This purge is bone-chilling and unprecedented. It’s straight out of the authoritarian’s playbook. Inspectors General are a vital, independent check on misconduct and abuse within the executive branch. Trump is ousting them so he can break the law with zero oversight. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/u...

Trump Fires 17 Inspectors General in Late-Night Purge

The internal government watchdogs were believed to have been dismissed at several major agencies, though the Justice Department’s was not said to have been among them.

if the world's richest man can afford to make a nazi salute but a 31 year old meterologist can't afford to criticize him for doing so, it suggests that the price of speech may in fact be slightly higher than "free"

Jamie Raskin, endorsing Kamala Harris: "JD Vance has no conviction. But Donald Trump has 34 of them, so maybe he can share."

The way she's handled these past few weeks alone have proved she's a BOSS (yet again)

Hey! Somebody else gets it. This whole week has felt like I had a massive mental breakdown. The Trump campaign designs and prints "Mass Deportation Now" signs that are gleefully held aloft by smiling white delegates, and the biggest story is still somehow Democrats anonymously attacking Biden.

Scholars often ask me what they can do, and this is a tangible thing. State and local media are, in particular, hungry for opinion pieces from experts. Lots of people targeting that media is more effective than lots of people trying to land that one NYT op-ed

Not a conspiracy theorist, but what if....those mar-a-lago boxes had secret government info (kompromat) on all members of congress and beyond. And what if...some of those members were contacted and told that if they didn't tell Biden to drop out their secrets would leak.

In the week following the debate the New York Times ran 192 stories about Biden's performance and six about Project 2025. x.com/Will_Bunch/s...

Imagine this poor man who may have known nothing about her online life and simply thought he was about to sit next to a world-famous author and have a fascinating conversation.

What will really freak me out is when big names who would be high up on his radar start suddenly leaving the US en masse if he wins.

It's true that every previous generation faced some sort of existential threat. This fails to acknowledge that it isn't just "the nazis!" or "the russians!" or "the bomb". It's the nazis, the russians, the bomb, the election, fascism locally, fascism globally, eliminationist violence, abortion, etc

I just came up with "limp dictator" and was feeling very clever about it until I checked google. The internet ruined self-satisfaction.
