I know this is beyond the point but these people once controlled the most advanced intelligence apparatus in the history of the world and today they threw the full weight of their movement behind a conspiracy theory, that unraveled in real time, because they don't know different sports teams.

I just had a second to tune into the MAHA shitshow. They have a bunch of techbros talking about longevity and how AI and tech will allow people to live longer. Of course they utterly ignore access to healthcare, income, and all other social determinants of health that actually dictate lifespan.

Everyone comparing the 2026 midterms to the 2006 midterms is underrating the likelihood that the illegal unpopular Middle East war and destabilized economy defined by unprecedented inequality could also lead to a 2007 and a 2008… And, god willing, we’ll do 2009 properly this time.

We’ve got a new example of a vulnerable Republican trying to put some daylight between himself & Trump’s political toxicity this weekend — it also converges on a theme that TPM has been focused on during Trump’s second term, as he weaponizes the executive branch for his own political aims.

I know it’s hard to imagine but before Trump came on the scene and wrecked government folks in these roles didn’t jump ship after a year. They often were long time Bureau officials who served without media attention for years.
