New: There is severe tension between the idea that Democrats need to carefully tend their national image by pandering to public opinion, and the idea that they should be freewheeling enough to appear on The Joe Rogan Experience without seeming evasive or falling back on talking points.

The Supreme Court's Republican appointees sound ready to transform the 14th and 15th Amendments into a weapon against the very racial minorities they were meant to protect—handing Republicans 15-19 additional House seats in the process. A disaster for democracy.

Trump brags about extracting $16 million from ABC settlement, says he wants to “test” the network out again. More explicit threats that if a private company doesn’t do his bidding, Trump will punish with lawsuits or government action.

This is false. For example, the libertarian @cato.org breaks down the numbers, showing about 6 deaths from right-wing politically motivated attackers for every 1 from left-wing attackers.
Moreover, the claim that shooters represent anyone other than an unhinged fraction of society is the deeper lie.

My optimism here is limited, but I really hope centrist institutions like universities and major news organizations understand that the plan is for the govt to dismantle them. They do not care if you fire your columnists or discipline staff for accurately quoting Kirk. They just want us all gone.
In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.
