ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

It’s still hard to grasp that there aren’t 4 GOP Reps (who will otherwise be forgotten forever after retiring & likely defeated next year anyway) aren’t interested in going down in history as all-time 🇺🇸 heroes by caucusing with the Dems & giving them the majority to impeach Trump & save the Republic
Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him
Mike Johnson has dissolved Congress. Why?

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

The rejection of national unity post-Trump is right on the mark. I study conflict in Africa, and the failure to hold perpetrators of violence accountable is a major factor in renewed conflict. We ourselves are still suffering from our failure to hold the South accountable after the Civil War.
the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

Just to level set on this:
What they have experienced are some of the worst things that a government could possibly do to people. There is absolutely nothing that happened here that should have happened. The people responsible for this should have it follow them the rest of their lives.

it gets more complicated than this, but the really short version is that the price of money is how much money you have to commit to paying in the future to get money today--which is to say, the interest rate

Internalizing the time value of money kinda unlocked a lot of stuff for me.

Personalist autocracies underperform, whereas institutionalised autocracies perform similar to democracies (in terms of economic growth)
New paper alert! 📣
@chrisblattman.bsky.social, Arthur Yu, and I reexamine the autocratic growth penalty—the finding that autocracies systematically underperform democracies in economic growth.
TL;DR, the penalty is concentrated in personalist, not institutionalized autocracies.

I would like Trump's letter to Brazil to live on as one of the important primary source documents of the Trump era, linking trade restrictions in historical memory to impunity for criminal behavior, right-wing nationalist authoritarian politics, coups, domestic illegality, and simple illiteracy.

We must all do our patriotic duty of clicking every link and watching every clip CNN uploads to YouTube about Trump's Epstein cover-up. 🫡 Go login to Facebook for the first time in 7 years and share it with your weirdest family members and most credulous long-forgotten high school acquaintances.

Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified
There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein's death.

This is the kind of insinuation it is your patriotic duty to spread. The Republican Party has poisoned our water forever, and we can’t undo it but we can return the favor. Keep going until we create woke Pizzagate, except this time, it’ll be true.
Given the evidence my investigators have seen, this reeks of a coverup.

The Past Four Years at the Supreme Court Did Not Need to Be This Way
Part of the reason court reform failed in 2021 is that Democrats were unprepared for Ginsburg’s spectacularly ill-timed death.
