One recurring argument for Trump, a man who had never walked past a saver without rattling it, was that he wouldn’t send our kids into war overseas (which variously either implied or outright stated that Biden/Harris wanted to do so, regardless of all evidence to the contrary)

Bill Cassidy has done infinitely more for the antivaccine movement than he can ever claim he has done to promote vaccination. He is one of the worst antivaxxers to ever live.

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.

This isn’t giving them enough credit, they also have a vote principle that “the problem is always the libs”

I’m reminded of maybe the one person who was able to break through like this in the first ~year of the first Trump administration: Michael Avenatti (who obviously turned out to be a scumbag in his own right, but still)

Worth remembering that Russ Vought has said this explicitly
it just seems plainly clear to me that if you serve the country in any capacity, civil or military, and you are not a conservative white man, the Trump administration wants to make the workplace as hostile an environment as possible so you remove yourself

RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language.
Cassidy in February: “If confirmed… CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.”

Even beyond Trump specifically, political parties always tell the press that whatever just happened/is about to happen is going to be good for them. That’s not a story!
Not for nothing but if you’re gonna print the Trump White House’s attack strategy verbatim you might want to offer an assessment of whether it will actually work? www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
