Trump is trying to get ahead of the reality that he and the heritage foundation are working to destroy America and institute a fascist dictatorship. He is lying and expecting the media to gaslight America for him.

I'd settle for that "I have my 500 followers back from Twitter and can continue to hope I'll have a career as an author someday" energy, lol.

This is the editorial view of the guy who controls which posts get shown on Vichy Twitter and which get buried. Insane that journalists continue to use it as a source of information and contribute to its legitimacy

I know it will not calm anybody, but here’s two explanations of the thing Biden said: 1) his brain told a perfectly functioning mouth to say he was a black woman, a thing he believed 2) a true thing he was saying got a bit garbled between brain and mouth. Zero people believe (1).

Insane to me that this isn't completely disqualifying. For all my hatred of GOP politics, I have never once wished them dead. Apparently the feeling is very much not mutual.

I don’t know how to explain to our nation’s top editorial boards that the Democratic Party is an actual organization with a lot of rules and history to it, not just a store that distributes team jerseys, and it has already selected delegates to its nominating convention.

I hope I have enough strength and fortitude to actually see my work published before I die. I have felt my health at the breaking point this year and I know that I am out of time to fix things. I am now in a race against my own inertia to write and exercise. For the jelly bean.

Things are pretty fucked up and the future is uncertain — probably the worst in my lifetime (perhaps excepting 1969 before I can remember). When it’s like that, I like to think about my grandparents and what they faced and got through with the Great Depression and WWII. /1

This is true and Harlan Crow and Charles Koch are smart enough to know they don’t really need more justices on SCOTUS. They have what they need. What they now aim for is a full authoritarian coup. That’s why billionaires put $100M into Project 2025. We are already in the crisis.

“Politics would be interesting again,” is a hell of a thing to say generally and also, for these commentators, obviously untrue. Nothing about any replacement process will be as arousing to them as the prospect of forcing the renominated president out of the race with enough poison pen columns.

This has been a thorn in my side re: the American political landscape; countless articles bemoaning the polarization of America and the loss of civility. As a queer person, it’s hard to see a path to compromise and civility when the right wing has been openly saying I shouldn’t exist my entire life.

Either the Democrats will run Biden, or he'll say he can't continue the campaign and Democrats will run Harris. Either is newsworthy, but neither is nearly as radical as running a pro-insurrection convicted felon with legal immunity he's eager to use.

i think akhil amar reed captures something very important, which is that the roberts court rewrote article ii, which explicitly states that a president can be held criminally liable after impeachment (and which has long been understood to mean that he can be held liable after leaving office)

While DOJ independence was already a dead letter for purposes of a second Trump term since Attorney General E. Trump or J. Turley or whoever will have been chosen expressly because he's willing to take orders, also worth noting that Roberts blessed POTUS telling AG whom to prosecute.
