Imagine trying to push a policy so unpopular that the only way you can think to get it done is by threatening to crash the entire economy.
That’s what Republicans are doing right now: threatening default for the first time in history in order to gut Social Security and Medicare.

Our right-wing Supreme Court has turned for-profit corporations into citizens with political rights, women into citizens without reproductive rights and minority groups into citizens without a Voting Rights Act. They don’t want a democracy, they want a corporate state.

it's so painfully on brand that the first bill being pushed by the new Republican House majority is aimed at helping rich tax cheats by defunding the IRS

In his speech after becoming Speaker, McCarthy said the GOP believes in a country where law enforcement is respected & criminals are prosecuted. The hypocrisy was so thick you could've choked on it.
No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen@NoLieWithBTC
Only 1 Republican out of 222 showed up to a ceremony today with the families of police who were violently beaten by MAGA terrorists on January 6. Don’t ever let them tell you they support law enforcement again.

2/ And, North Carolina state prosecutors took a very different stance when Black Voters were involved, again with violations that were de minimis compared to Meadow's knowing use of an address he'd never lived at to register after he sold his NC home. nytimes.com/2018/08/02/us/…

George Santos pretended to be a gay Afro-Latino Ukrainian Brazilian Catholic Jew whose mother died on 9/11, whose ancestors survived the Holocaust, whose employees died in the Pulse club mass shooting, and whose net worth rose by millions overnight.
Am I missing anything?

The Meadows texts are as bad as you might imagine-and they change 1/6 to a concerted effort by dozens of MAGA public officials, advisers, etc. And remember: these are just the initial ones that his lawyer was willing to disclose to J6C. The balance must be mind-bending

Something that really worries me and I think is under-appreciated is that if/when the next pandemic comes we're going to be in much much worse shape and less prepared to be able to combat it because of this kind of thing.

DeSantis announces a new anti-CDC: "Our CDC, at this point, anything they put out, you just assume, at this point, that it's not worth the paper it's printed on ... we're creating what we're calling the Public Health Integrity Committee."

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s January 6th comments at last night’s New York Young Republican Club Gala:
“I got to tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, it would’ve been armed.”

Imagine if this was Obama. Imagine if it was Clinton. Imagine if it was Joe or Hunter Biden. Imagine the GOP and Fox response.

NY jury CONVICTS Trump Organization on all counts. Two important takeaways: 1. this likely spells the end of Trump Org, and 2. this increases the odds of a NY prosecution of Trump himself, given that the prosecution argued “Evidence shows Trump 'explicitly' OK'd tax fraud.”

One of the most under-looked stories, in my opinion, is the fact that Elon Musk reportedly spoke with Vladimir Putin about Putin’s “peace plan" — then posted Putin's demands on Twitter, purchased the app for $44B, then endorsed the GOP, who vowed to cut off US funding to Ukraine.
