Yes … and Trump has shown that the systems that depend on good chap theory have to be removed root and branch. The clearest way to do it would be to create a Second Republic (if the French can …) but realistically it will need a slate of changes. But they can’t be avoided.
we're going to need a long-term plan, with broad political appeal, for ending impunity & holding the trump administration accountable for its crimes, malfeasance & cruelties. not 'tit-for-tat' but an american version of transitional justice. my take in @slate.com 👇

The "Welfare Cadillac" epithet has been rebranded.
Trump: "You go up to Minnesota -- number one place in the entire country for the sale of Mercedes-Benz. And Somalians are buying them. They come here with low IQs and no money and they get rich. Do we feel stupid? Our fraud division is getting them all."

The Seven Stages of Democrat Rage When Republicans Are Fascistic: 1. This is simply wrong 2. We are better than this 3. It’s downright un-American 4. Reagan would be rolling in his grave 5. This is simply wrong (reprise) 6. I am writing a letter 7. Can you chip in $5 to help me put a stop to this
The timing of this raid and reports that a White House official was involved raise serious questions that should concern all Americans, regardless of political party.

(1/10) 🧵 In my piece in today’s FT, I argue that the corporate tax is an excellent tool for taxing the same wealth that proponents of billionaires’ taxes (or the CA wealth tax) are reaching for. as.ft.com/r/d49ec073-c...

question for brooks: what if they are, literally, nazis?
"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

🚨 Just in: The US has sanctioned the ICC. "We will ban transactions with this rogue court, cutting off their resources and crippling its ability to operate," Marco Rubio said in a statement.

“His words are dangerous and incite hostility” seems like it’d more applicable to Trump calling on Minnesotans to “fight back” against their Somali-American neighbors.
"His words are dangerous and incite hostility" -- Markwayne Mullin is holding a news conference right now to attack Mayor Mamdani in the wake of an ICE shooting in NYC

Fatherhood is a joy. If you're using a machine to avoid it, do society a favor: don't breed.
It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.
Unbelievable.
wow -- Fox Business is now treating Trump's completely made up economic boasts as though they are factual. Note the citation here -- "The White House" Reminder that the entire US economy is about $32t. If we really had $21t flowing in, you'd notice it Fox thinks their viewers are really dumb
