The normalization of this madness is so quick that we’re debating whether a second illegal strike was wrong after an initial illegal strike with no proof of any crime and we’ve already seen just random murders of fishermen normalized with the excuse they’re running drugs, which isn’t legal either.

if your spouse was murdered less than three months ago you’d probably be grieving or spending time with your family, and that’s why you’re not invited to the Dealbook Summit

I didn't mention it in my bit on this story from earlier this week, but one of the most dispiriting things about this, beyond how predictable it was, is that all these elected officials care much more about doing shit like this than they do about the University of Oklahoma continuing to exist.
The Oklahoma House of Representatives gave that girl an award for writing a terrible essay? For getting a trans person fired? This whole thing is an op.

See, if things were anywhere approaching "normal," this would be a pathetically embarrassing thing to be photographed accepting.

That student is a vile disgusting bigot and the essay showed she was not intellectually prepared to even be in college. We have to normalize telling people these things.

i'd go even further and say there is a reason even nixon kept this kind of stuff to himself. you would have to go back quite a bit to find a point at which is acceptable for a president to say anything like this *in public*, to say nothing of in the oval office.
I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Every Congressperson who does not file impeachment articles ASAP, or even just start talking about it, owns everything that happens to the people Trump targets. Their complicity and enablement of his abuse takes the protection of America away from them.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

this clip encapsulates so much of what has been wrong about MSM Trump coverage for the past decade -- treating Trump's lies and bigotry as a valid "side" of a debate instead of calling it out, because calling it out makes it seem as though you're biased

I know this all has amounted to one big, slow boil, but I have to ask what is the point of the 25th Amendment? This happens almost every day, and it's not even going to be discussed.
I am asking sincerely. What would it take to even have the *discussion*?

Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?
HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.
Oh man! This paragraph is brutal. The best thing about this review is it's not trying to be mean. It's just listing how bad the writing is.
