If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

There is no amount of training that will turn racist secret police into anything other than racist secret police. ICE as an agency is illegitimate, full stop.
Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants
Dr Oz threatens to pull Medicaid support for Minnesota: "Sticking to the narrative that's cold in Minnesota -- this is the tip of the iceberg"

30 years ago they were like we have to ban song lyrics for the children but it’s full steam ahead for the here’s how to do drugs until you die machine
“ChatGPT started coaching Sam on how to take drugs, recover from them and plan further binges. It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, ‘Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode’”

A Calif. teen trusted ChatGPT for drug advice. He died from an overdose.
"Who on earth gives that advice?"

Is meekly begging for the minimum good politics?
At a minimum, Congress must be fully and transparently briefed and then take appropriate action.

Bombing another country and kidnapping its leader would also be wrong with Congressional approval. The outrage, and call for impeachment, should be over the evil and illegal outcome not merely the failure to follow the prescribed process.

“Irony” isn’t nearly a strong enough word
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

This insane asshole has been doing nothing but crimes since the day he took office, you're the only branch of government with the power to remove him and you're not even going to try because it might not work? Why are you even there? To feel important and do insider trading?

Just a few weeks ago, these guys said jurisdiction was so powerful that the US could not recall its own detainees from CECOT in El Salvador…

Actually, that exactly how JURISDICTION works unless you have an extradition treaty
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

Another incredible case of white racial grievance about the academic job market.

A big strong dean, tears in his eyes, came up to her and said “sir, you’re the best candidate I’ve ever seen, just A+++++ but I’m going to open myself up to a federal lawsuit by admitting we don’t hire white people. Except for the vast majority of our faculty who are white.
You’ll never guess who else experienced ‘racism’ on the job market despite their unimpeachable academic credentials.

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it
