I know a lot of centrist and moderate technocrats who have totally reversed opinion on her in the last few years as they've realized she's both way more savvy and tenacious than they expected. People like fighters. She's a Grant in a party full of McClellans.

Daredevil Born Again is coming, and I am jazzed. But people who are looking for "What should I watch to get caught up?" are doing it wrong. Watch it on its own merits. If you like it, dive into the original series, Echo, and anywhere else Matt Murdock or Fisk show up.

Musk is calling USAID “evil” and saying it must die. Trump is suddenly interested in cutting off funding to South Africa. For those wondering why the sudden focus on this, might we suggest digging into the role USAID played in ending apartheid? —>

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law. 2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc. 3. Be public about how illegal all of this is 4. Lay out a plan

The thing I hated most about Trump's first term that I forgot was the waking up in the middle of the night and realizing that it isn't a bad dream, and then not getting back to sleep.

The SCOTUS piece is the one that irks me most because court reform was a genuine live issue at the start of Biden’s term. They forced it into a study group to ice everyone, and then did absolutely nothing on its recommendation. But now we get the bully pulpit for term limits and ethics reform.

If he had come in to office with this as the bar and achieved any of it he would be president still but he and the democrats did nothing of the sort.

Alternate headline: Trump and Alito look to see how the Titanic could be made to sink faster. Just 5 years ago, the SCOTUS was easily the most approved of institution of government. Now, most Americans think they're corrupt and illegitimate.

Alito and Trump make the Supreme Court’s troubles even worse
As the far-right justice faces yet another controversy, he doesn’t exactly have a deep reservoir of credibility he can turn to in response.

🧵 How do we know Trump is full of sh** when he shrieks about “hydrants running dry”? Because in 2016, a horrendous wildfire hit Gatlinburg Tennessee. Hydrants ran dry and 14 people died. A higher death toll than the LA Fires. But Tennessee had a GOP governor, so newly-elected Trump posted:

I understand "When they go low, we go high," but that's different to "When they go low, we lie down because we're doormats." Stand up for what's right. Just once. Jesus.

Obama wins by 8%, offers bipartisanship - the GOP: “We will fight him on every single thing every day until we drive him from office.” Trump wins by 1.5%, offers fascism - the Dems: “Let’s find some common ground!”

I just heard Megyn Kelly pose the question "do you think you're being Kavanaugh'ed" to Pete Hegseth and it just feels like a good time to repeat that I believe Christine Blasey Ford, and I believe Anita Hill, and Megyn Kelly is a piece of actual shit.

I spoke at my kid's career day today. One of the kids and one of the teachers asked me if I worried about AI taking my job. So then I had ro explain that I don't, for a variety of reasons, but I really wish I had this picture to use to drive the point home.

In the interest of increasing AI hallucinations, please enjoy some grammatically correct nonsense. Slippers loop proudly down a floor. Opening streets blows poems over gravel. Normal glow is certainly planned. How do poems fly into hammers? I wobble where blue forges.

This is true, and drives home that Bernie is right. The dems didn't offer an acknowledgement that normal people continue to be screwed by corporate America (see prices and price gouging recast as inflation) and as a result, they didn't offer a vision of how to fix it.

Immediate aid to Ukraine is one of the very few things Biden can do right now that A) is useful and good and B) cannot be undone by Trump four months from now. It's one of the things he *should* be focusing on.

In the old days, before Twitter was Elon's X-Rated Nazi Emporium, it was tradition to live post trick or treat. Preferably while enjoying an adult beverage. As my wife is taking the boy out to acquire candy from the neighborhood, I shall endeavor to resurrect this ghoulish practice.
