It is still absolutely astonishing to me that the Pod Save America guys are still on Twitter/X acting incredulous at obviously fabricated right wing conspiracy theories. Did you at one point actually believe that Talarico checked into a mental hospital?

It is helpful that the Republican Party is able to clearly and succinctly describe their insanity a month before the midterm elections.

This kind of talk has always seemed to impress certain segments of the political class, but now that he’s imploding, they look like gullible suckers. He’s just a lout, nothing more. He insults people because he isn’t smart enough for anything else. He’ll become more loutish as he circles the drain.

The beauty of having absolutely zero shame is that Eric Schmitt will continue to present himself in public as though this isn’t one of the most embarrassing mistakes ever caught on camera

Good or bad sign that the media A) has to lie and B) is fine lying about something a Democratic president did in order to equivocate about what a Republican president is actually doing?

I’m so dead inside about the Giants that I’d actually be ok if they traded for JJ McCarthy. Who cares. Nothing else has worked for this team in 15 years. Maybe the one thing we all agree would not work ends up being the one thing that does

Obviously this is a hilarious and obvious lie but it's instructive in that Trump knows he's supposed to care about this thing, and manifestly does not and cannot care about it, and so he has to put himself into the story just to make it something he can talk about. He almost died that day!

There is no greater endorsement for the argument that there is no such thing as a “liberal news media” than what has been allowed to happen to the DOJ under Trump. Also Democrats raise a stink about a lot but only Republicans can bully the press into covering what they want them to cover

Leveski @nickleveski.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
Yes, the idea that you need to “investigate” Trump and build a case against him is pretty ridiculous. You either think he’s fit for office, based on what has already been deeply reported, or you’re fine with him continuing to commit impeachable acts while in office. It’s not really complicated

Not a single network aired this on their nightly news broadcasts yesterday. They described Trump overseeing a "somber ceremony" and called it a "moving moment." The only way to know what trump actually said about the soldiers he killed is to follow aaron rupar which no offense to aaron is insane

Can't get numb to this: The United States is stuck in a war it started, cannot end, and may further escalate to no avail, having dismantled its diplomatic apparatus, depleted its military stockpile, and destroyed its credibility. A historic strategic mistake harming millions in many different ways.

Again, we simply are not seeing the same scope, scale, or tone of “this is an epic failure that we will cover in a way that will end this presidency” approach that the national media took to covering Joe Biden’s not-100%-surgically-clean implementation of the thing everyone said they wanted in 🇦🇫

"documents do not back up his claims" is just a wildly inadequate way to describe a guy who lies all the damn time about everything and who has been lying all the damn time about this particular topic for a decade and who has a obvious self-interest in lying about it and who is definitely lying

Not a great sign for our diseased information environment that Warnock has to address this at all. CNN should be saying this (or ignoring it entirely) I mean, we are only (still!) debating the 2020 election because one man doesn’t like the results. And he was re-elected as president.

This is one of the rare times where the WH spokesperson is telling the truth. The idea that Trump would be elected a second time and interpret that to mean he needed to help the American people had scant evidence to support it. He was always going to think it meant that he was free to keep grifting

It boggles my mind, that media presents Trump as a real serious official, political scientists discuss his decisions, pundits talk about his policies. Meanwhile he loudly declared to the world he made an amazing discovery that "dumb" has a "b" in it.

Classic NYT headline. “Republicans have valiantly fought off an attack from the dastardly Democrats, who were rabidly trying to prevent Trump from getting access to $1.8 billion in taxpayer money to pay off his political allies. That attack has, thankfully, been thwarted.”

here's what i wrote
More so than most of his predecessors, Trump strained against the limits of the presidency. He never understood that the office was bound by higher law — that his power wasn’t absolute. He never understood that he was an officer of the Constitution and a servant of the people; he never understood that he was a subject and not the sovereign.

It was because of this fundamental misunderstanding — itself tied to his bottomless solipsism — that Trump tried to twist and turn the presidency into an extension of his ego. To the extent he failed to accomplish this, it was only because he was stymied by those around him — officials who chose to honor their commitment to the Constitution over the interests of one man. Those same officials now warn that if he is given another term in office, he will rule as a tyrant.

America got lucky. It won’t get lucky again. Free of the guardrails that kept him in place the first time, affirmed by the Supreme Court and backed by allies and apparatchiks in the conservative movement, Trump will merge the office of the presidency with himself. He will shake it from its moorings in the Constitution and rebuild it as an instrument of his will, wielded for his friends and against his enemies. In doing so, he will erode the democratic assumptions that undergird our current constitutional order. And he will have the total loyalty of a Republican Party that itself is twisting and abusing the counter-majoritarian features of the American system to undermine and unravel democracy in the states it controls.
