I'm pretty tired of the "cracks are emerging" narrative. "Cracks" were "emerging" during the Epstein fiasco. During Signalgate. During COVID. Let's stop pretending that MAGA is somehow always on the verge of breaking up based on Just One Thing Happening. It's either a lie or delusional.

I don’t need to know everything Trump is doing all the time the moment it happens. Really, does anyone? Go live your life and enjoy the wedding.

It’s been said before but it’s worth repeating: the Constitution was designed to prevent exactly what is happening right now.

I tend to agree. I think there's a lot of wishful thinking on the left about this.

Under the guise of neutral principles. The entire project of originalism (a political, not interpretive, project) is to remove constitutional problems from the realm of contested political arguments, while at the same time imposing political preferences, under the pretext of neutrality.

This is interesting, but my friendly advice is to slow down!

Stephen Miller will eventually go down as one of history's greatest monsters.

I have been waiting to see this piece written, and I am 0% surprised by it. I imagine that it will be worse when they try to fill the ranks of ICE with 10x more people.

Nothing about leaving tech behind is hard. You just do it and don’t look back.

I have been disheartened to see Catholic priests justifying the actions of the current regime as necessary, or a small price to pay for rolling back gay and trans rights. I hope this is a minority.

For the life of me I don’t understand going to the effort - time, money, everything - of running for Congress, winning, and then just rolling over. It makes no sense.

The only question is now is how bad is it going to get before the tide finally turns, as surely it will - one way or another.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose β€œno” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

"Deporting" is not the right word.

For as long as I've been alive, congressional Republicans have been nothing but bad faith actors, and 100% responsible for the mess we're in -- be it climate, immigration, or our current fascistic government.

Yes this is a constitutional Article I crisis feeding into a political crisis. At some point if those are not fixed the law will give way too.

I paid basically no attention to the NYC mayoral primary.

(Never lived there, don't understand NY politics. Just enough to think: Andrew Cuomo??????)

Now I'm ready to move there to vote for Mamdani.

Given the shameless slime of the attacks on him.

One would think that Democrats would have some better targets in the midst of a coup/civil war/destruction of the Constitution and the rule of law/massive loss of rights than a Democratic candidate who just won an election.
