So Republicans have decided such progress shouldn't occur any more. If private capital can't make such things happen, they don't want them to happen.

Back in the 90s bill clinton empowered massive media consolidation that boosted figures like Rupert Murdoch. Today’s Democrats don’t seem to have learned anything and you have Rob Bonta, Gavin Newsom and DC Dems giving Ellison a pass.

There is a HUGE amount of peace that comes with theological determinism (you see this in the show from one of the characters too). Because if everything is predetermined in life then a murderer killing someone is as natural as a leaf falling from a tree and it is pointless to worry or apply morality

I was deputy M.E. at the WSJ when Murdoch took over, with a similar “editorial independence board.” Within 4 months, our top editor was gone, replaced by a loyal Murdoch deputy. That board raised a quivering objection, but the deed was done. If the Ellisons own CNN, they’ll do whatever they want.

If the Fed has to raise rates this week, it will be due solely to the foreign and domestic policy of Trump and the Republican Party. They will, as always, lash out at others and attempt to shift blame. But it is a straight line between their policies and rates rising.

What 9/11 showed is that Osama bin Laden understood the US would tilt into madness after an attack. And we did everything possible to prove him right. We dishonored the dead, made our country crueler, and started wars that killed up to a million people. That should also be what we remember.

Worth considering just doing it now. His value is as a 51st vote for Schumer and, as you say, he’s not going to provide that so you might as well send the message now that you can’t be a member of the Democratic Caucus if you’re a speaker at the fucking Republican convention.

FDR raised the debt percentage more than any president in history--almost $180 billion, nearly 700%--during WWII. $180 billion in 1940 is $4.25 trillion in today's money. Donald Trump has increased the national debt by three times that.

It is baffling to me that anyone can look out their window in 2026 and conclude anything but that the maximally alarmist position on Trump 2.0 was fundamentally correct. I’m relieved he hasn’t achieved everything he’d have like less than two years in, but that’s pretty slender comfort.

also, describing a lack of legislative capacity as a point against authoritarian consolidation misses the point: the defining feature of Trump’s second term is consolidation of power in the *executive* - the lack of legislative authorization makes him more authoritarian, not less
At the moment, Trump 2.0 has no great popularity, no legislative capacity, no policy legacy that a Democratic successor can't easily roll back.
