My favorite quote today:
#BonMot #BabyNames #PhilipBump
Philip Bump in todays How To Read This Chart: "You’ll notice, in perusing that chart, that one pattern stands out. The names most common in blue states tend to be ones associated with ethnic or religious groups.

“Washington Post columnist #PhilipBump called out 47 and Speaker #MikeJohnson (R-LA) for their campaign to "#rebrand" the #GOP's #cutstoMedicaid and #taxcuts to the highest wage earners (the #UltraRich).”

I suspect that history will record 2025 as an inflection point in American history, the point at which the promise of a future rooted in universal access to knowledge collapsed under the weight of infinitely accessible fictions.

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ... #Politics ... may be the dirtiest word in English language. WHY ARENT ALL #SANCTIONED BY ALL??? It makes no sense.. unless you are a ship owner.
Will send to #PhilipBump of @washingtonpost.com and would think @jburnmurdoch.ft.com would be on it too.

Speaking of baseball, I enjoyed this visualization of team relocations. I will endorse any reminder that the Washington Nationals are just the Montreal Expos rebranded.

From #PhilipBump on WAPO: New column on Trump's heavy fist. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
What’s important to remember about the fracture that emerged in LA over the weekend is that it came shortly after reports that Trump was seeking to block #CA from receiving certain federal funding
Opinion | Donald Trump vs. California (and everywhere else)
What happened in California this weekend was another facet of the president’s effort to quash critics.

Awe! So #PhilipBump blocked me after I replied this to his “Holy fuck!” response this morning to jeff bezos email to the post editorial team. Like my grandma said, don’t dish it if you can’t take it. #PhilipBump couldn’t shut up about defending the post and how we were all wrong. Oh well!

PhilipBump LATEST COLUMN ...really a two part column ..
first part explains SM role in Trump admin… eg. a ratcheting back and forth between INFLUENCERS and Audience…
www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Second part delves into MUSK chaos creation doings
Opinion | Can Elon Musk find any fraud before Trump’s base notices the con?
The truth is that “fraud” has never been the target.

lol This acquiescence of corruption and authoritarianism explains @washingtonpost.com anti-Biden coverage the last 4 years. Too bad the journalists like #SallyBuzbee #PhilipBump #JoshDawsey #ashleyparker #tylerpager #annielinskey all went along with the drive #mediabias

CHART ATTACK ..
TRUMP Foreign 'indebtedness' can also be charted.
This chart from Bloomberg, looking at the surfeit of foreign investors in Trump’s memecoin, does an effective job of getting the point across, even if that message is not terribly surprising.

From WAPO #PhilipBump .. in #ChartAttack today.
HERE VENN DIAGRAM of day ..

WE JUST WATCHED IT again … it’s on DISNEY.. can sing every song still!

You will remember the note “la” from the song, “Do-Re-Mi” featured in the 1965 film “Sound of Music.”

New from me: Philip Bump rebuts ICE claims about how the agency needs to operate as a secret police because of a supposed wave of violence against its agents, and the editorialists at The Bulwark point to one reason there might be a fraught atmosphere of danger and crisis at an ICE detention.
Some liberties end in ICE

The MAGA propaganda machine is effective at blunting outrage about the Signal scandal by everyday Americans. 🫤https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/03/27/trump-administration-signal-accountability/?utm_campaign=wp_follow_philip_bump&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl-philipbump
Opinion | What the lack of consequences for the Signal scandal means
The point of accountability for the Trump administration would be to reinforce that bad things are bad.
