I think this is the correct take.

It seems entirely reasonable to me that John Bolton is both a complete fucking idiot who should be in prison and the only reason he’ll be in prison is because he’s an enemy of Trump.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

JD Vance is refusing to condemn racist and antisemitic messages from Republican groups and Trump's press secretary is saying the Democratic Party is filled with "Hamas terrorists" and "violent criminals."

President Donald Trump and his family have reaped more than $1 billion in crypto cash over the past year, thanks to an industry boom fueled by the administration’s own crypto-friendly policies.

And like this is very tonally strange for Trump. Whiny, almost.

Trump v1 would be saying things about "looking at that very strongly" and making it clear he might do it, etc.

Trump suggests he may get even more involved in prosecuting his political foes: "What we're doing is nothing. I don't have to leave it up to them. But I choose to at this moment at least."

Republicans are hyper-fixated on it for some reason, this is new and newsworthy.

I think people keep misinterpreting the no kings protests as like the final step of what that milieu is doing instead of being a constant signal of the number of people willing to throw away 3 hours of their weekend to attend some speeches.

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money

The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

Another win for comic books and horror movies that always depicted Nazis as perverted occult BDSM freaks trying to find where the Jews hid the immortal werewolf amulet.

Mr. Chau @srirachachau.bsky.social · 1d

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

I think this misses the forest for the trees. If Republicans being literal Nazis was a self-censoring fact at this point then why are this convo still in the backchannels of the internet? Also, somebody thought this shit was optically damaging enough to leak to the press.

Sam @samd.bsky.social · 1d

“many prominent young republicans are actual Nazis” is a self-censoring fact at this point

normie swing voters will literally refuse to believe it and the media refuses to report it because it would call everything else they’ve done into question

BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 2d

while 'young republicans are literal nazis' is well known to folks here, the extent of it is surprisingly not that commonly known even in media and analyst circles, let alone normal people.
