Zeldin demonstrated early on in Trump’s second term that he was willing to use his post at the EPA to do Trump’s retribution work, whether it made sense or not. I unpack that here:
Trump’s interest in tapping the EPA head to replace Bondi may be rooted in more than comradery, if reports about the reason for Bondi’s firing are true — that she wasn’t taking enough successful strides in Trump’s political revenge death march.

Really enjoyed reading this @rothschildmd.bsky.social piece, walking us through decades of American conspiracy theory history to explain the difference between a "conspiracy theory," a "conspiracy," and some popular myths that are neither.
Every single day of the Trump II presidency is another display of performative racism, but today’s news — punctuated by last night’s address on the Iran War — is especially saturated with the casual white nationalism that has come to define the Trump era.

Dem leaders have sued to block Trump’s attempt to pare back mail-in voting ahead of the midterms, arguing the orders are unconstitutional and an attempted power grab over states’ rights to administer their own elections.
In less than a week, the TPM team is heading down to Austin to hang with our Texas readers and friends at the Observer. If you haven’t gotten your tickets yet, now is the time!

NEW: In my column for @talkingpointsmemo.com, I unpack some of the basics of what a conspiracy theory is and is not, where the term came from (spoiler: not the CIA), and why people find comfort in someone telling them who the enemy is.

@davidkurtz.bsky.social : Independent journalism is an "indispensable redoubt right now against Trump's authoritarian push to cow corporate media, silence dissent, bury facts, distort data, + undermine knowledge itself."

Unlike in conspiracy theories where citizen journalists reveal the truth only to be called crazy by the establishment, the conspirators in real plots usually get away with it.
The Florida governor is one of a handful of red state leaders who has stepped up to demonstrate his own ability to disenfranchise wide swaths of voters.
Florida is just one of several red states that are picking up the voter suppression slack while Congress figures out how to pass the SAVE America Act.
The Trump admin brought nativist, white supremacist arguments to its fight to end birthright citizenship.
The conservative justices were on Wednesday, at times, appropriately skeptical of the Trump administration’s patched-together attempt to undermine birthright citizenship, a bedrock of American life for well over a century.
Josh Marshall: "Quite apart from the constitutional and civic merits the whole fabric of U.S. citizenship falls apart without the anchor of birthright citizenship."
I'm really excited about this. I'll be writing for TPM about conspiracy theories, their role in modern politics and culture, and what we can do about it.
