It’s good that the Epstein stuff has hurt Trump and that there are cracks in his coalition.
But I don’t know how we come back from this sort of outright mafia state behavior. Between this, the destruction of DOJ, and the makeover of DHS, it’s hard to see us regaining full democracy status soon.

If the U.S. was at war, Pete Hegseth's order would be a war crime, a military lawyer said. Instead, it might just be murder. wapo.st/49KbUJ1

I spent Thanksgiving 2010 in Bratislava with a friend after a brutal solitary dissertation writing period in Brno. Snow. Bed bugs. Writer’s block. When I called home my mom asked me where I was. She then informed me normal people don’t spend Thanksgiving in Bratislava.

President Trump says that Sarah Beckstrom — one of the National Guard members shot yesterday in Washington DC — has died.

It really is the right era for this. There's nothing Vance could do morally that'd hurt his vote among his evangelical base other than support some lefty cause. Divorcing his non-Christian wife to marry MAGA Christian royalty would both humanize him & allow him to totally dominate press attention.
My prediction:
1. Usha Vance will convert
Or
2. Erika Kirk and JD will find a way to make it happen

Loved my conversation with Pulitzer winner Paul Starr - one of the founders of the @prospect.org - about his new book American Contradiction. We discuss how the End of the Cold War was the first step in the creation of MAGA populism.

A new film on Christian nationalism by young pastors from the Doug Wilson-verse. This is cringe. But it’s also an expression of the theological nexus that formed Hegseth’s Christianity.
