The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

In just hours yesterday, a Trump supporter assassinated Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota. An SUV plowed into a No Kings protest in Virginia. Gunfire at the Salt Lake City rally left one critically injured. Republicans need to stop this violence.

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

Look at Trump’s Truth Social post. Consider his call with Newsom. He is incoherent, insane. Failure of corporate press to say that every day as he is taking us down the road to a police state is the gravest journalistic malpractice in American history. They will never redeem themselves.

It’s very possible to exploit the insane Musk/Trump rift, message against the Medicaid/SNAP cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill, & rail against the lawlessness & corruption of the Trump admin all at once. Dems should stop telling people to ignore the news. You can’t stand on the shore & block the tide.

The best part isn’t the entertainment, as great as it is. MAGA civil war means they will likely be unable to pass anything. Like maybe not even by Sept when the debt ceiling hits. They may well have a shut down🤣 It also means they will not have the cohesion to pull off their autocracy plans

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...
There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Hey Trump, you're never supposed to say "Happy Memorial Day" – it's not a day of "Happy" – it's a solemn day to remember, honor, and mourn those in our military who gave their lives for our country. Remember Arlington? Aisne-Marne Cemetery? We do.

It’s getting lost in the noise, but the “Big, Beautiful Bill” just passed by the House GOP basically removes health care coverage for gender-affirming care for ALL trans people. Not only trans youth but trans adults, too. Only the most privileged trans Americans would still have coverage.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?
