“We knew very well what we were electing” isn’t a defense of Trump’s actions. It’s an admission of your complicity.
CURTIS: All of us need to wake up every morning & say, 'what am I doing to make immigrants feel welcome' regardless of an individual says

BASH: But he's not just an individual. He's the president calling an entire community garbage

C: We knew very well what we were electing. We wanted a disrupter

Christian, if you’re applauding the mass deportations of distraught, exhausted human beings seeking refuge, you probably shouldn’t be singing sweet songs about a baby with “no crib for a bed.”

I should have expected it, but it still shocks me how little news orgs care about the fact that corruption has destroyed nearly all consumer/labor/environmental/public safety protection and corporate oversight during Trump's second term

media ownership supports this outcome

Trump's second term eviscerated regulatory autonomy. They even randomly fired Democratic commissioners.

This corruption WILL kill people and cause generational public harm, but it continues to receive less attention in the press than whatever brainfart Sam Altman has each morning
NEW: SCOTUS will hear arguments Monday on Trump’s attempt to fire the last Democratic FTC commissioner. A ruling for the president could dangerously expand his control over agencies regulating the economy, stock market, campaign finance and communications.

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?
It's over.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

I'm pretty concerned that "so what if you were born here, you're not a real American" is poised to become the law of the land and I'm not sure what I can do about it.

I sincerely hope the third of "us" who believe we're headed in the right direction get the help they obviously and desperately need.
I feel like I'm going insane.

The president let loose 2 absolutely unhinged racist rants this week that sounded directly out of klan rallies and his allies clapped and laughed and everyone else was like, oh he's nuts moving on.

Personally + professionally, I truly don't know how to address this.

Of course, even if all those things were actually true, it’s just insane that anyone would ever imagine a rational next sentence is “therefore we had to murder them with bombs.”

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

It’s all transparently bullshit and immune to rationality, but if struggling to stabilize half a burning boat to avoid drowning is “getting back in the fight,” what they’re really saying is there’s nothing the survivors could have done to avoid being killed. And that definitely isn’t the law.

Supreme Court OKs racist gerrymandering.
Texas clearly did a racial gerrymander, which is illegal.

A district court found that Texas did a racial gerrymander, rejecting the new map because it is illegal.

But the Supreme Court reversed it.

Because? Must assume the gerrymanderers were acting in good faith (despite the evidence otherwise).
