The @nytimes.com decided last year what the story was; Trump II was the righteous punishment visited upon their interns and junior staffers and grandchildren for being so annoying about MeToo and BLM, and once they understood that and repented, they could have democracy back.

Just insane thing for a NYT editor to say publicly:

these are a different set of republican racist texts than the previous set of republican racist and nazi texts

So the dealbreaker is admitting you’re a Nazi

Republicans set to reject Trump nominee Ingrassia after offensive texts

Actually a "return to normalcy" is exactly what I want.

I'm not lifting a finger to oust MAGA if DSA is what's going to replace it.

There's a standard and highly limited Andalusian menu -- ham, potatoes, white bread, oily everything, f'ing croquettes -- that barely varies from restaurant to restaurant, and there are very few exceptions. Like you gotta *work* to find anything else, any other cuisine.

ICE increased weapons spending by 700% — including purchases of chemical weapons and guided missile warheads.

ICE was always going to be Trump’s private military to deploy domestically against Americans.

Pay attention.

I’m not saying they’re Nazis. I’m saying being a Nazi isn’t a deal-breaker for them. I’m saying at a minimum they’re Good Germans.

The Holocaust was the result of a thousand years of European antisemitism, built up over a decade by a fascist regime that made genocide its first priority.

We are going to kill 14 million people because one Nazi-following weirdo with an overpriced car company was briefly popular with Donald Trump.

I don't doubt smashing USAID was a Musk priority but Rubio has been deep in the weeds of some deranged conspiracies on the right for years while his senate colleague pretended not to notice

your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study
