Weird how Trump will go down as—by far—the worst President in US history, yet his family will be exponentially richer because of his presidency. I suspect he will be fine with that (though he craves respect that he will never get) further enriching himself was always the ultimate goal.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.
Just to level set

Good thread. 👇🏻
Who’s doing work planning for when this regime finally falls?

What norms that were violated need to be turned into laws?

What laws that were twisted to permit illegal action need to be strengthened?

How do we rebuild a civil service based on domain expertise, not political loyalty?

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

Any reason to distinguish Alcibiades’ (love that guy!) actions/decisions from Benedict Arnold’s actions/decisions? I guess I kind of feel for the latter guy.

Also, digging Ken Burns’ Revolutionary War documentary.

Yeah, there’s no way this is straight-forward. No faith in the DOJ to release everything. And I find the media’s credulity on this just laughable.

President Trump has signed a bill to compel the Justice Department to make public its files on the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Now, there's a 30-day countdown for the DOJ to produce those records. n.pr/3LTpu2E

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Stumbled across my favorite family photo tonight (c. 1979). I’m on the right. Good stuff.

there’s some truth in this, but the gap between deep red and blue states isn’t explained by voter suppression alone. the white populations in deep red states vote republican at very high rates. both things are load-bearing.
I understand why a lot of white liberals are like, fuck the south, because they think about the people in power who are mostly white conservatives. But that is only because of Jim Crow, voter suppression, a lack of real funding for Dems there

Just watched TAW’s all-time best 11, so figured I’d throw in my all-time FAVORITE 11. Not best, but favorite:

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Yup, and the damage isn’t so much in the story as in the proof of weakness. Trump now knows he has new torture tools to make Dems do what he wants. It’s why at least one of the 7 capitulators oughta be run out of office now, mid session. Get that number down to 6. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...

To repeat: Maybe electing a life-long criminal to an office where he can pardon other criminals wasn't such a good idea.

Saw Tweedy at First Ave last night. He was great!

But observed too many of these IQ test indicators:
1) Taking photos of band playing on your phone? -5 pts.
2) Taking video? -10 pts.
3) Taking video with flash on? Full standard deviation of -15 pts.
