Good piece (as usual by @gregsargent.bsky.social ) Two things simultaneously true: 1) Trump is becoming weaker, in *every* way, by the hour. 2) Precisely for that reason, he is becoming more dangerous. "Raccoon with rabies" is the metaphor I keep in mind.

“True Christianity is represented by the party, and the German people are now called by the party and especially by the Fuehrer to a real Christianity…The Fuehrer is the herald of a new revelation.” - Nazi politician Hans Kerrl, quoted in Shirer, William. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, 392.

Like the last decent person alive

Remarkable how quickly conservatives grasp previously alien to them concepts like microagressions and safe spaces.

“The left…has no clear vision of constitutional power and authority.”

I'm not a political consultant but i feel like dems could probably get a lot of leverage out of pushing for green technologies that would wean the us off being dependent on oil in this particular moment

Yes, we've referred Secretary Noem to the DOJ for perjury. Here's why:

a hugely underrated aspect of parliamentary systems is the snap election. far superior to impeachment, which was a dumb design to start with and straight up does not work anymore

This cruelty is being done in our name. Shame on this administration. Shame. 13,000 third country deportees so far. Many were ordered deported decades or even generations earlier, but no admin previously would have considered something as inhumane as this as a means of carrying out a removal.

Come for the outrage, stay for the chuck Chuck predictions @lizcjw.bsky.social youtu.be/tq8TDeZd7LE

It’s Not Springtime for Shitler substack.com/@teresaritte...

A take that has stood the test of time

Here's who I hope wins the Minnesota senate primary

However much John Roberts cloaks him in unaccountability, doing this remains a very serious federal crime and stories about it should say so.

What in the Gilead is this

Potentially unsalvageable country.

Not once does this story mention that offering a federal job in exchange for a political favor is a crime

This horrific story gets worse when you find out how this young woman originally came to the US: as a 17-year-old on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane

can it be closed down sooner

Call me when the reporters ignore Trump and walk away

it's a real mindfuck to see the leadership of a publication creating some of the most important journalism of a generation trying to screw the people doing the work

In honor of Mr. Rogers’ birthday, here’s your regularly scheduled reminder that the quote of his you keep sharing, that in times of crisis we should look for the helpers, was for his audience of children. We’re adults now. We’re supposed to *be* the helpers.

co-sign.

the government is saying “underage girls are testing positive for pregnancy at ICE detention centers” instead of saying “ICE agents are raping & impregnating underage girls.”

what are we doing? what’s going on?

Rep. Adam Smith to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "Put the goddamn taxes back on the table. You want war, you want a military of this size? Then fuckin' pay for it. It makes me angry." Full episode: newrepublic.com/article/2080...

Learning to write by using AI is like mastering concertos on a player piano.

Don’t worry guys. It can’t get worse. This was the bottom.

I think this is a crucial point. It turns out there are in fact things that are *much* worse than hypocrisy.

2 points on Trump's media capture: 1. Fascists don’t need to turn all news outlets to their side. They win if major outlets are simply too weak to tell the truth about them. 2. Fascists don’t need to make you believe them. They win if they pollute the news so much that you don’t believe anything.

Narrator: He would not, in fact, remember.

the country is at war and the president is peacing out for another weekend at his private club in Florida that he'll spend with his paying customers

My therapist asked me today what I thought the odds were of Trump or Bibi launch a nuke, if you’re curious how things are going.

The @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social crew is very good on this

turns out bob from chicago knows a little about what jesus would do

Congressman Smith is absolutely right that if Republicans want a war, they can damn well raise taxes and take the political hit themselves. Dems should have no part of any of it.

Many of us have woken up and confronted that reality every single day

I don’t like to agree with Netanyahu but the narrative that it’s all his fault is dangerous. Trump must finally be held accountable for his own fucking actions (and inactions).

Fetterman lied.

Fetterman has failed America with this vote www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

He’s much nicer than I. I will never forgive you for voting for this man. #DieMad

Aid to Ukraine from 2022-2026 was a rounding error. We used more in the first two weeks of the Iran war than we provided in the 4 years of aid to Ukraine.

these are the best reporters in the country, give them whatever the fuck they want www.status.news/p/cbs-news-l...

this is unironically the best case for punitive taxation there are arguments about fairness and freedom and whatever else but at the end of the day it is self-evidently far too dangerous for society as a whole for anyone to have that much money, the end

Everything is so stupid.

I’m glad she’s not voting for it. Won’t quibble about the reason though I could.

Took California less than a day to begin the process of holding people accountable and making efforts to right wrongs. And Chavez was a revered figure! He wasn't some random finance bro pedo from NYC. Funny how the Ivys/prestige universities and the GOP protect Epstein and his buddies at all costs
