For years, Project 2025 architect Russell Vought has set out to erode our system of checks and balances of power and to concentrate power in the hands of one person: President Trump. Now he’s quietly making it all happen. 🔊 Listen to this episode: propub.li/3TzIyaA
“I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.” - Russell Vought, Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget

I’ve seen dunks on this, pro and con. Both are fine, whatever. I’m just out here to say that I can’t imagine having this kind of free time to leisurely pursue one-on-ones to preserve the culture of civility or what have you. That is all.

My beloved’s late husband, the incomparable Ted Joans, was born in Cairo Il in 1928. We visited the town in 2011 to pay our respects. It still reeks of despair. An object lesson in the ruinous dead end of racism

Folks have insulted:  My Southern drawl.  My loc’d hair.  My clothes.  My shoes.  My intelligence.  I’ve been called a ghetto Black b!t€h. Now @JDVance says I don’t belong and should leave the very country my ancestors helped build. This is a lot y’all. It is. #AngieForFlorida

I went to the grand reopening of the African American Civil War museum this week and the timing is just right — its mission to preserve Black history is more relevant now than ever

Let me remind the audience that this is not "the CDC". It is "RFK Jr's CDC", which has been taken over by his hand picked sycophants. HUGE DIFFERENCE.

What can I say? I actually did see Marcel Marceau at a small theater in Show Low Arizona the winter of 81/82. Mummenshanz opened. It was all I dreamed it would be and more. I was also a practicing mime back then if that helps explain it.

Hegseth is aspirational for some white people. He's proof that mediocrity is rewarded if you are a white man. You can always fail up. That's his appeal and make no mistake, the appeal is real.

Hive mind, settle a Gen X debate for me. What's more famous: "I learned it by watching you" OR "This is your brain on drugs" And if you need more context then you aren't allowed to answer.

It’s starting to look like the war against the machines has begun and just as we knew it would happen, it’s because some few people built the machines exactly for this to happen - they’re machinists. Machinists through and through.

I’ve had so many Christians absolutely shocked that as Jews we don’t worship Jesus. I’ve been met with utter confusion. “Ok so how does he factor then? What do you see him as?” “We don’t even think about him. He was just a random guy.” They refuse to believe me.
