Worth remembering that Trump tried to overturn the ACA without a replacement, which could have brought back lifetime caps and revoked coverage for pre-existing conditions. In other words, if he'd had his way, many more Americans could have gone bankrupt and died.

This has been a peeve of mine from years, something I learned during my years working for enviro nonprofits. There's nothing that we can do to stop the cities of Miami and New Orleans from getting flooded too much, too often, and it's going to happen A LOT sooner than we think.

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.

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)

Keeping Trump out of the White House isnā€™t the only thing that needs doing and it isnā€™t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isnā€™t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I donā€™t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

I kinda feel like now that the Supreme Court has declared it legal for a president to straight-up murder people they don't like, it's probably even more important to not elect people who seem extremely inclined to murder people they don't like

My family lived in Franco's Spain (early 70s) & yes it was normal/boring. Unless you were gay, in which case you lived in fear of being abducted one night & imprisoned/killed. Same if you made critical comments in public. Same if you worked for someone Franco disliked. So... boring, but terrifying.

reflecting on the immunity decision a bit, what the Court seems to be saying is that every element of the executive branch is at the Presidentā€™s disposal, no matter what he wants to use it for. his motives donā€™t matter. the office is a weapon to be wielded however he sees fit.

The President was declared a God King today, came out and protested his being given that power, and literally every question the media asked was about him staying in the race. They are complicit. We must hold them accountable if we can ever hold anyone accountable.

if they'd quietly caved to the homophobes and racists, I would never have known and kept on buying my chicken feed there. Nope, they had to make an annoucement that they were caving to bigots and racists.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.
