It’s called “populism”, look it up.
Hassett: "The way to think about what AI & its agents can do is they can act as if they're the best coach you've ever had. And so while you're trying to figure out, how do I make my boss happy? It's like you've got a coach right there with you every step of the way."

Trump's grotesque insults targeting immigrants (and his administration's recent and historic xenophobia) prompted comparisons to 1930s German propaganda. As you might expect, his allies reject the comparison. So I asked historians how valid it was.

Opinion | Trump’s racism is horrible — but it’s not 1930s Germany
Philip Bump: The Trump administration is often compared to Nazi Germany. I asked historians to weigh in.

The upshot here is not that there is no comparison. It is, instead, that Nazi propaganda was more extreme — and that its effects unfolded over time. We are not at 1945 Germany, but one historian I spoke with figured maybe we were at about 1930, which is by itself not great.

Yes, AIPAC. I do support human rights. Thanks for noticing!
![A fundraising email sent by AIPAC that says:
Dear [REDACTED],
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has announced her retirement, and Illinois' 9th District will have an open primary for the first time in decades. Wasting no time to enter the race is anti-Israel detractor Kat Abughazaleh, a 25-year-old "social media influencer". Kat does not mince words when it comes to her thoughts on Israel and the bond between our two nations. Her radical foreign policy agenda includes:
• Calls for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state and labels Israel's presence in the West Bank as an "illegal occupation".
• Baselessly blames Israel for the deaths of "tens of thousands" of Palestinians, without recognizing Hamas' initiation of the conflict on 10/7/23.
• Promotes the International Criminal Court, a biased, antisemitic institution targeting Israel under the false guise of justice.
And she's not just loud, she's well-funded - Abughazaleh has already raised nearly $1,000,000, positioning her as the financial frontrunner in the early stages of this race. If we don't act now, she could win.
She poses a direct threat to our mission and the future of Israel's security.
Fortunately, we have a fighter of our own: Illinois State Senator Laura Fine.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ats4shmeia7i7ildqm3denmd/bafkreie3alhaaxwvbtdqtff5io2igfu3enefx2j6gqh7ja6rqu4une3etq@jpeg)

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell
JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too
D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?
J: I didn't see it
D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.
