This is stunningly good reporting by two bylined reporters and six credited researchers, and it's undermined throughout by links to an "Ask the Post AI" that delivers insipid answers to its own contrived prompts under the guise of "More context on this article"

How does this square with Rosenberger v. UVA? If the university has a limited public forum that funds magazines who abide by an all-comers policy, this strikes me as a serious First Amendment problem.

Lots of "it's not really authoritarian" etc takes skip over details like how Trump refuses to let a majority-Republican Senate have a say in who runs several U.S. Attorney's Offices. It's profoundly anti-democratic, and by itself strong evidence of corruption and malfeasance.

But instead, Amazon got a tax deal worth an estimated **$100M** to build a warehouse in Fall River, so that we could then subsidize Amazon *again* by feeding its workers

They're scapegoating the most vulnerable so they can rip us all off
It is the most accurate and salient explanation of the last ten years, and yet you rarely hear any politician of any stature say that.

Possibly because I was growing up Jewish only ~30 years after the Holocaust, but the evil of “scapegoating” was hammered into me repeatedly. I rarely see the term used, but it’s exactly what Trump, Miller, Noem and the right wing at large do, explicitly, and it should be forcefully condemned.
