For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

Seems like the exact wrong time to look for ways to compromise with Republicans and exactly the right time to go for the jugular and secure the thousand year woke dynasty

Pew has Trump's approval at 37%. And:

"Only about a quarter of Americans today (27%) say they support all or most of Trump’s policies and plans, down from 35% when he returned to office last year. That change has come entirely among Republicans."

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Dan wrote this for the newsletter last summer, about taking his son to his first Phillies game.
I told my wife after Zack Wheeler retired the first 15 batters he faced: “If it continues like this, we’re not leaving until the game ends. I don’t care if Simon is screaming so loudly the fielders can hear him.” She’d bought tickets to the Phillies as a Father’s Day gift, and this was Simon’s first game. He is 19 months old. I did not expect to last the whole game! But if Wheeler continued to pitch perfectly, we were staying. I didn’t want to jinx it by saying the magic words, but I guess I did anyway: Austin Hays led off the sixth with a home run. But it was the only hit Wheeler would allow in his 12-strikeout, complete-game win. Also finishing a complete game? Me, Jan, and Simon. We made it through all nine innings. I was almost never able to do this as a kid. My parents say I was ready to leave after two innings of my first Phillies game. But to be fair to my younger self, the current Phillies’ park has quite a few more amenities than Veterans Stadium did. We left our seats in the third inning and did not return until the eighth. We walked around the park. We got hot dogs and pretzels. We lingered in the team store to enjoy the air conditioning. We walked into an auxiliary team store in a tent before learning it did not have air conditioning. Simon ran around the concourse area. Now that I think about it, I guess I could have done most of this at the Vet, too. Perhaps my son is just tougher than his old man. There was one truly special moment: The very first thing my son did at his very first Phillies game, before he even entered the stadium, was meet the Phillie Phanatic. Otherwise, it was a day out in the sun for my wife and me where we enjoyed the company of our kid while Wheeler mowed down Reds batters. There was nothing particularly notable about this trip to the park, except for the fact that I was doing it as a dad for the first time. Being there with my wife and son was a better treat than even a perfect game would’ve been. -Dan McQuade

This is all stupid bullshit but I remain pretty disgusted at how things like marriage and having children are treated like Xbox achievements instead of actually loving and caring for someone else. Yeah I’m going to work 70 hours a week but definitely need a spouse, her name is Beth or something idk

Dan McQuade was the lifeblood of Philly writers, a mensch whose gift for writing was only surpassed by his love of his country, Philadelphia. The city will never be the same without him.

I know I’m a homer but this was the most quintessentially McQuade story. Perfect idea, perfect execution. Dan was the only person on Earth who could’ve written this.

I only had a couple small interactions with Dan, but he once said seeing his kid’s daycare teacher wearing a Ricky Watters jersey over her Muslim garb represented so much of what he loved Philadelphia & he truly meant it.
