From @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

Merrick Garland is not to blame for Trump’s return to power. The blame belongs with Mitch McConnell and SCOTUS for failing to serve as a check on abuse of power. My thoughts in The Contrarian.

#StopTheOligarchy

15 years ago today, the Supreme Court made a ruling called Citizens United that lets politicians get away with using dark money from their wealthy donors.

Billionaire donor oligarchs should not be running America — nobody voted for this.

This is not heartening. it's just further proof of Merrick Garland's incompetence. He could have prosecuted Trump in 2021 or 2022. By dragging his feet, he helped bring us here. To hell.
