the FCC under the leadership of Carr is also 100% going to dismantle net neutrality and telecom oversight, and levy a multi-billion dollar tax on tech companies (that you'll pay for) to fund fiber connections you'll never actually get (not that anybody cares about telecom policy anymore)

Noticing bad things years ago is left-wing. Noticing them when it's too late to do anything about is centrist. Ignoring them is right-wing.

The latest Trump campaign talking point I’m seeing is that Project 2025 is just think tank stuff unconnected to Trump, but Trump’s “Agenda 47” is the go to place for Trump’s plans. Here’s an overview of it. Gift link. wapo.st/3XYPbTw

the implication of “unelected bureaucrats” is that they’re boring technocrats who aren’t politically accountable. that’s … exactly who you want handling regulation. judges are not disinterested, not experts, and not politically accountable. that’s obviously worse!

Wow by the "what are people talking about/what's getting clicks" standard I'm told was responsible for wall-to-wall "is Biden old" coverage, I assume tomorrow's NYT front page will be filled with Trump's Project 2025 analysis and calls for him the drop out because of it?

Gonna keep urging people to write postcards to voters in swing states or volunteer to phonebank from home. It's easy and every little bit counts and means a little bit less someone else has to do. As long as there's time, there's hope.

This is also a nice reminder that when conservatives say, "Judeo-Christian" they mean "Christian," because you know nobody at Project 2025, including the person who wrote "Judeo-Christian" below, means anything but Sunday when they talk about deciding what people can & should do on the Sabbath.

But Project 2025 is run by Trump's closest aides, raising concerns about cognitive fitness for a candidate who seems unable to recall those around him.
