DICE system for explaining MAGA government actions. Each of these aspects is given an X out of 25 rating.

Planes crashing / colliding daily since Trump sworn in:

D.umb - 25
I.ncompetent - 25
C.rooked - 0
E.vil - 25

Total MAGA DICE score = 75

News media, take it and run with it, you dummies.

Politics is the art of making people care. Effective movements *shift the polls* by framing issues as moral questions.

If the fascists can make people care about conspiracy theories like QAnon, we can make people care about freedom and democracy.

(George Lakoff wrote several books on this.)

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

Fox Business reporter Charles Gasparino, via Twitter: https://x.com/cgasparino/status/1981496719863955913 SCOOP: A Trump official tells @nypost that the administration favors Paramount Skydance to buy Warner Bros. Discovery – and a number of rival bidders are likely to face stiff hurdles from US regulators in the blockbuster auction. “Who owns Warner Bros. Discovery is very important to the administration,” a senior Trump administration official told On The Money. “The Warner board needs to think very seriously not just on the price competition but which player in the suitor pool has been successful getting a deal done. And that points to the Ellisons.”

We're at the point in the story where the FBI is showing up at a dude's house because he attended a protest. Without suspicion of a crime, agents ask important questions like who produced signs for the event.

And it had an impact--he decided not to go back to the streets to voice his opinions.

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.

While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:

the most corrupt administration in my lifetime
New York Times article reads: "Mr. Zhao had pleaded guilty to money-laundering violations in 2023 and served four months in federal prison, after a yearslong investigation by financial regulators and U.S. prosecutors. “President Trump exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden administration in their war on cryptocurrency,” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement on Thursday. “The Biden administration’s war on crypto is over.” The pardon was the latest example of how high-profile business partners of Mr. Trump and his family have benefited from his rollback of the wide-ranging crypto crackdown orchestrated by President Joseph R. Biden Jr. To seek the pardon, Mr. Zhao hired lawyers and lobbyists with ties to the Trump administration, while Binance struck a business deal with World Liberty Financial, the Trump family’s crypto start-up."

So is the plan here just to make snarky comments about Matt Stoller, or do any of the Democrats who control half the country’s elected offices or businesses that control the other 90% of the economy have any plan to fight back against Trump literally seizing control of the free market for himself

They’re going to come up with a plan to counter MAGA controlling the media and it’s going to be this:

Hire consultants -> develop new messaging strategy -> it’s jobs and/or healthcare -> win elections in perpetuity

I cannot personally fight this battle but there are millions of Dems out there, with access to hundreds of millions of dollars. And yet Trump marches through society, seizing institutions, and our leaders have no apparent interest in countering him in any way, outside of a narrow range of activity

worth reiterating again that “the executive can raise and spend money however he likes” has been anathema even under monarchies for centuries

Odds are this aggressively did not happen. But it would of course be just as unconstitutional to spend money donated to the government without a duly enacted appropriation as it is to spend tax money that way.

there’s something distasteful in the way people describe the poor as having only their economic plight guide their values. it feels almost condescending, as though they can’t walk and chew gum and think that disrespecting an historic office is bad.
