The most infuriating thing about all this is that these cowards are caving in fear of Trump, on issues he himself has *no idea* heโs demanding. Because heโs a moron and his closest allies have been too afraid to tell him the truth. www.notus.org/congress/rec...
don't really even know what we can say about the information environment anymore. the justification machine working so efficiently that it has replaced military intelligence.
Before the B-2 stealth bombers had even turned from home, Trump and his allies were hailing the Iran bombing raid a total victory
But rather than citing his own intelligence community or military advisers, Trump turned to an anonymous Twitter account

Trumpโs and Netanyahuโs incentives are now misaligned.
Trump is committed to the idea that he finished off Iranian nukes once and for all. A final victory.
Bibi has to deal with the reality of the Iranian nuclear program. He will tell Israelis that itโs still a threat.
Because it is.
Oops.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I donโt think it matters either way, violence is violence, so Iโm waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts?
Cuz youโre uh, to use your words, โbeing silent.โ
โTeslaโs driverless โrobotaxisโ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school busโand hit it.โ

NYT: โHow will Trumpโs illegal military takeover of LA play for Democrats?โ
Iโm just a political communication scholar standing in front of our paper of record asking for them to not strategy frame an authoritarian takeover.

Weโve leapt over a lot of red lines in the last week. But one I find most worrying is Trump/MAGA/ICE have ceased even pretending to claim some criminal pretext for cracking down on protected speech. Itโs just straight up โif you criticize us, youโre getting throttled/arrested/disappeared.โ
Trump won. In two weeks he will have broken the richest man in the world and staged a military parade through the nationโs capital.
His policy agenda isnโt doing great. But his consolidation of power is progressing.
New: Elon Musk has deleted some of his harshest recent posts against Donalr Trump, including the one about Jeffrey Epstein and the one endorsing Trump's impeachment

Given the newsโboth what we're seeing in the streets and Stephen Miller saying the anti-ICE protesters are engaging in an "insurrection"โlet me re-up this article from last year about why the Insurrection Act is even more dangerous than you might think.

We never had to worry about the U.S. military being used against our own country when Biden was president.
But thatโs exactly whatโs happened under both Trump administrations.
The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers.
That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.
3/ with the adjutant generals of their state national guards. They can't refuse the nationalization of the guard. But they are still required to refuse to obey illegal orders. We're right at that break point.
2/ He's not stating the technicalities here. But what he appears to be saying is that the President is nationalizing the CA state national guard. The President *does* have the authority to do that. This is why I mentioned a few times earlier in the spring that govs need to have a serious ...

ATTACK THEM ON EVERY FUCKING THING. EVERY TIME. EVERY DAY. RUIN THEIR MISERABLE LIVES. SHAME THEIR SUPPORTERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. MAKE YOUR SUPPORTERS ASHAMED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. You donโt even mention that heโs a rapist pedophile, why the fuck not? Whatโs wrong with you?
When 15 million Americans lose their health care and plunge into personal crisis, none of them are going to give a shit about a made-for-clicks twitter fight between two billionaires arguing about who gets the bigger share of the corruption spoils.
Big downward revisions: Change in payrolls for March revised down by 65,000, from +185,000 to +120,000, and change for April revised down by 30,000, from +177,000 to +147,000. With these revisions, employment in March and April combined is 95,000 lower than previously reported.
U.S. employers added 139,000 jobs in May and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.2%.

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
There is no way Ukraine could trust the current US government with info that they had operatives behind enemy lines in Russia to execute this operation. Telling that to the Trump admin would put their lives in even greater danger than they already were.
Republicans are trying to pass the largest ever cuts to health care & nutrition assistance in our countryโs history, but the savings from these cuts donโt even pay for their bill.
ย
The GOP tax cuts for billionaires will still blow up the deficit by trillionsโeven Elon admits it!
The thing in the NYT story about he gets tipped off about federal drug tests ahead of time is eyebrow raising, not because it's surprising, but it's surprising they have that sourced well enough to actually print it. It's a very serious accusation that implicates many others in serious crime
