I like to partake in sim-racing and pickleball and other worthwhile endeavors that I'm honestly not very good at doing.

Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government.
Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

You know the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)? Venerable research institution, respected worldwide?
Trump has put an oil executive in charge of it & changed its name to the "National Laboratory of the Rockies."
It's so embarrassing being American these days.

the elevation of “separation of powers” as the paramount value of the constitution is just rhetorical justification for presidential dictatorship, since that is what you have when the legislative branch cannot constrain the exercise of executive power through law.

It's notable that, even in an article critical of RFK Jr., the reporter hedges, saying "There’s no good evidence of serious, widespread harm from the vaccine" rather than just "vaccines are safe." RFK Jr. has made a career of exploiting the ambiguity of the former.
