In some ways the fact that Trump was able to imitate this criminal probe of the Fed is a bigger deal than the impulse itself. This isn’t just retaliation angst a foe like Comey or James. It’s a direct attack on key institution of the American Republic. As I said, it’s not a surprise but it shows …

i think powell's response here is a demonstration of the folly of the idea that democratic accountability requires presidential control. what if the president is not acting in the public interest? you want independent agencies to be able to push back and pursue their *congressional mandate*

Im my ALL IN THE FAMILY rewatch, and it’s nuts how much this show remains relevant. Archie Bunker operates on fear. It’s his default setting. Fear that he’s not important, that he won’t get what he wants, that other people are having a better life than him. Carroll O’Connor was a brilliant actor.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.
