In his interview with Remnick, Klein praised how Trump “built coalitions when he thought it would serve him” and “welcomed R.F.K., Jr., and all of his voters—from Joe Rogan all the way down—into their coalition.” But he seems to misunderstand how Trump built his populist coalition. It was not—and this should be overwhelmingly obvious, but I guess it needs stating—by giving in or compromising

This explains a lot of the denial about Platner, too, IMO. I wanted to like him too, but, sigh.

It's is funny how Klein has to completely elide how Trump won (appealing to the party's extremes while selling those extremes to the public in the broadest, yet most deceptive, ways) to make the case that Dems need to waffle more.

The biggest problem voters have with Dems is that they don't fight!

We have leverage over Russia in that when we delay or signal doubt on Ukraine's cause, the Russians attack more and harder. In that sense, we are also participating in the killing of Ukrainians. www.thebulwark.com/p/mixed-sign...

Mixed Signals from Washington Cost Lives in Ukraine

Dithering, delaying, and doubting only invite Russian attacks.

Not a put on—I *seriously* thought this was an attempt at humor.

But it seems that *he* (Rob Schneider) was the one being serious.

These people are members of the most dangerous American cult of the last 150 years and possibly ever.

They are—candidly—utterly mad. They’re also in charge right now.

Maybe we should all apply and then wash out of the academy.

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · 1d

Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild. This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right.

They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus.

Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!

The signing bonus also prompted discussions internally because it’s not contingent on a key part of the hiring process, which is passing the academy, another source said. Even candidates who don’t pass the academy and are slotted for administrative jobs are still pocketing thousands of dollars.
