Applebaum: Trump is using a specific language from the 1930s: “enemies within,” “enemies of the people,” migrants and political opponents as “vermin,” migrants “poisoning the blood” of Americans.
That language comes from Hitler, Stalin and the Stasi. 1/
@halaljew It seems crazy but I kind of like how it forces people to pay attention to primaries. Also, in CA where Dems are so far ahead and GOP still wants to nominate MAGA who could never win in the general, at least this way we can sometimes get a moderate and a Prog in the general
Ugh, I wonder on what authority Rodney Mims Cook Jr, head of the Commission on Fine Arts, who as per Rubio’s Senate testimony does not represent the U.S. government at the St. Petersburg conference, is going be signing an MOU on a huge infrastructure project with a U.S.-sanctioned Russian official? If all this actually happens, of course. @CFA_GOV
@StatisticUrban@DerekPederson3 100% agree. I blame Biden. He should have set her up with easy wins & announced he wouldn’t run for a second term. He should also have been setting up Buttigieg to look more presidential… made him ambassador to UN or something bigger.
@MaskOfFatalPlay I just kept thinking “why are we splitting 3 ways?”
IMO no reason the Halovar reunion had to happen right then, but after 2 hours of chit-chat they rushed Bolaire’s involvement to the point he was just a mask in their pocket? Plan should have been to get mask ON the Photarch.
Rubio said he is unaware of the U.S. delegation at Putin’s conference in St Petersburg, led by Commission of Fine Arts chief Rodney Mims Cook Jr. Today, the 🇺🇸delegation definitely wasn’t talkative.
@emily_hoeven And I am so so sorry you have to care about the fucking Insurance Commissioner now.
But especially with Becerra as the front runner for governor (seems like a sweet guy, does not understand insurance), we need someone who knows what they’re doing in this seat.
Instead of just asking "is Pulte qualified to be DNI?" Can I suggest reporters just READ THE FUCKING STATUTE TO REPUBLICANS, WHICH EXPLICITLY REQUIRES (SHALL, NOT MAY!) THE PERSON TO HAVE "EXTENSIVE NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERTISE."
A highly dangerous maggot that eats the living flesh of pets, livestock, and humans has been discovered in Texas.
Last year, Trump ousted thousands of key staff from the office dedicated to preventing the spread of dangerous pests.
