Trump and the GOP are driving the country off a cliff and Democrats should seize the moment by getting in front of them to cushion the fall.

Stephen Miller says Afghan immigrant Rahmanullah Lakanwal was incapable of assimilating to American culture. But a factcheck shows that Lakanwal used a gun to assault and kill multiple innocent people. Four Pinocchios.

New technologies now under development will enable the GOP to do to intellectual discourse in academia what Rupert Murdoch and Bari Weiss have done to reasoned debate in the media.

🧵A Threads post in response to a George Will op ed praising Mike DeWine - the post includes a screenshot to a comment on the Will piece which is spot on in labeling DeWine as a radical right winger clothed in temperamental calmness
The comment is a luminous piece of prose, suitable for framing.

We won our lawsuit against the Trump administration, preventing them from dismantling federal agencies that provide services and funding for libraries, museums, workers, small businesses, and the unhoused.
We will always defend the basic services that New Yorkers depend on.

Interviews and records show the White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.
The incident is the latest in a string of matters where the Trump administration has inserted itself to help friends and target foes.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

More than half of you are dumb fucking losers, that’s all I can conclude
A majority of U.S. adults (59%) say they don’t want to get an updated COVID-19 vaccine. This is roughly identical to the share who said in October 2024 that they probably wouldn’t get the updated vaccine.

The damage done by treating Trump's victory as some sweeping mandate in the first eight months of his term really was massive, but ending that collective delusion - i think with the help of last week's elections - really is having profound impacts.
