I love the glee with which Ossoff is pinning Collins to all of Collins's far right pals.

The war in Iran is the reason gas is $5 and diesel is $7. Mike Rogers has been cheerleading the war since the beginning, calling it a win, win, win. I don't know about you, but when I fill up my tank I don't feel like I'm winning.

I'd add that there are lots of Republicans actually taking money from Elon Musk, and they are rarely or never asked about his more radical/racist statements.

At this stage it doesn't matter to me if this guy is cosplaying. I want a person who talks like this and then promises to back it up to be the next president. If there's somebody who winds up being more convincing than him in the next year or so, I'll vote for that person instead.

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.

Theories that Trump and Mike Johnson will somehow bar Democrats who win Congressional elections from sitting, thereby successfully killing off the remaining vestiges of US democracy, require candidates who just won to accept that they won’t get a seat, and for the Dem caucus to say OK to that too.

I gave a campus talk last night on Trump's first 100 days for the WUD Society & Politics group. A student asked me if I thought that, at some point, we might start to describe the US as a competitive authoritarian regime. I said that we were already there, it's just that most folks haven't noticed:

We're in a full-blown constitutional crisis, with Article I completely inoperative & Article III not clearly operative. Whatever one wants to call our current political regime, it's neither a democracy nor a republic at this point.

"Trump has moved the ethical line" drives me crazy. It pretends there are no other actors with agency in 🇺🇸 politics or the media. You could have treated this as a nonstop five-alarm scandal & crisis for democracy. You didn't do that. You did for EMAIL & BIDEN OLD. Other choices were right there.

The main lesson of the last 25 years of the GOP holding power is that they are totally incompetent at governing & everything breaks & many people die as a result (Katrina, wars, Covid, ICE, etc). Ask yourself if that ever appears as the central frame in media coverage of politics & the two parties.

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
The Trump administration says none of this is happening. 

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children." 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

My point isn't about Jack, so I'm not posting it all, but, if you're going to do a story about grappling with consequences and anguish, the journalism part should require an accurate portrayal of what needs to be grappled with — and this story does not appear to do that well.

Although this story does appear to address some real grappling and anguish, based on Jack's social media profile, this story also has some serious problems. Which is notable given that the story itself reports on Jack looking into Pierre Damas Bel's social media pages to learn about him.

The problem with this entire “talking across difference” approach to politics is that it assumes a shared consensus about democracy that no longer exists b/w the 2 main 🇺🇸 political parties. You don’t need to have lunch with people who don’t believe in free elections, equal rights, & the rule of law.
