Embarrassed that it took me this long to pay up. I've been relying on Aaron since 2020. Anyone who doesn't follow him literally cannot understand who Trump is. Posting to encourage anyone else who's been putting off becoming a paid subscriber.

i don’t know how to make it any plainer that the vast majority of dem voters believe holding people accountable IS part of “getting back to work”

I'm mostly a "socialize healthcare and housing" guy, but I'd also be pleased to see this kind of focus on strategy going forward.

Wait. They all shake hands at the end? What are we even doing here? He's the US President suing you for $20 billion for reporting on the birthday card he sent his friend the pedophile in which he drew a naked girl & mused about secrets. And they all shake hands?

THIS. We’ve come to learn that many of these powerful men are hypersensitive babies. Going after their egos likes this should become common.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

Who the fuck keeps a diary? And who the fuck then shows it to @ronanfarrow.bsky.social ? God these tech guys are such dorks.
Internal records show that the founders had private doubts about the nonprofit structure as early as 2017. That year, after Musk tried to take control, Brockman wrote in a diary entry, "cannot say that we are committed to the non-profit... if three months later we're doing b-corp then it was a lie." Amodei, in one of his early notes, recalled pressing Brockman on his priorities and Brockman replying that he wanted "money and power." Brockman disputes this. His diary entries from this time suggest conflicting instincts.
One reads, "Happy to not become rich on this, so long as no one else is." In another, he asks, "So what do I "really" want?" Among his answers is "Financially what will take me to $1B."

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

@governor.ca.gov @govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov Something to consider: Chicago City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin announced that the city’s $10 billion portfolio her office controls will no longer invest in U.S. Treasury bonds to protest what she calls the “authoritarian regime” shorturl.fm/eUSNG

Chicago treasurer will no longer invest any of city's $10B portfolio in U.S. Treasury bonds to protest Trump
The unilateral decision by city of Chicago Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin infuriated conservative City Council members.

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people: Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

Trump to generals: "America is under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don't wear uniforms. At least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out."

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Trump calling for the impeachment of a judge who ruled against him. Calling him “crooked.” If this isn’t fascistic, what is? (Also, the media will sanewash this but anyone else who talks or writes like this would be sent to one of the mental asylums Trump thinks migrants are coming from!)

Trump Nominee 'Wholeheartedly Supports' His Plan To Abolish the Department of Education
“President Trump believes that the bureaucracy in Washington should be abolished so that we can return education to the states, where it belongs,” Linda McMahon wrote.

This does add texture to the situation. I'm trying to read with compassion. I don't know what it's like to receive death threats. However, the cynic in me wonders if this isn't just a story so Republicans can support Trump now, and later said they had been compelled by violence.
According to one source with direct knowledge of the events, North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about “credible death threats” when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary. Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm the former Fox & Friends host to lead the Pentagon. According to the source, Tillis has said that if people want to understand Trump, they should read the 2006 book Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work. (When asked for comment for this story, a spokesperson for Tillis said it was false that the senator had recommended the book in that capacity. The FBI said it had no comment.)

Politics is wrestling now. Can Elon be tricked into turning face? The ultimate "own" would be to "own" the ones purporting to do the "owning." He should suddenly implement the most sweeping green corporate policies ever seen. It'd be like Austin stunning McMahon or something. Let's tell him that.
