My guess is that Trump knows very little about P25 *and* it will be the blueprint for his administration. He’s famously bored by policy. He’ll appoint these people because they’re loyal. They’ll then go to work on the plan while he grifts, golfs, and gives two-hour speeches at rallies.

Trump: I don't know anything about Project 2025 Here is a list of all the Trump officials who authored the Project 2025 blueprint, Mandate for Leadership. 25 of 36 were part of the Trump administration. project2025istheocracy.substack.com/p/project-20...

In the exact same nine day period that Biden and his White House and campaign have been flailing, Trump has offered voters a window into his own mental state and vision for term 2 It’s not great! www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

QAnon Memes, F-Bombs, and Tribunals: As Biden Faltered, Trump Amped Up the Crazywww.rollingstone.com Trump quietly had his own week from hell while the media was hounding Biden

This is correct, as is the observation that fascism, from a strictly functional standpoint, is a hamfisted backwards manner in which to govern. Taken in concert, these two points manifest thusly: 1) scapegoats are named as the basis for society's ills, then those scapegoats are eliminated

If they’re comfortable killing other people, they will eventually be comfortable killing you. You can learn that lesson the easy way or the hard way.

Trump said “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it.” But Project 2025 is run by Trump's closest aides, raising concerns about cognitive fitness for a candidate who seems unable to recall those around him. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/troubling-...

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

I think that the way that all the right-wing skullduggery around Trump works is that the man himself is just an orange ball of rage who is just incoherently mad and it's the guys around him are using his appeal to the worst people ever to advance the cause of project 2025

Not the most terrifying thing but perhaps the most infuriating: every single thing we said about these fascist Republican fucks has been proved out and all the people who assured us that what is happening would never happen smoothly pivoted to yes it's happening but it will be fine.

The Right has been licking their chops to dismantle worker and civil rights protection. This ruling was packaged up and ready to go within hours of the supreme court's announcement. Expect more of the same as this revanchist revolution against governance accelerates. www.hrdive.com/news/texas-s...

when I was a child, I thought smart people were in charge. when I got older, I realized you didn't have to be smart to be in charge. but the piece that was hardest to learn is that no one is really in charge at all. no one's going to fix it beyond us.

I want everyone to think about what Trump will do with explicit absolute immunity from prosecution and the full power of the presidency of the United States of America those are the stakes in November, full stop

look i'll be clear, I will be voting, and encouraging everyone I know to do the same, against donald trump and the end of democracy in this country in november. I do not care if that means i'm voting for a man who is literally dead.

They know, and they know we know they know. This is the part where they're daring anyone to stop them

March 23 1933, the Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state.

Absolutely wild that the court accuses the dissent of "fearmongering" with "extreme hypotheticals" when the actual basis for the indictment is a coup attempt that led to an attack on the capitol

Democracy does not have a final win condition. Life and civilization are an ongoing process and pretending otherwise, that there's an ultimate destination, is the fascist fantasy. We don't need one-party rule, but we must win elections against the authoritarians forever, that's the "ever vigilant"

So based on decisions from just this week, the President, as long has he has the gloss of officialdom, can basically do anything without legal restraint, whereas the President, acting via duly appointed agencies authorized by Congress, is more restrained than ever? What a coherent jurisprudence!

I’m just so pleased that the court decided homeless people can be arrested for existing, the government cannot govern, and the president cannot be prosecuted for committing crimes, all in the same week. Blitzkrieg doesn’t begin to cover what has happened to the rule of law.

Idk seems like either decisions are being made by some rando lib thinktank guy or Stephen Miller. Won’t pretend to be excited about either one but I know which one is worse.

SCOTUS : Congress just has to work together to write laws covering every question an agency might have to handle with detailed rules and formulas handling situations from now into the future Congress : gives handjobs in Beetlejuice concerts and talks about Jew space lasers

My position is that I readily and emphatically acknowledge the truth of this statement while also being acutely aware that this state of affairs is unsustainable and is fertilizer for the ground that more trumps will grow out of

This is actually correct, certainly for national races, and there is no coherent argument against it. Dems are bad on a few issues; Republicans are worse on those and terrible on every other issue, too.
