Him too. AOC too. He is not the only one.

Pritzker is one of the only Democratic leaders who is not pretending this is a regular/normal administration.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Today is Oct 7th, marking two years since Hamas's horrific terror attack. I'm keeping today in my mind all those who have perished on that day, and beyond.

May the Gaza war end as soon as possible. May the hostages return safely, and may both people find a way to live in peaceful coexistence.

Absolutely. Nothing we saw in the past 9-10 months suggests these people will allow a free and fair playing field in Nov 26.

at this point you have to acknowledge that there is no way that these guys don't try to mess with the 2026 midterms. there is absolutely no respect for the legitimacy of the opposition

Stephen Miller: "Eventually elections don’t carry the day because violence beats votes… When we see a muscular response from the federal government, it’s because we’re not going to let violence beat votes."

Is he implying federal intervention determines political legitimacy, not ballots or courts?

@carotorreblanca.bsky.social , Will Dinneen, and my paper entitled "Political Science Under Pressure: Competition and Collaboration in a Growing Discipline, 2003-2023" has been (conditionally) accepted at @poppublicsphere.bsky.social.

This paper has been a labor of love. osf.io/preprints/os...

Again - the government is shut down, and it's somehow not news. I invite you to scroll down the NYT and Wao landing pages this morning.

I agree with Tom - we live in an electoral authoritarian regime. It has some fascist elements (e.g., disappearing migrants; masked agents detaining individuals without warrants), but the Trump regime is not (at least, yet) in a full fascist mode.

Bit of escapism:

Becky Hammon should be a head coach in the NBA.

Branding legitimate opposition as terrorism is dangerous and (putting t mildly) -- inconsistent with democratic norms.

Stephen Miller again lashes out at the judiciary, suggesting federal judges are aiding and abetting domestic terrorism:

Even if he manages to bring about the end of the war in Gaza, he can’t be worthy of the Noble prize because he declared war on half his own people.

In short, while we may be closest to ending the war than any time in the last two years , we are not there yet.

But there is hope. That’s not nothing.

Praying for peace, for healing , for co existence for both people.

Unclear what guarantees Hamas gets to ensure Israel keeps its part of the deal once the hostages are returned

Unclear what’s the timeline for allowing Palestinians to return to semblance of self governance.

Unclear what the exact mandate of the temp international forces.

Cautiously optimistic about the end of the Gaza war though so many details in Trump’s plan are under specified.

Unclear when Israel withdraws its forces and from what parts of Gaza.

Unclear how many Palestinian prisoners Israel will release and whom.

Oregon is set to lose an additional $400 million in federal grants awarded for climate action and is among more than a dozen Democratic states losing federal funding after the Trump administration terminated nearly $8 billion for those states this week.

If the WH won't commit to respecting Congress's power of the purse, why should Democratic lawmakers spend time bargaining on spending priorities?

It's a bit tiring to keep playing this game, but imagine the shit storm if a democratic president summoned the highest echelon of the military from all around the world for a hyper-partisan pep talk.

Interesting that Haaretz framed Trump's plan to end the war as a slap in the face of Netanyahu, while @nytimes.com views it as "triumph" for Netanyahu. Neither is entirely wrong. Netanyahu got more than he should have. But he also faces irrational coalition partners intent on sabotaging any deal.

Levelized costs of energy (LCOE, which we can also think of as cost per unit of electricity) in 2009 and 2019.

Coal is now three times more expensive than solar energy.
