I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.
It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

We were told we were being hysterical, that we should not fight, for "the good of the country". Not having that fight is how we got here.
Roger Stone & Matt Schlapp were banging on the doors in Miami to stop the vote count (The Brooks Brothers Riot).
Meanwhile, John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett were on W's legal team drafting the legal arguments to make sure those votes in Florida never counted.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

IF THEY PRIVATIZE TVA, YOUR BILLS GO UP
Billionaires and political insiders are trying to privatize TVA — the public power system that keeps our region’s energy affordable. My opponent’s backers support it. I’m fighting to stop it. Email your Senators today and tell them: NO to TVA privatization.

I know this is correct, but it’s also really hard to sit with when those of us who STUDIED FUCKING HISTORY WERE SOUNDING THE ALARM THE ENTIRE TIME SINCE GUANTANAMO OPENED UP AGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
A running theme of Trump II is cautious, level-headed, mainstream, career professional experts sounding existential alarms about how we aren't panicking nearly enough.
I know you already know, but for other folks who don't, Goldsmith was previously head of OLC, is a genuinely brilliant mind on executive authority and separation of powers, and is usually very cautious about making claims this unqualified and direct. That he is saying it so starkly is v significant

Musk's employees are in top positions throughout the agencies of the executive branch. He's not gone, DOGE is not gone.
Everyone acts like Musk has been neutralized, cut off, and cast aside, when in fact he remains a huge risk to our country. We must not let him ride off into the sunset. He has to be held liable for the damage he’s done, the data he has stolen, and the elections he will continue to interfere with.

Note that all these chatbots are made by billionaire sex pests, who are desperately trying to make other people see humans the same way they do: inanimate objects to be used for one's own whims.
The people making these, openly say they see other people as NPC's.

The thing about these guys forming relationships with chatbots is that they will start treating actual women like the chatbots.
And when real women don't fawn, don't glaze them the way these digital yes men do, express opinions, they will view them as *defective* chatbots.

The foreign influence discourse has always confused me, because it's based in an assumption that the border protects us from bad people with bad ideas who are waiting just outside the border to harm us. What about bad people with bad ideas who were born inside the border?
