Crazy idea: Democrats should defend immigration and immigrants, run on the idea that immigrants make America great, and stop Homer Simpsoning themselves into the shrubbery every time Republicans try to demagogue it.

it's darkly hilarious that foreign ministers think impotent rageposting on Elon Musk's social media platform is going to change Elon Musk's behavior

This bill would abolish ICE, DHS, and CBP, transferring legitimate customs duties to other departments. It would sunset Section 219 of the INA close the Guantánamo Bay detention facility and shutter all immigration detention centers. You have my sword, milady.

The Biden administration didn’t take Musk’s Russia-assisting intervention seriously. Treated it as something that could be addressed with contract language. Big mistake. In 2024, the US awarded SpaceX additional contracts worth billions of dollars. The next govt should go the oppoaite direction.

i think that the best way the understand conservative legal philosophy is to know that, literally, it was constructed backward from the premise that a Republican president should be permitted to commit crimes against democracy

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

every guy who has settled a civil suit for sexual assault loves this president. It's so weird how every one of them looks up to him. I really can't put my finger on why all these guys who settled out of court after being accused of sexual misconduct keep saying they love this president.

Trump: I'll let the Iranians hit Southern California The press (slur): what did he mean by this? Trump 24 hours later: I said the Iranians should hit San Diego or Los Angeles. With a missile. It will be traumatic.

When Trump posted a video of the Obamas as apes the NYT claimed "it was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware" that he posted it
NYT: "It was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware that the clip had been included in the video before he shared it."

There is a reassuring fantasy among those who have critiques of unfettered left-wing governance that right agrees with these critiques and will temper the left when in power. But the contemporary right isnt that, it's an apocalyptic doomsday cult that lives in an alternate reality.

So, this very sympathetic piece where the subject is “a lifelong Democrat who had voted for Trump for the first time in 2024”. 5 minutes of checking his facebook shows pro Trump posts as far back as 2019, and a post saying that he “stands with Trump” posted just a couple of days after Trumps coup.

Our country is completely and hopelessly corrupt. And it’s unlikely that there will be any accountability for any of it because all of these people will get pardons at the end of it.

we could solve the western water crisis overnight by simply charging alfalfa farmers market rates for water
Across the basin, alfalfa hay uses more than 5 million acre-feet of Colorado River water — that's 26% of all the water consumed in the basin. One acre-foot roughly equals the annual water use of two or three households.
In the Upper Basin, irrigated agriculture consumes 2.8 million acre-feet, or nearly half the water used by Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, the environment, reservoirs and water exports out of the basin. Cattle-feed crops, like alfalfa, consume 90% of all water used by Upper Basin agriculture.
That means alfalfa uses more water than cities, commercial users and industries across the entire basin:
Collectively, these users consume about 3.5 million acre-feet, or 18%, of the river's water. The Colorado River

Is he not saying that “abundance” was a mistake and that we should be unifying around moral opposition to fascism? Feels like you’re all weirdly misreading your own Marxist theory into this, when he’s just calling Ezra Klein a bitch.

trans people are also just flatly correct to rage at Dems for wavering on trans rights because immigration advocates did not do so when Dems started wavering on immigration under Obama and that led us to Biden adopting Trump I immigration policy almost wholesale
