Your nuanced take is unlikely to manifest itself in reality.

Ok but even taking their premise seriously, Latin America, via the Spanish and Portuguese, have a closer connection to Rome than the USA does. The word "Latin" gives it away.

Judging from MAGA leadership, Western Civilization consists entirely of NASCAR, MMA, and Kid Rock

AIPAC out of control. Epstein & the Sacklers. Bibi. Witkoff & Kushner in Moscow & Riyadh. WJC's Lauder as the Greenland Whisperer, weakens NATO. His son-in-law, Kevin Warsh, wrecks the economy.

Who will MAGA blame after Trump is dead?

No. Even among Forbes billionaires, only a tiny fraction appear in the files.

Prediction / warning:

Trump 1: outside, shouting over sound of Marine One.

Trump 2: inside, shouting over sound of AF1.

Ossoff has it 100% right.

But why is he channeling the dull oratory of Hillary Clinton, of Schumer, and of Jerry Nadler…?

140 pages into β€œBernie for Burlington” by Dan Chaisson.

Impression so far: this book will win major awards.

The NYT picked a political correspondent to review this book.
Mistake.

What it is:
A personal memoir and a deep history of modern Vermont, written by an accomplished poet.

Yes! I’m in Dallas this weekend. In one of those new gerrymander districts, an open seat for the GOP. One guy is promising to bring ICE here.

I’m in Dallas. It’s primary season in a newly shaped district.

An asshole contest is underway.

All the recent rulings can (plausibly) be explained as part of a negotiation between Trump and the Federalist Society over the replacements of Alito and Thomas.

Lewandowski was portrayed as a sort of 9/11 hero-by-proxy because he married a 9/11 widow.

By spending time on Jeffrey Epstein's island, Howard Lutnick interacted with an immensely rich man and his harem of young girls. This perfectly prepared him to do deals with the royals of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. A masterstroke by President Donald J. Trump!

Yes, NBC out-rated us this week, but it’s completely unfair to compare us when one of their anchors’ mothers was kidnapped and none of ours were.

I will never forget when Lewandowski walked into a House Judiciary hearing, kicked chairman Nadler in the nuts 15 times, then walked out.

Musk was tweeting out about turning Mars into a green, lush paradise just a month ago.

This is a big pivot ahead of a possible IPO in June. And ahead of an actual launch (maybe) next month.

Was his whole Mars thing based on Kim Stanley Robinson? (An allegory, not a roadmap!)

Surprised he hasn’t made $$$ offers to all countries in the tropics (The Man Who Sold The Moon)

Bet *against* a murder.

Same as posting a bounty.

Israeli Soldiers Accused of Using Polymarket to Bet on Strikes The country’s internal security agency indicted a reservist and a civilian for security offenses, bribery and obstruction of justice in connection with the bets.

This is really, really dark.

Zach is being too kind here.

Musk a month ago was still tweeting about terraforming Mars into a green planet.

The pivot is a mistake if he alienates the fanboys who puff up his equity valuations.
