Very much like Hillary's email server, the play is to take something widely accepted and known and then suddenly present it as a major gaffe or scandal
Deplorable state of U.S. media on display here, deliberately misleading the public. You can literally type into Google the same question @aoc.bsky.social was asked and the AI will give you her same answer because "strategic ambiguity" has been official U.S. policy her whole life.

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters.
The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

The truly terrifying part is that, based on the direction the party seems to be moving among its youth, the chances of nominating an actual neo-Nazi probably increase by the election cycle.
Nick Fuentes tells his followers not to vote in the midterms so the GOP gets wiped out, Trump gets impeached and indicted, and then "we get a Nazi to run in 2028": "I hope we get a fucking fascist to run in '28 to burn the GOP down as a dark horse and win the presidency as a right-wing radical."

To kick this off: everyone who crows about German technological superiority should explain how the Allies could develop 6 different 4-engine bombers (3 US, 3 UK) and the Germans couldn’t even develop one

Like, USAID still legally exists, still receives budget from Congress, and the few dozen remaining employees (who work at State) still have usaid.gov emails and all our systems and databases still exist.
It's just the 10k of us who actually did the work are gone. Just do that to ICE and CBP.

Simply hire a bunch of 22yo kids into jobs of unclear legitimacy, put them in charge of DHS, fire all DHS employees, and fold DHS into idk the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. It's all legal now. I don't want to hear this loser shit anymore after what they did to my friends.
One thing that's important to realize now is that, even in a scenario where Dems sweep to a crushing trifecta in 2028, Republicans will use their control of the courts to attempt to continue, as much as they can, to run executive agencies in exile, with DHS/ICE under Biden as the model

“False herring” is stupid, but the most dishonest & manipulative word here is “now.” As if this is some novelty. But warrants for entering homes, like cops who show their faces & badges, is how we’ve done things for 250 years. The radical novelty is suggesting we STOP doing these things.
Emmer: "It's a false herring for these guys to suggest, 'Oh, we now we need a judicial warrant,' because they know that that's going to delay any enforcement of the actual administrative warrant."

Elimination of emissions standards was one of the pretty clear policy stakes of the 2024 election and it received about 1% as much coverage as whether Tim Walz retiring from the national guard after 21 years was cowardly.
“The U.S. no longer has emission standards of any meaning,” said Margo T. Oge, who served as the E.P.A.’s top vehicle emissions regulator under three presidents and has since advised both automakers and environmental groups…
“Nothing. Zero,” she added. “Not many countries have zero.”
