You know what kind of person doesn't mind being called a fascist? A fascist.
Reporter: “Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?”
Mamdani: “I’ve spoken about—”
President Donald Trump: “That’s OK. You can just say yes. It’s easier than explaining it. I don’t mind.”

Jason Willick be like "So what we're supposed to fire ALL the men who emailed a know pedophile about their inappropriate advances toward much younger women they had power over?"

This is a radicalizing moment for a lot of people. How big is the cognitive jump from "wow all these wealthy people seem really terrible" to "you must be really terrible to accumulate that much wealth"?
It’s pretty dark that the absolute best case scenario for a lot of these guys is just that they really liked ol Jeff Epstein as their friend

My feed is way too pun-heavy lately. I need to diversify with some observational stuff, like glasses jokes or a telescope bit.

I can imagine there may be a handful of young folk that joined ICE naively thinking they were going to be keeping citizens safe from violent criminals, but it's clearly overwhelmingly men that just enjoy hurting people.
After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

In my life time there have been 7 government shutdown costing billions of dollars and each and every one of them was because of Republicans. I'm just so tired.

Imagine how furious these senior military career veterans are going to be getting lectured on "warrior ethos" and "standards" by a guy who barely made major before taking up drinking and going on TV full time.
This is going to end up being the most pointless and expensive "this meeting could have been an email" in history.

Once again, if one wanted to intentionally destroy the country with a tiny shred of plausible deniability, this is how you'd do it.
Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.
One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

The Charlie Kirk shooting is terrible on every level. It's not justice or provoked, and it will undoubtedly make everything about our politics much, much worse going forward.

There was an assassination of a state Democratic leader in Minnesota less than three months ago. The rhetoric is already having its desired effect.
i do wonder at what point this ratcheting of rhetoric about the democratic party ends up having real life effects

It's rare in politics that you can see your attempted political strategy being tested in real time by an analogous party in another developed country that shares your language, and yet these idiots can't even bother with addressing why this isn't working for Labour.
it's just a total failure to understand the emotional and social roots of nativism, which cannot be defused with policy compromise

California, Oregon, and Washington should get used to coordinating all sorts of efforts together. We're going to need a lot of solidarity going forward.
Big news: California, Oregon and Washington State just announced a joint "West Coast Health Alliance" to counter Trump/RFK destruction of our public health system.
As I argued last week (see below), this is becoming a new frontier in Dem Gov resistance to Trump.

Graham Green was an all-time great. Every project he was a part of became instantly better for his involvement. He defined the word gravitas and had an uncanny ability to pivot that into humor. A real loss.

The four year old asked if he could "retreat from dinner," so I gave him leave to retire to the drawing room. At least my wife appreciated the joke.

The two year old was non-stop whining, so I took him to the swings where I can hear him whine but with a doppler effect.
