MAGA was sustainable when the economy was good and prices were low. But now that the economic math is working against him, Trump can only get what he wants with threats and fear. And once people are no longer afraid to oppose him, the whole thing crumbles.
In the last few weeks, I’ve become increasingly convinced that Trump and his regime are totally cooked.
They can only stay in power by stealing elections—but they can only do that if enough people are willing to help them.
They’re in a downward spiral and can’t pull themselves out of it.

This is Gaza City, filmed by the @AP.
Complete destruction. This is what Israel, and its backers in the US, UK, and Germany, call "targeting bombing."
Gaza will one day recover.
The West's moral standing, however, will not.

Spain aired a split-screen showing scenes of destruction in Gaza alongside Israel’s Eurovision performance, underscoring why the Spanish broadcaster withdrew after the competition refused to allow a vote on excluding Israel.

what struck me reading this is that any benefit of the doubt that career officers might have been willing to grant to Hagueseth before his statements is now in tatters
Imagine being a career officer in the chain of command on Trump's boat bombings. You have deep moral and legal concerns about them. Your faith in leadership is shaky. Then you see Pete Hegseth tweet out a sadistic cartoon about it. Must be awful.

Nick Offerman as Vice President Chester A. Arthur in Death By Lightning is one of my favourite things on TV this year. His arc from party hack to VP to reformist President deserves to be better known.

This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.

Mark Carney has said that Canada needs to "do things previously thought impossible at speeds we haven’t seen generations." But that clearly doesn't include reforming Old Age Security or making the federal budget more fair for young people.
