One thing I did not include in my profile of Trump's BLS nominee, E.J. Antoni, is his boosting anti-Churchill far-right histories!

EJ Antoni post: Highly recommend Churchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War": How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World. Among other valuable historical information, it details how British statesmen gloated about starving German civilians to death.

one of the smart things that Newsom is doing here is implicitly calling out the insanity of how much Trump has been normalized by media by forcing them to think about what it looks like when somebody else does it

Because the message we want Dem electeds to internalize is, “Hey, if a total asshole like Newsom can get all this praise for fighting Trump, just thing what it could do for me.”

Yup Also major media orgs are heavily concentrated in urban areas, and even minor ones (like local TV stations) tend to be in the local metros so urban crimes get way more media traction

If you want to get the state to prosecute fraud aggressively there's a very simple way to do it: identify an alleged fraudster who is poor. Once the fraud is successful they lose all their pep and verve

it is incredible to see the extent to which the Sensible Centrists are simply incapable of grasping the very simple and obvious fact that the president's concern with crime is a pretext, and that to deny claims of a sudden epidemic in crime is not to say that crime is nonexistent.

The architects of Trump’s policies openly communicate with fascists and fetishize neo-Nazi fantasies of race war and violent dictatorship, but in the storied hallways of the New York Times, you are still required to hold, as a default, the view that this is all about wanting to reduce crime levels

The thing about the “the courts are a sick joke therefore there’s no point in contesting even cases clearly in our favor” is that irrefutably demonstrating the court is a sick joke is a necessary step to delegitimizing it if that is indeed the case.
