basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Turns out both carrying out an ethnic cleansing in full view of everyone *and* making it hard to order from Amazon Japan is a bridge too far.

The only justice in war criminal Dick Cheney's death is that he died knowing that a man far stupider than him stole everything he wished he could have stolen, and did so with zero guile, preparation, or thought.

as this goes on while i grow older, i am very much feeling like a creature of another time. obviously things have always been more or less this way my entire life but as the last vestiges of truth, shared obligations, a loose moral framework get sheared away, i feel increasingly out of place

Beyond the costumes at No Kings, Democratic leadership may want to check the signs to understand the vibe of their base right now (hint: it’s not health care)

I imagine that it gave Charlie Kirk great pleasure to die as a martyr to the god of death he worshipped. I wish instead he could have died another way: of old age, peacefully, in a country where all his work had come to nothing, and he himself completely forgotten.

the big questions for american democracy going forward seem to be (1) can the GOP actually build the federal police state they just funded, (2) in time to finish before democratic checks can be established, and (3) whether dems gaining power would actually try to stop/dismantle it

The giant sucking sound you hear is the destruction of the US hospitality industry.
Two young German travelers expected their Hawaii trip to be a highlight. Instead, their visit ended in handcuffs, jail time, and deportation — a stark reminder of the risks some international visitors face at US borders.

Guys, this is David Brooks in the NY Times. If it's like this 90 days into this presidency with people who wouldn't be caught dead saying it last year, imagine it in two years. Something good is happening, we just have to lift everybody up so they can see it.
