Me, I’ve been dropping relevant Project 2025 rundowns in any story I can (there’s a lot). My analysis, reading across sections of the “Mandate” document, of Project 2025’s vision of straight white patriarchal power was pub’d in February: newrepublic.com/article/1788...

It's why they barely touched Chevron despite it being one of the most consequential SCOTUS decisions in decades. Regulatory stuff isn't fun to report.

I haven't worked at those levels. wish i knew. i think it's a mix of what the readership indulges and what top editors demand -- and it's a lot of dems in dissary on both sides.

Can we say the obvious? Trump is a deranged freak who is using the sickest theocratic freaks alive to enact revenge on everyone who isn’t a slimy, rich date raping suck up or their wives. In comparison to anyone, he is mentally unfit and only has supporters who want to do mentally unfit things.

Project 2025 is the endgame in Trump's war on the "deep state." Find out how this conspiracy theory was birthed out of the FBI trying to investigate a bunch of his staffers who were trying to rip him off in the new Ball of Thread.

Whenever you think Republicans aren't good at politics, keep in mind we've spent the two weeks since the Supreme Court gave the most corrupt, anti-rule of law president in American history an invitation to be a king discussing the difference between being 78 and 81.

Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

NEW BALL OF THREAD:

3| TAPPED (into narcissism)

The FBI found several staffers trying to rip Donald Trump off.

@emptywheel.bsky.social shows how Trump’s narcissism turned that into an attack on him personally.

And the "deep state" conspiracy theory was born.

There are so many good points from Don here, including that Project 2025 shows how authoritarians adapt and why it's smart to focus on the personnel part of Project 2025 as much as the policies, which are basically just typical GOP policies rounded up to the highest possible number.

I do not like the Grateful Dead, but this was a wonderful three-hour listen, and a perfect pair for the Velvet Underground “White Light/ White Heat” episode. (which was also three hours long)

Can't decide if this is a terrible pitch or an okay pitch for my favorite single podcast episode ever: Would you be willing to listen to a three-hour podcast about one Grateful Dead song if it explained the 1000 true fans thing, the Dead’s popularity, and why Silicon Valley has gone so far right?

This is particularly important to understand because Trumpist authoritarianism is the descendent of Jim Crow far more than say Hitler or Pinochet or Orban, and it's going to look a lot more like 1930s Mississippi than 1930s Berlin.

With medically treated humility, I say: we put out 2 podcasts that are especially useful today! 1. A new Ball of Thread about the comic beginnings of the Trump/Russia investigation. It's remarkable how fair Marcy is to Republicans, who made their biggest mistakes out of shame. They've changed!

I don't take the age thing seriously. THEY PICK A LIE ABOUT EVERY DEM, and the press knows it's some BS but plays along. They know that the other guy is worse in every way, especially his brain. They turned being a war hero into a liability against a fortunate son draft dodger.
