Also, why is it that everyone stops reading A Theory of Justice a third of the way in?
Apparently, the LinkedIn bros are doing political theory now…and poorly.

Personally, in response to the debate, about what label to give the regime (fascist, authoritarian, reactionary, etc.), I think Aristotle offers the simplest label: tyranny.

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.
This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

Seth has been calling this out for a long time. He’s not the only one, but his thoroughness is unparalleled.
Please don’t do this, America. Please don’t act like the Trump-Epstein emails we saw today were our first glimpse of something.
Don’t buy the narrative that these emails are useful because they *hint* at misconduct. We *know* there was misconduct.
You can read a fully sourced book on it for free:

The available evidence places Trump, Epstein, and Maxwell at the heart of a multistate and multinational child sex-, sex- and human-trafficking ring whose discovery could change the course of history.

Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

I don’t think there is another human being, except himself, who Trump thinks about more than Obama. Neither his wife, nor his kids, nor his “friends” can even come close to the amount of rent-free space Obama occupies in Trump’s brain.

So the justices will weigh the irreparable harm to the government of having to transfer the funds against the irreparable harm of tens of millions of people not eating

Excellent thread. Definitely worth a read (along with the piece she links).
The Supreme Court just heard oral arguments in the challenge to Trump’s worldwide tariffs. No matter how the Court rules (and I’ll do just a tiny bit of tea leaf-reading here), its decision will have enormous implications for the scope of presidential power. 1/25
