the WH talking point seems to be "trump has been talking about tariffs for decades" which is...like, being wrong for 40 years doesn't make you less wrong? it's just more embarrassing that after all that time he still doesn't know what tariffs are. 1

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

These rumors have been confirmed, Blueskis.

Blueskis, I am hearing rumors that DOGE is at the NEH building.
- They will fire 50-70% of staff.
- Almost all open grants since 2021 will be closed.
- Almost all NEH Grant programs will be eliminated.
Note: this has not yet been confirmed.

Rumeysa Ozturk must not be deported. You can't kidnap someone off the street for their political views — this isn't Moscow.
She has every right to speak her mind. I've contacted the Administration. I want answers.

This is good, but on the other hand, Musk's power with DOGE is not tied to his position (which is nominally that of an advisor). DOGE is a dark network that centers around him and he can continue to shape even after he leaves his official position.
TL; DR Musk underestimated how much all of this would ultimately be blamed on him (as it should be), how much everyone would hate him, and how tired shareholders would get of his shit.
So now he's trying to declare victory while slinking away

This is the role of every authoritarian leader’s henchmen.
The thing about watching a JD Vance speech is that everyone knows he’s a little pig man. Everyone knows he exists to squeal for Trump‘s amusement. No one respects him and he clearly doesn’t respect himself.

It's not just that "every accusation is a confession"; it's also that every accusation is a RATIONALIZATION. The lie that the other side is rigging elections rationalizes vote suppression. The lie that legitimate investigations are "weaponizing government" is the excuse to weaponize government.

The performative cruelty is the point, because they absolutely cannot do this at any scale.
We're being ruled by a group of hucksters who only know how to huck. That's all Trump and Musk have ever been good at. They're trying to cargo cult authoritarianism built entirely out of PR stunts.

one rather remarkable footnote about the ozturk matter is
• six plainclothes officers on site
• and presumably support staff at hq
• stalked her for two days
• had a (private?) plane waiting to bundle her out of the state
like, they spent a *lot* of resources on this lady

RFK Jr. is not wrong. We are failing to keep our communities healthy. This message resonates with many.
But I have serious concerns about his ability and expertise to lead such a sweeping overhaul of the HHS workforce. We need accountability, not just rhetoric.

One thing that is fairly clear at this point is that the entire point of whisking people out of the country with no due process in defiance of a judge's orders to put them into a foreign gulag *was so they could produce fascist content*.

That likely means that they’re going to have to file the habeas lawsuit in Louisiana, unfortunately.
Note that while it is easy to ascribe conspiratorial motives here, there are actually no ICE detention centers in MA that hold women (not that there is any good reason to detain her).
