Thought I'd re-post this pre-Trump warning.
Mostly to remind myself that no one listens to the dire warnings we Liberals issue until those warnings are boosted by Never Trumpers and repackaged as their own Brilliant Insights far, far too late.

Today, Cairo’s population is under 1,700 residents. Once majority-White in the 1960s, the town’s demographics inverted following the unrest.
Cairo is approximately 75.7% Black and 20.6% White.
Racism killed this town.😔

President Trump is a massive liar. It’s why he’s unfit for office, and for every other decent person role.
Thank you for this essay and for all of your work, Daniel Dale.

NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins.
Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.
Billionaires don't use the money they save on taxes to create jobs. That's another myth.
They use it to buy back stock, get bigger corporate jets, and build grander yachts.
NEWS: Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Iowa Ashley Hinson says her family can barely afford groceries. Her disclosures say she’s worth up to $7M richer since taking office. And the “all my stocks are sold” claim? Also false. The receipts 👇
This is the second time this has happened.
CBS News's Investigative unit got a retired ICE agent to break down the Good shooting frame-by-frame. On the record, he said the agents were entirely out of line. The piece was only posted online and never broadcast.

This is a devastating interview.
Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.
Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.
Anthropic and OpenAI are dangerous and unsustainable companies that shouldn’t be taken public. The AI bubble is a con and retail investors are the marks.
AI doesn’t have ROI, it’s nothing like AWS or Uber, and it’s got no post-bubble recovery story.

Friends, I’ve been around politics for over 50 years. I’ve never seen anything as brazenly crooked and corrupt as what Trump and his cronies did this week.
A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr:
In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine.
She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation.
Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3
BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”
"Small wonder that Clarence Thomas prefers the Gilded Age over the Progressive Era," writes @rbreich.bsky.social. "He’s the living embodiment of the Gilded Age’s public-be-damned excesses."
Imagine reducing the need for knee replacements by 62%! A groundbreaking injection could rejuvenate your cartilage using your own cells. What if aging joints could be treated without surgery? This research might just change everything. 🦵✨

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.
Nothing has ever trickled down.
Oh wow. How did I miss this?
The SAVE America Act would effectively ban voter registration drives, a mainstay of college campuses and neighborhood events.
They really REALLY don't want people voting.

BREAKING NEWS:
There was some kind of upset at the White House this morning.
People are whispering that Trump is at Walter Reed.
The president either had another stroke or his vagina neck is dilated ten centimeters and he's having that baby.
A French general just looked at Trump’s plan to build a runway inside Iran to fly out uranium under active bombing.
His response: “American officials should stop snorting cocaine between meetings.”
Listened to an interview with Josh Owens, a former contributor to Alex Jones’ Infowars. His assignment was to film someone dressed as a member of ISIS easily crossing the Mexico border. Problem? Border Patrol stopped them. So they filmed at a river not on the border. And got over a million views.
I found the amount of money that the White House gave Department of Homeland Security for "executive travel," including "leasing jets."
It's $205 million.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today.
Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere.
Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.
It's too bad Donald Trump doesn't cheat at golf just a little bit more.
Then he could just stay home, SAY he won, and save taxpayers $100 million a year.
Brilliant.
US invaded Iran to replace an old, dying Khameini with a younger, more radical Khameini and to BUY oil from the Islamic Republic and give them MORE money.
GENIUS STUFF!

While the headlines are chasing shadows, we have the receipts on the biggest stories today. From impeachment filings to shock election results in Georgia, the tide has turned.
Read the full thread for the breakdown: 👇
Over 97% of public comments submitted to the commission reviewing Trump's ballroom oppose his White House vanity project.
So who is this monstrosity even for?

Pro-Trump WSJ admits MAGA economy is 'lousy' President Donald Trump’s economy is “lousy” and could be improved if he removes his tariffs, a newspaper that normally supports Trump wrote on Friday.“There’s no denying the February report was lousy,” The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board wrote on Frid
Free newsletter: The AI bubble's info war demands that we believe in things that aren’t true, like the economic fundamentals of the AI industry are perfectly sound, or that Sam Altman and Dario Amodei are anything other than warmongers.

“U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school that killed scores of children.”

Six days on, a New York Times investigation concludes that the US bombed the school.
175 are dead, 150+ of whom are schoolgirls aged 7-12.
The My Lai massacre for our generation.
