With wired headies + sky tee the elder millennial energy is off the charts in the header pic here. Tho it was a missed opp for an “everything is embarrassing” headline…
(NB: i do wish the country was doing better than the bulwark but such is life)

"If your guiding North Star for the last decade was, 'The orange man is bad and that's the most important thing that faces the country right now,' you were correct."
@Timodc and @gtconway3d defend the Resistance while also calling on Democrats to try something new:
Just going to re-up this piece I wrote recently for @BulwarkOnline, with a reminder that Trump and Vance peddled a neo-Nazi hoax about Haitian migrants in Springfield during the campaign

@Jamie_Weinstein@gtconway3d i think resist 1 is basically 2017 but your quibble is noted. intriguing i haven’t heard from you on the iran war in a while !
The pundits say resistance 1 is dead?
Well today’s pod posits that it is alive and kicking and we ain’t going anywhere til the fat potus sings. Also the Natalie Harp letters are weird AF.
My guest is, of course, @gtconway3d#Orangemanbad#NeverTrump

The #1 reason all this whinging over how 'restrictive' the current CBA is bullshit-- Kroenke voted for it.
A ton of owners killed any hope their teams had for a championship by doing so, and they'd gladly do it again 100 times over.
Anything to make the numbers go up.
Lots to unpack in this Natalie Harp letter, but this line in particular stood out to me:
“I was approaching burnout, and starting to envy those whose only ‘job’ seems to be to talk with you, and look pretty.”
Lol.
The oddest part of Mike Pence's new book is his inability to grapple with what really happened on J6. He refers to the people who wanted to see him swing from the gallows that day as Trump's "most passionate allies" and suggests that Biden's attempts to cancel student debt posed a bigger threat to the constitutional order than what happened on January 6 and concludes that Trump 2.0 reestablished that order. This is the person who wants to right the ship of conservatism, and that is why there is no course correction on the horizon. The GOP base doesn't want it, and the GOP leaders like Pence are riddled with too many contradictions to make it happen. I wrote about it for @commonwealmag: https://t.co/vmxAlwQJbg
I am blown away by the work of the President and our ally Israel here. Replacing a 200 year old Ayatollah who was losing his grip on the country with an energized military junta that has taken control of a major waterway.
A military junta is consolidating power in Iran
New billboards in Tehran depict the 7 men who have taken charge in Iran since former SL Ali Khamenei was killed. Most remarkable is what the billboards do not show. There is no sign of Mojtaba Khamenei https://t.co/KZqg9KZ9M4
Darline Graham might not know where Taiwan is but practically how does that make her different from the China "hawks" who sat quietly while Trump sledgehammered the South Korea alliance?

ICE is opening a private prison in a defunct Air Force base in Louisiana that will hold children awaiting deportation.
It's operated by the same people that run Angola.

.@michaeldweiss and @Mpolymer on Marco Rubio’s conspicuous absence from Trump’s Iran war: “He wants absolutely nothing to do with it because he knew this thing was a turd from the start.”
A pregnant mom with a 7 year old daughter are trapped in Dilley detention center while trying to self-deport. They have been begging @SenKatieBritt to intervene. She has not responded to the lawyers repeated requests.
She did find time to go on Fox & slur people though.
"Across several Republican focus groups this summer, it’s clear that the intraparty sentiment toward Donald Trump isn’t what it used to be. I’ve heard more participants than usual grade Trump at a C or a D."

.@dwallacewells & @timodc discuss the misconception that the administration has eased up on deportations:
"Things are worse today because, in order to keep up with their quotas and hit their numbers, they're actually targeting immigrants who are complying with immigration law."
