This is like the beginning of every nightmare I had growing up during the Cold War. We lived about four miles from Dulles Airport so we would have been a prime target. Don’t look away.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

I feel like understanding what Capital One anti-money laundering professionals saw happening in more than 300 Trump Org bank accounts is worth a deeper dive once we have a DOJ interested in Justice, or a congressional majority interested in real investigations. (Thread)

“A core MAGA idea is that mass purgings of immigrants are needed because they take the jobs of Americans…[Thus] mass deportations and [ending] mass unskilled immigration should mean all these young men will come stampeding into new jobs left vacant by now-deported invaders and [they] will flourish.”

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 2d ago

MAGA is raging at DHS Sec Markwayne Mullin for discussing immigration reform. But the real reason MAGA is so furious is he admitted immigration can be managed in a way that benefits our country. This is absolutely lethal to white nationalist ideology. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2138...

“The ‘rescinding’ of the order is essentially worthless and can be undone in an instant…At the end of the day, it’s all theater…The documents do not amend the settlement agreement [nor] replace its language [nor] carry the signatures required by the settlement’s own modification clause.”

🚨Don't fall for it. Todd Blanche didn't rewrite Trump's controversial IRS deal. He released a late-night DOJ memo designed to help secure the votes for his confirmation. We read the fine print. Here's what it actually says. 👇

This New York Times article, which ran a week before Christmas last year, didn’t get the attention it deserved. It detailed Trump and Epstein's predatory behavior toward women – “a game of ego and dominance” in which “female bodies were currency.” Here’s a gift link and a thread. 1/6🧵

To the extent that the media is treating this as a horse story: Max Miller is not a some random candidate from Ohio. This is a picture of President Trump speaking at the wedding of Max Miller and Emily Moreno.

Interesting take about uses for data centers. Not benign.

What the US government is doing to Dr. Fauci is the embodiment of what they are doing to scientific infrastructure overall.

One of the most telling quotes out of the Trump admin. ‘Uh, I don’t think AI billionaires want to destroy the world since that would destroy their companies.’ Concern not for destroying the only habitable planet we know of—just the sad sad loss of their investment. #StopAI

“Due to war, tariffs, the shredding of intl alliances…& the…mass deportation agenda, Trump has squandered a trifecta of traditional GOP advantages on the economy, immigration, and natl security…it’s heartening to see the American people…reject the trappings & degradations of personalist rule.”

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 6d ago

The failure of Trumpism as a "personalist" project doesn't mean the broader MAGA ideological project will fail. But I think it's good that personalist dicator rule is getting so widely rejected. It may be a sign of democratic resilience. Some thoughts on that here: newrepublic.com/article/2137...

This is morally monstrous behavior. These are ordinary, innocent people that Trump is condemning to suffering & death out of political vindictiveness. Every decent human being, regardless of political party, should condemn it. Where is the fucking *anger*? From the press? From civic leaders? Pols?

FEMA said yes to Democratic disaster requests. Trump killed them anyway.

President Donald Trump cast aside bipartisan precedent when he rejected eligible disaster requests from four blue states.

Republicans are trying to make the news cycle about anything other than Donald Trump and his incredibly unpopular domestic and foreign policy agenda. That’s why they set up this Fauci hearing. And everyone is taking the bait

“I think a lot of reporters hear [Trump threaten war crimes] and say, he won’t do it, that’s a lot of bluster. But I don’t think that’s the right way to react. We should be saying, it’s unfathomably sociopathic that he’s even considering it, and an American president shouldn’t be talking this way.”

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · last wk.

Media needs to stop treating Trump's threats of war crimes against Iran as bluster. The mere fact that he's *threatening* to inflict such sociopathic horrors on tens of millions of people is itself a scandal. On the pod, @emilyhorne.bsky.social and I on this idea: newrepublic.com/article/2136...

I dunno, I'd be supremely pissed about this even if I was pro-data center. No, your elected representatives can't just sign a fucking NDA with a private party to hide unpopular things from voters.

Mike Rogoway@rogoway.bsky.social · last wk.

Salem is the latest Oregon city facing outrage from residents over data center development. At a 6-hour city council meeting last night, residents railed against an NDA that kept this project secret for more than a year. Now, Salem officials say the city may be helpless to stop the data center.

The death squads that Trump and Miller are emulating here with their ICE gestapo were created and perfected in South and Central America. The fear is rational and much too common. #ImpeachTrump #FireMiller #AbolishICE #AbolishDHS

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.
