My most liberal idpol radlib take is that I think it's pretty bad that
right wing forces are actively intervening on behalf of the Klan with the full weight of the state legal apparatus

I see the behavior of Michael stans in this moment and understand the blind eye MAGA takes to Trump & Epstein a little more.

one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus

It’s good that MAGA is fracturing.

But for the love of god do not embrace this piece that’s breaking off. Do not hand it to them. Do not share their statements.

Democrats know Trump probably won’t be removed via the 25th Amendment. Here’s why they’re pushing it anyway. While there’s little expectation Trump’s inner circle will turn on him, Democrats can keep Republicans on the defensive about the president’s aberrant behavior.

This is not an either-or situation. Trump is both unable to fulfill his duties and has committed high crimes & misdemeanors.

Washington ordered smallpox inoculations for the Continental Army beginning in 1777.

Hegseth, therefore, is taking a mid-18th century, pre-Industrial Age approach to medicine and warfare.

everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

The Koch brothers hate public transit. But they can’t always stop projects in their tracks. The Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity has been fighting public transit across the country for years. Here's where they've succeeded and failed.

“The infamous Koch brothers have bankrolled climate deniers, propped up polluting industries, and even tried to turn the black community pro-fossil fuel. But, as a recent New York Times story shows, the billionaire conservatives have been steadily exerting pressure against public transit as well.”

With no end in sight to their deployment, National Guard troops roam Washington Eight months after President Donald Trump declared a crime emergency in the nation’s capital and called up the National Guard, more than 2,500 troops remain.

Camouflage and rifles now blend into the scenery of cherry blossoms as armed soldiers patrol the Tidal Basin. This routine military presence in DC streets shows the city’s lack of autonomy as a indefinite federal deployment enters its ninth month with no clear end.
