The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

As a diplomat I have studied how authoritarians fail all over the world

When dictators overreach, autocracy fails

Trump is overreaching big time & the people won't let him get away with it

I explained on @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social 👇

I dunno. She took so many lumps in her lifetime. Why should she now have to look like a fatso in some delusional man's fake pic?

The progress of the GOP from Cheney to Trump: from killing roughly 300,000 people through wars in the Middle East, to killing roughly 14 million people through terminating USAID. It's an order of magnitude different. And for killing 14 million, you get a Nobel Prize, apparently.

A new study looks at lives saved by USAID in the past and what the future without the agency will look like.

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.
Trump in 2023 amplified a video from a QAnon-promoting account that baselessly claimed that Dick Cheney was involved with planning 9/11 (9/11 trutherism is near universal in the QAnon community).

I want to second this point.

Mamdani is running a NYC race. Spanberger is running a statewide race here in Virginia. Different demographics, different approaches and tone, but same overall principles.

A big tent party can't obsess over purity. You either grow and adapt or die.

Oh yeah, vote.
There’ll be a lot of takes tonight on whether Zohran Mamdani or Abigail Spanberger offer Democrats a clearer path to victory.

Let’s be clear: they’ve both ran people-first campaigns focused on affordability. They’ve both met people where they are. That’s the lesson. Ideology comes second.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

If you haven't voted, and you have an election today, GO VOTE NOW.
Pennsylvania is a state that has really diverse & high stakes, up and down the ballot tomorrow.

—control of state supreme court
—lower state court races
—Philly DA: Krasner's reelect
—important, heated school boards
—partisan battles for county execs in swing counties
—Bucks County at a crossroads
No one commissioned a Cheney obit from me except a friend who subsequently left his outlet. If you’re an editor and you pay more than $1.50/word, reach out. If I hate your outlet, be prepared to pay more.

If these terms are not acceptable, my book works as a Cheney obituary:

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Voter suppression is treason in a government based on the will of the people.
I've been following the aftermath of a car crash where a federal agent was captured on video placing a Black man in a chokehold.

We obtained the 911 call made by a US Border Patrol agent who was on the scene through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request

NEW: Common Crawl, the massive archiver of the web, has gotten cozy with AI companies and is providing paywalled articles for training data. They’re also lying to publishers who have asked for material to be removed. “The robots are people too,” CC’s exec director told us when we asked about this.
