In a normal campaign, this would have dominated the weekend’s news. I wrote about @gregsargent.bsky.social’s scoop about the Christian nationalist GOP nominee for NC Gov calling for murder of his political enemies: ‘Some folks need killing’: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

The NYT Parkinson's "scoop" is even worse than it seems from the headline, bc buried in paragraph 11 the reporters *know* Dr. Connard met with someone other than Biden, and on March 28, 2024 the President's Public Schedule shows Biden was in NYC the whole day

Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.

essentially it moves the federal government from a mostly neutral hands-off coordinating actor between the states into being an authoritarian ideologue imposing its view domestically, and crushing dissent. Which is just to say, it intends to impose its fascism by force across the several states.

This aligns with the Project 2025 position, which Trump’s campaign staff has tried to distance him from, but which Trump’s Republican Party is also accepting in full. A complete rollback of all women’s reproductive freedom.

Meanwhile, where is the top headline in the NYT that the draft GOP platform states that fetuses have constitutional rights, amid Trump/RNC efforts to claim it "softens" the GOP abortion position?

Still marveling at Gorsuch's Ohio v. EPA opinion, in which he confused nitrogen oxide (a pollutant) with nitrous oxide (laughing gas). He did this five times, never once getting it right—in an opinion overruling the EPA's own expert scientific analysis! s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24...

Even within Congress there's factions within the major parties that can cause gridlock with an on-paper majority, and there's nothing structurally gridlock-y in the House if there were a robust third party you could negotiate with.

Again, none of this is to say American capitalism is awesome for working people, it manifestly is not! But we’re talking about change vs constants. And the *trends* have been more money in the pockets of lower wage earners, in real terms, over the past two years.
