Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.

Subtext on the latest episodes by @patrickwyman.bsky.social on the rise of Rome appears to be that the state prospers when elite ambitions match its agenda.

Pretty bleak, then, to see tech and finance billionaires shrugging or openly advocating for a second Trump term and the real risks it brings.

"300,000... at the most" is a longstanding antisemitic conspiracy theory based upon a misreading of a 1979 Red Cross document that discusses 271,301 death certificates issued at 13 concentration camps. Nazi documents themselves show the vast majority killed were not issued death certificates.
