who knows if jackson can win this thing but i am glad that he is making clear that susan collins's whole scam is to do everything she can to make life worse for mainers and then take credit for mitigating it in the slightest way possible

I’ve been wrong before, and might be wrong now, but I sort of feel like it isn’t necessary or helpful to parse trump’s most deranged utterances and give the the most charitable possible interpretation. There isn’t a clear meaning, there’s almost never a clear meeting, and that’s often on purpose.

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

Considering we see her more often than the actual First Lady, I'd say that's an accurate description. This should be a huge scandal.

I don't think the Republican Party can "go back to normal" but if it did, that just means being a vehicle for undermining government and concentrating wealth, enveloped in a bunch of dishonest obfuscatory slop. Why yearn for something to return to the exact thing that fostered it

this is the best, weirdest, most fascinating story I've ever written. I spent months on it last year & still think about it often. the international connections between far right terrorists were startling! I am really excited to see someone in South Africa try to track that woman down for comment.

I'm on the edge of my seat over here. a journalist in South Africa is digging into the subject of my absolute favorite series of episodes of weird little guys -- the South African pro-apartheid terrorist who married an American klansman.

I missed the part where banning trans people would create a magical barrier preventing cis men from entering a locker room to sexually assault women. None of the policies Rowling advocates for would have stopped this, which is already illegal!

We've reached the open use of anti trans slurs phase by Trump. Dems haven't done shit to call out Pete Hegseth and Nancy Mace doing it so now it's become normalized.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

This starts with her aggressively trying to link him to the Muslim Brotherhood. I'd like to see someone turn the tables on this. "You're Christian, right? Did you support Timothy McVeigh? Did you agree with Dylann Roof? Or Eric Rudolph? Robert Lewis Dear? No? Even though you share their religion?"
