Your regular reminder that Republicans in Congress approve of what the President is doing.

As it happens, I have experience with high-level government demands to stop an explosive, accurate story from running, and I also have experience with 60 Minutes spiking a story I was involved in, so I have thoughts about the travesty at CBS. If you want some journalism anecdotes, here are a lot:

Trumpers have a howling void of angry insecurity where a soul should be. Unchecked power tastes like ashes in their mouth because they thought when they got it everyone would be forced to like and admire them even though they’re irredeemable assholes. But people still treat them like assholes.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

It is impossible to overstate the inanity of the vapid and stupid stunt of renaming the Defense Department, and Congress should step in and put a stop to it immediately. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

possibly the most important text to me as a kid, or as a person generally

I think if you see someone reading in public and assume they’re doing it performatively that says rather more about you than it does them, and I think it’s bad for us to develop a cultural stigma around reading, a thing we shouldn’t be trying to discourage, in public or anywhere

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

Trump sending ICE agents to Newsom’s press conference is thuggish totalitarian behavior, but more than that it’s deeply pathetic, insecure, and petty.

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

Happy birthday, America. Your gift? A new police state.

This is the sort of stuff people in cults say right before drinking poison or lighting themselves on fire.

No, I don’t think I should try to find common ground with Trump supporters. Or white nationalists, or Nazis, or klansmen, or serial killers, or Andrew Tate.

over to you @jaketapper.bsky.social

This is the former president of Estonia, a place that knows a thing or two about resisting authoritarians and facing down bad guys who are trying to crush democracy.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

This should be the end of Noem’s career in public life. It almost certainly won’t be, however, which is itself damning.

18 May 1897 | A Pole, Jan Blak, was born in Krakow. An accountant. In #Auschwitz from 3 August 1942. No. 55778 He perished in the camp on 5 September 1942.

Many years ago someone from NYC on Twitter explained Trump as the uniquely New York Society phenomenon of the "straight queen" and I didn't fully absorb what that meant until I saw this.

Can't remember who said it, but using ChatGPT for your college essays is like using a forklift to move the weights around at the gym. It's the process that's important to your development, not the end product.

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns
