Weeks ago, I spoke directly with Major Jason Watson regarding his planned act of civil disobedience. What I do not hear enough people discussing is the broader constitutional strategy behind his message. 🧵

This an official Vatican photograph of Leo at Lampedusa, Italy - one of the world’s heaviest migrant sites - where he went this morning to pray for migrants who died at sea. This is after turning down the offer to come to the United States.

I’m reading There Is No Place for Us, by @brian-goldstone.bsky.social and one thing keeps hitting me over and over: Homelessness is rarely a single event. It’s a cascade. A cancer diagnosis. A lost job. Depression. A missed paycheck. A broken car. A wait for mental healthcare. An eviction. 🧵

This administration is always coming up with ways to drain our nation's treasury. If it's not starting wars, encouraging bogus discrimination claims by white men, giving former Trump advisors >$1M because Donald is still mad at the Biden's FBI, it's Trump making a spurious $10B claim vs. the IRS.

Donald thinking the whole world has become "something of a casino" makes his bankrupting and destroying it a whole lot easier to understand.

Even saying that Musk is posting "about race" is softening what is happening here, which is that the world's wealthiest person is committing himself to spreading overt Nazi propaganda.
"Elon Musk’s near-daily online posts about race are turning off some fans
The billionaire posted 850 times on the topic in recent months, almost triple the rate for the previous two years."

In fairness, the issue of "affordability" usually bores Donald to sleep. Had the topic been shiny gold trinkets—or underage blondes—he would have remained more than alert.

Journalists who are still attending the WHCD this year don't seem to get just how much things have changed. It isn't 1998. You're not going to pose for cute photos with the West Wing stars at "nerd prom." You're enabling a regime who's assaulting your own profession & you're torching your career.

“The president has shown people what relationships can look like.” And it’s not pretty. Donald *always* cheats in relationships. Just look at his many marriages and mistresses.

I understand why Putin wants to destroy America, and I can guess why Trump is helping him do it. But I'll never figure out why Congress is letting him get away with it.

I live in NJ. The state of NJ, in both percentage and absolute terms, lost more manufacturing jobs than any other state in the union and it's not even close. Every single NJ county lost more jobs than the US average, and most lost >58% of jobs And yet, nobody interviews "the forgotten man" here.

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right. But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime "American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."
