They’re madder at Biden for being 81 than they are at Trump for holding one of their colleagues hostage with the guy who is raping his way into Europe

I still think it’s extraordinary how the NYT doesn’t think fascism is worth crusading against like old plagiarism, trans care, or private email servers.

If any other high-profile presidential candidate gave one speech this rambling and unhinged, it would be a major story. Trump, of course, has given dozens of such speeches in this campaign cycle.

Vague, or expansive delegations in recognition of the difficulties of legislating and writing "complete contracts"? Seems like legislative intent is often pretty robust.

Full quote from ex-ICE director Tom Homan: "Trump comes back in January... I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen. They ain’t seen shit yet. Wait until 2025.” Tonight in Florida Trump pledged to bring Homan back. Homan, BTW, is a listed Project 2025 contributor.

An information cascade of stampeding stories can do that. The only question now is whether the press has doomed the Dems or not. That probably still depends on Biden's public actions over the next month or two.

SCOTUS essentially restructured American governance over the last couple of weeks. Even if you can get past the 8 million Biden old stories in the Times to the people whose job it is to cover the court, you would have no idea of the scale of the changes made.

I am (reluctantly, but still) happy to see a smidgen of momentum for increasing the size of SCOTUS. But for that to happen, Biden must win and Dems must hold serve in the Senate.

After decades of activism, Joe Biden’s administration finally was the one to ban USDA’s Wildlife Services division from deploying cyanide bombs on federal BLM lands. These things have killed pets and injured recreationists, and killing carnivores is bad policy anyway. Biden got it done.

Yeah. And like… I appreciate pushing back on the idea that reporters have zero leeway in their work, but at the grey lady we have seen the leadership berate and threaten people who raise internal objections to, say, their anti-trans push, that it’s clear they shape what gets covered and how.

If there's one meme or talking point that played a central role in the American fascist tradition, it was the claim that "Communism is Jewish." This is how fascist antisemites tried to appear as "normie" anti-communists, by saying they were just pro-Christian. sethcotlar.substack.com/p/antisemiti...

The official 2024 GOP platform makes a reference to "Christian-hating Communists" who the Republicans will keep from entering the country. Back in the early days of the America First movement, "Christian-hating Communists" would have just been a longer way of saying "Jews."

I think billboards highlighting each chapter of Project 2025 placed in specific locations. For example the chapter on gutting military benefits should have billboards on highways near big military bases. Plans for destroying Social Security have billboards all over in Arizona and Florida.
