"While elite journos and businessmen kiss the ring of Trump, people in jammies and slippers confront ICE in the street. The courage of ordinary people has been stunning compared to the elite."

On the pod @amandamarcotte.bsky.social is good on Trump's downward spiral:

Trump Is a Weak, Failing President, and the Media Is Finally Saying So
As Trump’s downward spiral starts producing harsher media coverage, a writer who regularly dissects MAGA and political media explains why he’s entering a tailspin that will be very hard to reverse.

At this point X is like 1950s Vienna, a whole place made up entirely of spies, running ops against other spies, with no non-spy people. Or maybe like a 1971 Black Panthers convention where 3/4 of the attendees are conintelrpo.

precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

Trying to apply logic to the hysterias of fascists is always a mistake, I suppose. It's much more psychological damage. Trump/RFK obviously cannot handle anxiety about their aging bodies, so they project it onto other people, the "real" old people who "deserve" to die.

Also, and I've written about this, RFK is an unvarnished eugenicist. But he and his fellow travelers seem to see covid as a missed opportunity to "purge" us of a lot of older people.

Which seems weird, since RFK is also old. But he thinks he's "worthy."

My colleague @rpaynereport.bsky.social and I watch clips of Fox News trying to hype Charlie Kirk as a martyr.

We explain, based on reporting, why it's not true.

Part of the problem is people think what persuades them is logic and facts.

In reality, most people's opinions are shaped primarily what they perceive to be the views of the community they're in.

So if you hang out with Nazis all day, it starts to feel "normal."
This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

Witkoff has got to go.

"Every time he intervenes, advocating for Putin’s positions, he encourages the Russians to think they can get Trump on their side, pull America away from Europe, break up NATO, and win the war."

Trump’s envoy isn’t promoting peace. His interventions are helping Vladimir Putin.
