This is a lie used to push liberals away from the only fighting politician institutions on the left in the US. More unionists voted for Harris than Biden. The modal active union member (as opposed to retiree) is a woman in a school or hospital, not a cartoon polish guy in a hard hat.

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally. It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

Orban made grand appeals to “Christianity” and “Western Civilization,” but his “illiberal democracy” was just a scam, a way to make him and his buddies rich while subjecting Hungarians to stagnation and robbing them of their freedom. Sound familiar? (Gift link)

Not to be pedantic but "just war doctrine" and "Deus vult" are actually not the same thing. There is crossover, but they are not the same. One is knight vibes doing a war crime for God--which is why Hegseth loves it--the other is philosophical and canon law and much, much, much more complex.

AOC: President Trump—I want to be clear—not only threatened genocide, he is continuing to threaten genocide against the Iranian people. That is his main point of “leverage” in this situation. It is a war crime. It is abhorrent, and it is also illegal.

Congratulations to our client Nicholas Enrich on the publication of his new book, "Into the Wood Chipper"! In this interview with ABC News, Enrich, a former USAID Acting Assistant Administrator of Global Health, describes finally getting a chance to explain the 60-year-old agency's health work the day *after* his team was let go. “I just gave a high-level overview,” Enrich says. The top brass, he discovered, didn’t know what USAID did. “‘These are the infectious diseases we work on. Here's what we do in maternal and child health…’" he says he explained.

The REALLY frustrating part is that many of us argued that USAID could legally fund abortions in cases of rape and to save the life of the woman. But we kept being told that it would endanger all of USAID if they allowed that. Turns out their caution didn't matter.

Certain writers (*cough* NYT Opinion *cough*) overread the durability of illiberal nationalism and scoffed at pro-democracy appeals, but they only listened to each other, never allowing alternate opinions into their elite bubble. That left them unable to grasp everything from Hungary to Minneapolis.

It's critical that people understand Trump took the world to the brink, and that congressional Rs showed their hand: Given a choice between armageddon and constraining Trump, they'll choose armageddon. It's also critical that we try to bring the crisis to an end.

If you're gonna use the term, save TACO for situations where Trump can reverse himself, and damage is financial or abstract. This is not that. This is a madman taking the world hostage, causing death and global chaos, sparing us from civilizational ruin for his own opaque reasons. No moving past it.
