This is a regime at war: With large segments of the population, with pluralistic democracy and American society as it actually exists. They are not looking to reform or compromise, they desire to destroy, conquer, and dominate.

Beware the “Trump’s political genius” fallacy! There has never been any actual evidence for his “brilliance” – and it’s a narrative that only serves to strengthen Trump while offering a convenient exculpatory tale for both those who support him and those who failed to stop him.

New Is This Democracy is out, with a discussion on why binary ideas that suggest a clear directionality - Trump is either winning or losing - are not very helpful if we want to understand America’s trajectory. Also: Some big personal news and an update on the podcast’s - hopefully bright! - future.

The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow

In 1987, a young real estate developer traveled to the Soviet Union. The KGB almost certainly made the trip happen.

Yesterday, every American who loves freedom and democracy and the other values for which prior generations fought and sacrificed found themselves aligned against our own president and vice president. The pro-American president in the Oval Office Friday was Zelensky.

The Trump Vance performance today was one of the great foreign policy fails in US history, the biggest Oval Office clusterfuck the public has ever had the chance to watch in real time. But it was much worse than that. Another piece from me. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-thinks...

Trump Thinks He Humiliated Zelensky. He Really Humiliated the United States

Trump’s Oval Office mob show proves he’s no Don Corleone. He’s Luca Brasi—with nukes.

Americans who live in blue states are extremely fortunate during this disastrous presidency, especially if we have active representatives. I wrote to our Hawaii Senator, Brian Schatz, about the federal funding freeze and its implications for Hawaii’s housing crisis. I was pleased to get this reply!

I see how that works, yes. Do you?

Tweet:

The Republicans were obsessed with Obama releasing his birth certificate, and VP Harris releasing her McDonald’s pay stubs. BUT THEY don’t want to release the report investigating THEIR Attorney General nominee for allegedly hooking up with a child? Interesting how that works!

Re: UFC champion Jon Jones & the “Trump dance,” Brian Stelter asked for a comment on Trumpism & UFC. He tweeted part of it but not sure if he’s doing the column so here are my two cents:

This is how Trumpism laughs. UFC — the melodrama of wrestling, the very real stakes of very real violence — is the embodiment of Trumpism’s joking/not-joking rhetorical style. “Can’t you take a joke? Can’t you take a punch? Let’s find out.” Gaetz, Hegseth: they’re kayfabe characters with deadly intent. On election night Trump bragged about his support about the “rough” sport; before the police union, he promised “one rough hour.” UFC: joking. Gaetz, Hegseth: not joking. We’re trapped in a meme loop of Ray Liotta’s vicious cackle from Goodfellas. I’m sure you’ve seen it; lot of Trumpers think it’s funny.

What kind of convoluted, pretzel-brain bullshit is this? If the US was invading Mexico, I would fully expect Mexico to use any weapons they had at their disposal. If Russia doesn’t want to be bombed, the simple answer is to get the fuck out of Ukraine.

Oh look at that, Comcast announced they're spinning off cable news including MSNBC and CNBC. It's not about business, it's about eliminating their political liability for owning MSNBC. I wouldn't be surprised if they're shut down by the end of next year. finance.yahoo.com/news/comcast...
