The Thatcherite Consensus went kaboom in 2008 and everything since has been frantically breaking all the furniture to shore it up. That’s why everything has been visibly falling apart or obviously collapsing for a decade, and it’s the reason why the next phase will be astonishing worse than this.

To be fair, racist tirades can really take it out of you.
Trump struggled "to keep his eyes open as cabinet officials went around the room describing their work and heaping praise on him," but mostly the latter.

every single week they're throwing this guy a special oval office love-in that appears to be the presidential equivalent of letting your dog scarf an entire big mac and fries before that last trip to the vet
Pirro: "Mr President, there is in this room a group of people who love you, who believe in you, and who are so proud to be in this Oval Office and to be part of this amazing day because you have changed the course of America."

This is kind of the endgame of the student loan crisis, the college experience has become bloated and so expensive that students are treated like customers who can't be wrong, lest they decide to take their business elsewhere.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

a few candidates have talked about this but any Dem planning to run in 2028 should make it explicit: the next DOJ will, in fact, go after you if you’re funding this awful ballroom, or any other pay to play deals you make with this administration
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

The president can pardon criminal contempt in federal court.
Judges and the centrist lawyer types at places like @democracyforward.org should have long ago mapped out a strategy to get Noem in jail for lying and ignoring the law. I fear they don’t have one even now.

Time to stop writing, & reporting a "possibility". The people need to see charges. Consequences. Done with threatening this without actually doing it. No such latitude for immigrants. Legitimate allowances offering protection asylum seekers, denied

1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman.

BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.
