This is excellent from @jamellebouie.net. The Trump administration is not conservative in any meaningful sense of the word. They are revolutionaries undermining the constitutional order. Any competent response from Democrats needs to face this reality squarely.

What's the Real Quid Pro Quo with Bukele?
Hint: It's not about fighting "terrorism," or stopping illegal immigration.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller
"Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

"The indictment’s references to the '17 Unite the Right march in Charlottesville are positively perverse. It all-but explicitly blames SPLC for the men brandishing tiki torches chanting 'Jews will not replace us' & the car that plowed into counterprotesters & killed Heather Heyer. This is nonsense!"
Trump DOJ will avenge the KKK by taking out SPLC
The racism is not subtle.
