vote NO on Republicans’ disastrous budget plan.
Rep. Pettersen traveled from Colorado with her newborn son so she could vote NO. 🧵

Arguments about persuasion are comforting in their familiarity but they're so detached from the shape of the present crisis. It'll take Congress, or the Courts, or a police force responding to orders from either (or an undeniable mass of citizenry in DC) physically obstructing Musk to stop DOGE.

The problem with American political discourse is that you can’t explain the impact of tariffs to people dumb enough to think DEI programs cause plane crashes.

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.
