i will go to my deathbed ashamed that i lived in an america were secret police grabbed citizens off the street
4 male ICE agents tackle a woman U.S. citizen—lift her off ground with no concern over groping her breast or exposing her midriff.
"Help me! Help me!" she cries out. "Check my ID!"
Agents shove her into back of SUV hitting her head—literally run away from scene of crime.
St. Paul, Minnesota.

Ezra Klein’s episode today is titled Venezuela, Renee Good and Trump’s Assault on Hope. This sites hateboner for EK is a little weird lol (Douthat does suck don’t get me wrong).
I guess Ezra Klein doesn't think Nicole Renee Good "Was Practicing Politics the Right Way"

Politics is not fan culture—none of these people are your friends. There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
We can be grateful that MTG is against Trump without liking her or thinking of her as a long-term ally. The anti-Trump coalition must be huge.

the biggest problem for democrats trying to win the senate isn't progressives running in purple seats, it's the reduction of political conflict onto a single nationalized party axis. the erasure of regional differences in the party brand is uniquely bad for a party w concentrated urban membership
I jump into the moderation debate. I agree with @adambonica.bsky.social and @gelliottmorris.com on the methodology, but I want to draw attention to a bigger issue. The collapse of candidate effects generally.

I don’t know if it’s actually worthwhile to engage at all with pure slop, but almost none of the things mentioned in this video are any different now than back then other than the intended audience no longer being a child.

The extension is worth up to $96 million, his agents said.

My baby-splitting take is that anti corruption politics, unspecified is going to be popular and specifics need to be planned but not necessarily announced.
100% disagree that it'll be normie-scaring. literally nothing the dem nominee will do or say in 2029 will be normie-scaring
court reform gotta happen but it's a difficult thing to run on, it's normie-scaring. so you basically need politicians willing to imply one thing and then do another in office.

Musk sort of ended the ‘should billionaires exist?’ debate for me imo, the tail risk of someone with that much unaccountable power going nuts is clearly too great.

“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.
Monstrous:
"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

It’s eternally the 2016 primaries. I’d recommend reading the actual book before commenting on it.
I remember one time @davidjroth.bsky.social told me he suspected Ezra Klein was a "shoulda hooped instead of blogging, because he tall as hell" guy. I'm not sure how good an on ball defender he is, but I wrote about the usefulness of Klein's penitence as politics for @dennycarter.bsky.social.

Pretty much the same amount Republicans promise to “save” in this budget is what the IRS could have collected from tax cheats and wealthy/sophisticated filers WITHOUT RAISING A SINGLE TAX.
But instead somebody somewhere will lose out on healthcare. Stupid and cruel.
