The Epstein files are (of course among other things) one nightmare blunt rotation after another.
Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”
This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

I am Irish Catholic and I'm not going to pretend like I can speak for all Jews or even some Jews, but I really wish that when people were (entirely justifiably) attacking Stephen Miller they'd stay away from using antisemitic tropes.
This is what the Republican party has become. The GOP: instead of Grand Old Party. It's Guardians Of Pedophiles (Trump), Or Goons on Patrol (ICE- Homan, Noem, Bovino).

It’s an affront to the idea of a written constitution that this case will reach oral argument.

The way to square this circle — to make this more than “a law that says you must obey the law” — is for the new law to provide a new *remedy*, ideally a retroactive one (which confirms “this was always the law”).

Pool’s aspiration is to be Salacious B. Crumb to Trump’s Jabba.
Tim Pool: “I’m not licking the boot. It’s my boot. I voted for it. I’m the one stomping…”
This mindset is genuinely pathetic.
It’s an alpha fantasy: watching state violence and imagining you’re exercising power rather than the one submitting to it.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

God I wish reporters, especially legal reporters, would stop reporting the figure in a complaint’s ad damnum clause like it’s the “value” of the suit. This is no more a “5 billion dollar lawsuit” than it is a “78 trillion dollar lawsuit” or a “10,000 dollar lawsuit.” The numbers are meaningless!
U.S. President Donald Trump has filed a $5 billion lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase on accusations of debanking, according to a complaint posted on the CNBC website.

people don't secretly yearn for Yarvin Thought if Blake Masters and Ron DeSantis ate shit. what happened is a guy who built a career over 40 years where his last name became a shorthand for "success" exploited America's weak party system and got lucky.

The decision has been written, I’m pretty sure. And the notion that this really might be the thing that sinks us economically for a generation or more only seems to have dawned on the hard nosed economics Republicans today. So I’m not exactly sanguine.
I admit I'm a little confused as to why a consensus seems to have formed that SCOTUS will strike down Trump's obviousl illegal tariffs. That would be correct on the law, sure, but what does that have to do with anything? They'll strike it down if they feel that it saves Trump from himself (possible)

One important difference between Nazi Germany and the US was that in Germany ordinary ‘decent’ citizens sided with the Nazi thugs and joined the racist attacks. Thankfully in the US we are currently seeing the opposite.

We’ve gone from never beating the “one note crank” allegations to “let’s have a talk about whether it’s time to surrender the driver’s license.”

“Munchausen by Nazi” is a major achievement.
Trump causes the problem and then demands the Insurrection Act as a solution to the crisis of his own making which then leads to more conflict. I believe psychiatrists refer to this phenomenon "Munchausen by Nazi." www.childrensmn.org/educationmat...
The Sinister Reason Trump Is Itching to Invoke the Insurrection Act
An authoritarian’s dream, the Insurrection Act is ripe for abuse — and Trump’s Cabinet is already setting up his justification to use it.

I've seen some folks giving into doomerism by citing the US's history of paramilitary violence shutting down fair elections in the South, and I want to add some historical context to support Jamelle here (as an historian of Reconstruction paramilitary violence)
the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.
