There is a plus side to this: A large WPA-style jobs program hiring people to undo all this shit.
“Sources inside and close to the Trump-Vance administration tell Zeteo that the president repeatedly asks about myriad different things in and outside of DC that his allies could work to get his name or face on. Buildings, parks, airports, military bases, US…
"Administration officials are circulating a list of government sites that could have Trump’s name affixed to them...
One landmark that has emerged in the discussions among administration officials has raised eyebrows: Ford’s Theatre, the playhouse where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865."

Don't ask me how I know how disturbing this is but trust me it's wild and disturbing.

Brendan Carr was a member of a rogue Alcoholics Anonymous group some labeled a ‘cult’
Carr was a member of the group in his teens and 20s. There is no evidence Trump’s powerful FCC chair participated in any inappropriate conduct

If one single person says this Trump voter got what she deserved I will hunt you down and fuck you up.
Mother of Renee Good: I voted for Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the US, innocents like our family and the others here, against terrorists. Certainly not to accuse those of us here of being terrorists and take precious lives. This is madness.

My new employer is fond of the maximizing excitable headlines, but this is just the bluntest possible expression of my point: Freedom of the press is vital--and you prove that by doing the work that supports democracy, not by talking about doing it.

I just had a long conversation with Trump supporter about, among other things, national health care and the back and forth ground to a halt bc they just refused to accept the idea that academic studies are valid information. Like, point blank. “You can make a study say anything.”

I think Trump has lumbered into a genius strategy: The press is going to go wall-to-wall trying about how existentially horrible the ban is, rather than keep talking about all this other terrible news.
Not that the ban isn't horrible! But I think it might gave Trump what he needs.

Trump's move to ban outlets he doesn't like from reporting inside the White House comes amid a wave of bad news less than 2 months before the midterms:
*Record diesel prices, $4+ gas, ~7% mortgages, higher interest rates, high fertilizer prices, ~$7 beef.
*Terrible polling for Rs, Trump
*Etc Etc Etc

Truly incredible Paxton endorsement from Trump. He resists negging him until last 10 seconds
My genuine ask: Does this video look weirdly AI-ish to you? Almost Jib-Jab-like quality to the way Trump's head sits on his shoulders?
He posted ten other endorsements in the same vein today, so...

Was just going to say that this insight reminds me of things @marthawells.com has said about how men instinctively categorize new sources of labor as threats to justify consolidating/extending their power to "protect" the rest of us. But apparently she saw the post!
