This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

Dem Leaders Decide to Bury Damning Report on Why Trump Won in 2024
The Democratic National Committee has completed its long-awaited analysis on what went wrong in the 2024 campaign. But in a move that will attract intense criticism, it’s keeping the findings secret.

Notice how Trump and Republicans were having the worst couple weeks in the administration's history and they decided to pivot to hardcore attacking trans people?

He never disclosed that he’d visited Epstein in that column and did a lot of hand waving to insist that he and his fellow elites had nothing, nothing at all to do with him.

I think if you are narrating an audiobook about (among other things) mesoamerican history you should be able to pronounce “adobe,” “agave,” “Tenochtitlan,” and any narrator should not say “casual” for “causal.”

I agree. Either he didn't disclose it to his editors either and this is a colossal violation of conflict-of-interest rules, or he did, in which case someone has a monumental amount of explaining to do.
David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.
He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

I went to a black barber for the first time yesterday and he told me his health insurance was going from $68 a month to $180. A friend who has been struggling with IB issues and UTIs is not signing up on the market because his rate jumped from $150 to $400. I am not even bothering to look lol.
MIKE JOHNSON: Here's the false narrative -- Democrats are pretending as though this affects everybody in the country. It affects 7% of Americans, this extended subsidy
CNBC: But we are talking 22 to 24 million Americans
JOHNSON: We're going to help 100% of Americans reduce their premiums

Members of Congress should act for the interests of the American public—not for their personal financial gain.
That's why House members need to advance the bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act, which would finally end congressional stock trading.

Actually some of the most significant things you could do to stop antisemitism is to call it out at your public events (which you failed to do), call out groypers & Tucker Carlson (which you failed to do) & condemn Nazi-aligned parties in Germany (instead you tried to elect one).

One of the great failures of contemporary political news coverage in a lot of media is the unspoken principle that no violation of norms or decency by Trump is really news, worthy of sustained attention, unless it also upsets people who love him. It isn't "not taking the bait"; it's sleepwalking.

Don't throw him a lifeline with another question if he dodges. Have each other's backs and demand he answer the question.
