billionaire wealth in the US hit 6 trillion today, an all time high, and that’s double what it was before trump-gop passed their tax bill in 2017 that accelerated the rich getting absurdly insanely richer

In this chat, we suggest a distinction between covering something (NYT does great reporting on Trump's autocratic plans), and *crusading.* The latter is wholly different: It uses saturation coverage to alert readers that they should be alarmed. That's just not happening w/r/t Trump's unfitness.

In this pod, we ask you to keep several things in your heads at once: 1) NYT does essential work on Trump threat 2) Biden probably shouldn't run; doubts about his ability to carry this through are too great 3) It's STILL true that NYT is asymmetric on Biden/Trump unfitness

All of these guys leading Project 2025 were Trump White House officials. Paul Dans was closely involved in implementing Schedule F. The head of Heritage, Kevin Roberts, was selected as a pro-MAGA leader. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-public...

Reminder for people who seem to be convinced that a deficit barely outside the margin of error in July is insurmountable

I’ve seen enough. Biden looks his age so I’m voting for the senile convicted felon and rapist malignant narcissist.

We had H2O

What a historic tragedy that a convicted felon and rapist who lies continuously is not fact checked at all, and is thus validated, by CNN.

Harlan Crow’s Supreme Court is working as intended.

Hoo boy. Just seen the discussion about the latest Adobe Photoshop T&Cs, and they give Adobe the right to look at EVERYTHING you make with their software. For AI training and policing. No opt out. (HT Sam Santala at the other place)

Those arguing that it was inappropriate to pursue Trump in NY need to account for the fact that every other political and legal mechanism to hold him publicly accountable before the next election has failed.

Breaking news: The Georgia Court of Appeals ordered a halt to the proceedings in Trump's election interference case, meaning the case against the former president and his co-defendants will most likely not be scheduled for trial before the fall election.
