People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.
I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

I am well aware that they are and will continue to do massive damage to this country

but does it feel like they’re on a glide path to successful authoritarian consolidation anymore? I submit that it does not

MTG is not seeing the light and she is not seeing reason

What she is seeing is the writing on the walls that Trump/MAGA republicans are on the verge of collapse and is getting ahead of the curve and banking on people having short attention spans to switch up her image to save her own career

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

if everything is going to be this bleak and sad it's nice to see the news peppered with little slices of life like jeffrey epstein emailing himself a file called "genuiis_____ideas (3).txt" that just says stuff like "microchup. = brain ? "

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

Gonna be awkward when some of these dudes have to explain that they aren't pedophiles, but they just wanted to hang out with some fellow racists.

The aurora tonight is definitely not as strong as last night. Unless it gets dramatically stronger later I'm going to call it quits for now.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

along with the heinous literal crimes i think a lot about how there's a kind of moral, national crime in subjecting all of us to this, to this consuming our politics, committed against us by a number of powerful and connected people up to and including the president
