It’s tyranny and fascism
No policy is worth it
No amount of security is worth it
No amount of winning is worth it

It really feels like the wheels are starting to come off for the administration this week. Is the inevitable crash FINALLY imminent?
MS NOW EXCLUSIVE: “President Trump is considering removing Kash Patel as FBI director in the coming months, as he and his top aides have grown increasingly frustrated by the unflattering headlines Patel has recently generated.”

A roundtrip LAX-JFK flight in the late 60s was around $3K in today’s dollars. The people who wore suits on those flights were the people who regularly wore suits. Complaining about informally-dressed fliers is complaining that the wrong sorts of people are flying today.

Weighing in on #StarWarsRanking I won’t do the full list
I really enjoyed Rogue One; but I see some validity in criticism if it too. When I saw The Last Jedi, I said it was my favorite Star Wars movie; I think that may still be true. Empire and Revenge of the Sith are up there.

The "But did he MEAN it?" talk about Trump drives me mad. I'm sure the question of whether he is an actual murderous dictator or merely a paranoid rageaholic screaming into TruthSocial will make for a good "Interesting Times with Ross Douthat" or ten, but both are disqualifying, so why split hairs?

The press is not subordinate to any person, no matter how “highly respected.”
Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?
TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions?
I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?

Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

I will say it again; the Democrats need openly create a list of civil servants called the Dirty Dozen that will be subject to impeachment in 2026, The Constitution provides that “… all civil Officers of the United States” are subject to removal from office upon impeachment.”

I think it’s this and also the fact that he just does everything in the open. People are left in such shock at the audacity that he just gets away with it.
Trump's super-power is that he simply refuses to acknowledge political wounds that would instantly kill anyone with a modicum of shame. Which has worked well enough for him that many people have fooled themselves into believing he isn't wounded at all. But he is! He always has been!

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.
He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.
Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Shea Whigham as Roscoe Conkling is such insanely good casting that you have to be at my intersection of Character Actor Sicko and History Sicko to fully appreciate but fortunately that's like hundreds of thousands of people on here

This is true. When they first announced the cast, I thought they had the casting reversed because Shannon plays crazy so well. I was very wrong; this was amazing casting.
MacFadyen is the most Charles Guiteau motherfucker who's ever lived. The part he was born to play.

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."
