And if you do that, as we must, it's not just pardons that are null. It's everything. No appointments are valid. No orders were real. No laws were validly signed. It all falls into a constitutional interregnum in which nothing he's done counts as legitimate, akin to the South under the Confederacy.

Mass pardons are coming. There will be no accountability without treating those as null and void. And that means a future administration taking an official position that Trump is not the legitimate president right now because he is disqualified by the 14th Amendment. The two things are inextricable.

It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

It's beyond complicit, the media, along with the courts, are the actual source of Trump's power. The actual administration and his allies in Congress are both flailing and incompetent, the power they have is the media and courts cleaning up their messes behind them

there's no way to explain our politics without the media being overwhelmingly complicit
Now only did White House pool reporters not stick up for their colleague who Trump repeatedly called “stupid” but you can hear them thanking Trump a few minutes later after he ended the Q&A. Sad stuff.

Vance doesn’t actually have an ideal america because he doesn’t believe in anything. the instincts of an amoeba but longing for respect he knows deep down he’ll never gain
JD Vance's ideal America is a place with half the GDP where everyone with potential and options gets the fuck out, a shithole that people from countries with actual dynamism visit to watch chintzy 'traditional' dances before going home.

This is at the 9th percentile of all approval ratings since Gallup started asking the question in 1941. It’s the second-lowest (after Nixon) of any pres 11 months into his second term.

Across mainstream news, there is a vast, intentional propaganda apparatus that distorts our conception of safety. I wrote the Copaganda book to help people understand this process, because it affects every aspect of life and public policy for hundreds of millions of people.

Virtually every newspaper and TV program in the U.S. is massively distorting your understanding of the things that are most threatening to your safety and what to do about it. These distortions demonize the most vulnerable people and lead us to ignore the harms of the powerful.

I want you to understand that while news media and politicians were fearmongering every day about shoplifting in SF (while property crime was *down*), THIS was happening: "the inhalation of one-millionth of an ounce will cause cancer with a virtual 100% statistical certainty."

dems spent 4 previous years post-failed coup trying to segregate the GOP into MAGA and non-MAGA factions and work to rehabilitate and normalize the non-MAGA ones as an effort to marginalize the MAGA faction. it was a disaster and they cannot do it again.

it’s vitally important for the future of this country that this wildly unpopular administration is tied directly to its enablers in congress and the courts and used to discredit the entire conservative movement

That's actually extremely bad. Usually what happens when a presidential approval rating dips into the 30s and 20s is less declining party approval* than pushing marginal party IDers to ID instead as independents.

*W notably did have declining GOP approval tho as a result of immigration reform

In another era, the political media would be shoveling dirt onto Trump's political grave as a hopeless lame duck and shifting their focus to the 2028 Presidential race. But in this era they'll keep rooting for the Reichstag Fire or other event to keep pretending he's popular

National Guard aren’t ICE or Border Patrol. They didn’t sign up looking to harass and repress people. They’re volunteers, part time, in case of emergency. They didn’t ask for this.

West Virginia National Guard shouldn’t have been deployed in Washington DC.

Trump's investment boom exists only in his demented brain. New orders for capital goods are below the level of three years ago, and that's before adjusting for inflation
