An absolute must to read and ponder. Right through to the end. By Spencer Ackerman. "Weiss simply has no idea what it took to report this story, and even less about the value of what her reporter delivered. Ellison would not have installed someone who did."

Something that many (at least online) seem to forget it how high this man was flying in January and where he is now. Yes he is richer and still terrible but the Tesla protests pierced the sense that he was beyond reach. And that matters a lot. Thanks to everyone who joined those ongoing protests.

To be clear, we do need to return to a method of politics where civil debate is the solution. I'm not advocating for a permanent state of politics-as-a-blood-sport. But as long as one side feels some attachment to the truth and the other side just wants to own the libs, civil debate is pointless.

It's also useless to call for civil debate as "politics in the right way" because the framework wherein civil debaters were punished for lying or making bad-faith arguments no longer exists. There is no point in asymmetrical civil debate where one side feels bound by truth and the other does not.

Nick Shirley (producer of the video sparking the Minnesota daycare fraud GOP media bonanza) has had previous rounds of attention from right wing media and elites for his production of misleading anti-immigrant propaganda. Here's a story from ~2 years ago (when we were still anonymizing his name):

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.
