I’ve never been so embarrassed to be in his constituency. What a total self-own. @durbin.senate.gov

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

It's inspiring that a person can start a Substack and with nothing more than strong ideas, hard work, and the support of a few billionaires plus a corrupt FCC merger review process achieve a lucrative exit plus power over a television network.

Armed and fully militarized raids using blackhawks to drop troops into neighborhoods around Chicago should probably be bigger news. Even in an unfolding fascist police state that should be registering with people of good conscience as something they cannot allow to continue.

They didn't define it as millions dead or % killed to try to head off that definitionally impossible standard when the goal is prevention"

A lot of this country’s problems boil down to straight white men who see themselves as some sort of default “normal” but any variation on that as “an identity” that is “political”

Absolutely bonkers.

Self-identifying as a centrist is perhaps the most cynical and amoral political identity you can have because you're just openly admitting your beliefs aren't really beliefs they're just strategic positions that only exist relative to others in the room you happen to be in

This should be the chyron running under every news story about this stupid useless trade war.

Cities should be on fire as soon as MAGA start talking Trump 2028
