I recommend "Quiet, piggy" as the correct response to your rude senile uncle at Thanksgiving when he starts blathering about how Trump ended ten wars.
I don’t know why, and I don’t want to make a big hairy deal out it so ICE’s Special Media Prosecutor Division doesn’t notice, but People Magazine has been incredibly straightforward with their Trump headlines when he’s being a weird old asshole.
They’re a quiet Facebook behemoth, so this is good.

Basically, the United States ran up until 2024 based on nothing more than the presumption that the administration would not do relentless crimes, and would stop if asked.

bush v gore is the hinge upon which basically everything awful from the last quarter century swings on
i don't think that bush v. gore is the *worst* ruling in the history of the supreme court, but i do think it is the most openly *corrupt* ruling in its history. a real disgrace.

60 Minutes is doing a story on Trump's crypto corruption tonight. I did a lot of work with them in the background - it's a great team and Scott is genuinely committed to journalism.
Nothing from my interview made the cut - which is disappointing - but so happy they got this past Bari.
Watch.

We could have gotten smarter fascists, who work to boost the economy upon taking office, funneling benefits to their supporters, consolidating power behind the scenes. Instead, they rushed to overt corruption while making even supporters' lives worse.
A lot of pain before they fall, but they will.

I am well aware that they are and will continue to do massive damage to this country
but does it feel like they’re on a glide path to successful authoritarian consolidation anymore? I submit that it does not

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

I think "beholden to corporate interests" misses exactly what makes this issue so hard! If you ask the question: is it good for house prices to go up or down, the answer depends A TON on whether you own a house or not! The majority of most household wealth is in housing. It creates huge distortions

Sometimes the myopia of "pharma doesn't cure anything, just treats it" approaches a mirror-image of "America is unique because we have a constitution guaranteeing our freedoms" in terms of not understanding that people and governments in other countries exist and can do things for themselves too.

If you know anyone who is still a staunch Trump supporter, even after all this, I would keep them away from any kids this Thanksgiving.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

The people mad today were equally mad six months ago when the same thing happened and then forgot it happened mostly. With that said I think the risk for Dems is that the rage persists in an inchoate way that can’t even really be cured, since no one remembers where it came from
