By condemning violence and trying to safe-guard Californians’ right to protest, he is striking a balance that could resonate with Americans beyond the Golden State, and perhaps help unite a Democratic Party that seems fractured and aimless

The Trump administration is engaging on an all-out assault on the institutions, workers and standards that make learning and knowledge production possible, in the hopes of securing political dominance forever. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

These various initiatives and policy changes are often regarded as discrete problems, but they comprise a unified assault. The Trump administration has launched a comprehensive attack on knowledge itself, a war against culture, history, and science. If this assault is successful, it will undermine Americans’ ability to comprehend the world around us. Like the inquisitors of old, who persecuted Galileo for daring to notice that the sun did not, in fact, revolve around the Earth, they believe that truth-seeking imperils their hold on power.

It's always fun to watch MAGA devour itself. www.cnbc.com/2025/05/28/e... This just cracks me up because Elon really doesn't give a fuck about government spending. He got what he wanted, neutering or disposing of the agencies that he sees as impeding his businesses.

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

Trump is still running all his businesses while selling random junk. He has a publicly traded company, and he can easily be bribed. He once again will be in violation of the Constitution day 1. Corporate media should do their damn jobs and focus on it, instead of sanewashing him and his nominees.

I’m starting to think that the longer we shield Trump voters from the worst economic outcomes, the worse things actually will get. Sometimes people just have to find out the hard way, sad as that is. Yes, we will suffer. But at least they will learn that elections do have consequences.

This makes little sense on its own terms, since both countries have already cracked down on border crossings. But it's almost surely not the real reason; Trump just wants tariffs — probably because they make him feel that he's being tough — and is making up reasons 3/

I'm not exaggerating: as a historian I consider it to be historical fact that this is one of the most shameful documents in the history of the United States. It's a concession by federal law enforcement that there's no means available to it to punish one of the biggest traitors in American history.

Remember when Donald Trump said that he made a better NAFTA deal with Canada and Mexico? Clearly that was a lie since he is slapping us with a 25% tariff tax on everything we import from those countries once he gets into office.
