Sad days when I have to defend Kevin Kruse from illiterate morons with incoherent theories of politics that the base doesn’t share!
Weird how at some point the ACA subsidies went from meaningless technocrat babble that it was obviously incredibly stupid for Democrats to try protecting to being incredibly important for helping people avoid suffering.
And Democrats managed to get it wrong both times!! What were the odds?

The author starts this piece by saying there have only been a few “scattered” protests against Trump’s occupation of DC. The most charitable explanation is that he just doesn’t know what the word “scattered” means @mtsw.bsky.social

Trust the experts unless I, Tom Nichols, deem them politically unreliable.
I have a section in the book about politicizing expertise. And as a longtime academic (who saw years of my friends in MESA and LASP), and who's watched the eruption of anti-semitism on campuses, an academic group of genocide scholars is not moving me on this. Sorry/not sorry.
