boy Trump fucked the American auto industry. first he yanks their EV subsidies, leading them to slash production and write off tens of billions in investment, then he jacks up the price of oil by 50%, leading to skyrocketing EV demand going almost entirely to China bc GM et al left the market

Funny story: After Maryland Rep. Andy Harris blocked marijuana legalization in DC, residents would call up his office to complain about potholes and stuff. When the staffer would explain that they weren't constituents, they'd yell something to the effect of, "Then stop fucking with our weed!"

1. Yes. Correct. 2. They better. 3. Good call. 4. I know of at least 25,000 plaintiffs.

And yet, as he ringleads Trump's vengeance campaigns, Miller actively fears retribution will one day come for him. In his more honest moments, **he has told confidants about how afraid he is that liberals will try to throw him in prison after Trump is out of power,** even if Trump preemptively pardons him, which will almost certainly happen.

In these private, candid moments,
**Miller has told others that he's convinced Democrats are going to be coming after him,** his family, **and his colleagues maybe for the rest of his days.** Miller has talked about civil

investigations and subpoenas - but perhaps **the thing that stands tallest in his mind is local and state prosecutors who he says want to put him in a
"prison cell."** Federal pardons can make it harder to prosecute former
U.S. appointees locally, but such clemency does not preempt local and state prosecutions and investigations in the same way that it would federal
probes.

privileges... at least not yet!) Miller has also lamented **the possibility that liberals will be filing lawsuits against him for years, if not decades,** and complained about how the left will try to use "lawfare" to bleed him and his

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

One thing that’s difficult to explain to people who don’t live in DC, and are inclined to think we’re maybe being a touch hysterical, is how much this administration hates our city, is actively trying to ruin it, and wants to make every single person living in it as miserable as possible.

I've genuinely enjoyed @gruber.foo's writing for decades, but his "actually X isn't so bad" piece this week is awfully privileged and ignorant. Of course X is welcoming if you're a straight white affluent American male. Anyways, noted racist DHH agrees with him which should tell you everything.

I read that Ossoff told some young people that 'despair is a luxury' and that some people are mad. I think that it's incorrect to say that it is a 'luxury' but I'm with Audre Lorde who said that it is in fact a 'tool of your enemies.'

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

The oft-cited claim that October 7, 2023 was the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust ignores the fact more Jews died in the Argentine military junta's Dirty War, due in part to the link between Jews and leftism. But accepting that would lead to a very different narrative of Jewish history.

There is exactly one large, well funded organization in NYC that makes me feel unsafe specifically as a Jewish person, and it’s the ADL

•@NYCMayor Mamdani's antisemitism strategy finally landed and only confirms what we already knew: this mayor does not treat the hate facing Jewish New Yorkers as an emergency and refuses to acknowledge the different shapes it takes. Since he took office 271 days ago, ADL has recorded hundreds of antisemitic incidents in NYC, nearly 40% of which were related to Israel.
After throwing out the IHRA definition on his first day in office, nine months later, his signature strategy still refuses to replace it with any working definition of antisemitism. He has looked the other way as flags glorifying terror groups have been flown outside synagogues, a deliberate act meant to intimidate families walking in to pray, and as crowds gathered outside houses of worship voicing support for the same groups. At the same time, he continues prioritizing his anti-Israel agenda over the basic promises he made to Jewish New Yorkers.
