If this sounds alarmist, it's because the facts are alarming. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

The nominative determinism of this specific atrocity is off the charts here.

Incredibly alarming—after the whole ridiculous antifa roundtable at the White House, as Mark was moving with his family to Europe after threats…

There is so much in this WSJ piece on what Trump has done / plans to do with the Justice Dept it's impossible to sum it up, but:

* Indictments planned for a half dozen current / former officials Trump dislikes

* So many have resigned from that whole sections are gutted

Yet another incident that would’ve gotten any other president immediately impeached that is only the 127th worst thing Trump has done in 2025.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

The literal reading of this statement is Pam Bondi is planning extrajudicial executions of random protesters.

You cannot be fucking serious

Off-gassing residue from the case, I think.

if blue state governors and mayors aren't already thinking about the reliability of various police forces nominally under their control, they should start immediately

One day you're living in a constitutional republic, the next day the president is calling for the arrest of governors and mayors

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

True story, during the Great Recession, Airbus said that to survive it needed to open some non-EU factories in places with cheap, compliant labor, no environmental restrictions, and no meaningful labor law and after a lengthy internal study the two sites they chose were Bangladesh and Alabama.

Newsom is a NON-VIABLE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. None of the quippy clapback posts mean a goddamn thing if he is willing to throw the queer community under the bus at any opportunity he gets to do so.

During his questioning time, Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., went down a list of questions that Bondi has refused to answer during the hearing.

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

This was the plan

I think the thought experiment that explains Trump is to imagine a political figure who was the beneficiary of a magic spell where, no matter what he did, everyone else in politics and media just said “Ha! What a goof!”

That person would be untouchable, able to overthrow the government.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections
