A quote for these times:

“The difference between the new managerial elite and the old propertied elite defines the difference between a bourgeois culture that now survives on the margins of industrial society, and the new therapeutic culture of narcissism.”

Christopher Lasch, historian.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

The “technical issue” is Stephen Miller saying the president has “plenary powers,” that Trump has the power of kings — his very word is law.

Miller glitched out because he accidentally admitted that the Trump administration is testing totalitarian waters.

Mike Johnson is a waste of skin.

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Nobody in the blue states asked for your “help,” Greg.

Tweet from Greg Abbott showing members of the Texas National Guard boarding a large military cargo plane on a runway at sunrise. Text reads:
“The elite Texas National Guard.
Ever ready.
Deploying now.”

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

Zohran sits on a bus talking to a rider sitting behind him.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and I start with this clip of me from 2024 on Jimmy Kimmel Live and we talk about how Trump told us for years what he was going to do to the country now.

"Part of what frustrates me is how much people just didn't listen to the things that he said he was going to do."

"He was telling us he would do these things....he's a sick man."

Similar to the Venn diagram of people who watch Fox “News,” and those who believe Portland Oregon is in flames and devastated by insurrectionist mobs.

Does anyone remember this?
I certainly do.

Hold #Trump accountable for this shutdown.

Those are his words 💀

IF THERE IS A SHUTDOWN I THINK IT WOULD BE A TREMENDOUSLY NEGATIVE MARK ON THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

That is correct.

The Trump Shutdown is all about avoiding the release of the Epstein files.

Why isn't Pam Bondi releasing the Epstein Files?

Over 80% of Americans want them released. Its the only thing that a majority of this country agrees on.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 7d

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

America is barreling toward one of three outcomes before the midterm elections. Today’s Office Hours discussion question is which of the three do you think is the most probable? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-where-are-we-headed
