The biggest problem in America is the attack on our institutions. Without strong institutions, the tyrant and demagogue are the only alternative to anarchy. We must be able to believe in the rule of law. We have to have a viable civil society where free speech is protected. We have to have faith in the fairness and equal justice of the courts, including the ethics and legitimacy of the Supreme Court. We need a legally bound president (not a King with legal immunity). We need a functioning Congress that can compromise and govern. To do that we need a House non-gerrymandered enough so that way more than 10% of congressional districts are competitive and our representatives have to pay attention to the will of more of the people.

@markdtooley @DavidAFrench Wishful thinking.

@ddayen @KlasfeldReports What is the reasoning for protecting any federal commission like the Fed?

@joeroganhq Joe is trolling for podcast audience share and the dollars and clout that come with it.

APPLEBAUM: Clearly, Trump is somebody who was cultivated by Russians for many years. Clearly, when they talk to him, they spend lot of time thinking about how he can be manipulated, and he seems to respond. Trump is easy to manipulate if you know which buttons to push and so on.

@MarcoFattorini As usual, his lips are moving and he’s double-talking.

The administration’s treatment of Gen. Donahue is yet more proof that in Hegseth’s version of a meritocracy, there is no level of excellence that can trump politics.

But the military isn’t a Praetorian Guard for the president and his party. It’s a citizen army that draws its members from across the whole of society.

But politicize the military, and you will break its bond with the American people. https://t.co/4Wyn9G5ays

@DamonLinker @CTMathewes @jonathanbfine And each thinker in turn was cut to ribbons within two to three minutes by the savvy and sophisticated, deeply knowing graduate students. 🙃

@CeSteamboat @joeroganhq So, no stats on illnesses. Much is left undiagnosed, ergo, they have no diseases. Instead, this gets processed as quasi-MAHA propaganda. 😝

@Thomas48Wayne @QuantumGuard17 Wut? 🤡

[Blake Garten 🇺🇸⚖️ @blakesgarden]

@LopatoG @QuantumGuard17 Nah. He started this whole mess without getting the American people onboard, without consulting allies—he only had Netanyahu in the Situation Room, for crying out loud. Trump couldn’t invoke Article 5 like we did, successfully, after 9/11 because this he was the aggressor.

@TheFixerishot @joeroganhq He also didn’t have a choice because, among other reasons, last name, wealth, being in-the-know, having an instant entree to all sorts of power brokers and networks, he also was born with model good looks. Basically born on third base or maybe just an inch from home plate. ⚾️

@AR15owl @covie_93 You can be a patriot without holding machine guns at your fucking wedding. Ffs. What’s wrong with you? Have you got 2A Derangement Syndrome—“2ADS”?

@cory_fitz @RocCityBuilt @FreddyLA7 Now Texas is requiring Bible stories in public schools. Free to do and believe what you want, my ass.

[Blake Garten 🇺🇸⚖️ @blakesgarden]

@RocCityBuilt @FreddyLA7 Yeah. All us Texans are buying lots of land and building rockets. 🚀

@normanbuntzhsb @Sudharsan_ak Reminds me of the energy of the 2018 viral video of the two guys crossing a big city street, going in opposite directions, repeatedly flipping the bird at each other with massive “I hate your guts” intensity. (Later reported to be staged by the creator with his friends.)

@david_masterpol @Sudharsan_ak @mspistolicious Some of the other players seem jealous, like mad crazy jealous, and it’s mind-numbingly stupid because the new star players, Caitlin, Sophie, are raising everyone’s visibility and pay!

@joeroganhq Joe says idiot things and trolls for attention. He’s not a thinker. He’s not a policy guy. He’s not a journalist. He’s a podcaster and it’s all about audience share and ad dollars.
