What will make this even more delicious is if Jared Kushner's felonious father-in-law is only finding out about this from reporting. Trump has just sicced DOJ on Corey Lawandosky, probably for not wetting Donald's beak with Corey's own shakedown schemes.

* Zelensky accused Trump of reaching agreements with Putin “behind Ukraine’s back” while Kyiv’s delegation is in Florida. He said the US is giving Russia “additional money to wage war” & called Ukraine’s team a “smokescreen” for a decision that is “unfair” and “not partner-like.” *

I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.
Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

And you know who spent the last 40 years convincing us that politics should be entertainment? For-profit corporate media. That's right—if you work in corporate media, you're the reason this country is collapsing. You gave us entertainment when what we really needed were leaders.

All this is rhetorical, of course. I know why we have no such politicians. Because they'd be boring. We got Trump and a collapsing society because we confused politics and entertainment. Politics is supposed to be boring but enormously consequential—the opposite of entertainment.

Holy shit this dissent is staggering. "Congress has the authority to regulate Elections. Congress has given the USPS the authority to regulate the mail. Ergo, Congress has given the USPS the authority to regulate mail-in ballots." Whatever happened to the Major Questions Doctrine, Sam?

The world found alternative solutions to fossil fuels but “conservative” politicians and the energy companies sponsoring them spend the last 50 years to convince as many people as possible to hate every alternative… it’s massive lobbying and lies, not “didn’t want to change”.
