The Trump/Miller Doctrine is to do something awful so many times over and over that it eventually stops being covered as news. Bombing boats in the Caribbean, bombing other countries, threatening allies, ICE murders, etc. The first few times? Big news. Now? Barely even mentioned.
On Thursday, the Trump regime forced out the three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — effectively ending it. You need to see this as part of Trump’s overall strategy to take over the midterm elections some 90 days from now. Here's what we can do about it.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

This is what the NYT today called “latest good showing for the American economy”. “Employment figures show that the American economy continues to stride past obstacles, including the inflationary pressures of the war with Iran.” Which is it?

Two pages. The same story. SNAP cuts: American children are losing food assistance and going hungry. USAID gutted: Children overseas are dying after humanitarian aid was cut. History won’t remember the excuses. It’ll remember who let children suffer. #RepublicansStarveChildren
The US lost the war it had no reason to start in the first place and now has to pay to achieve a position inferior to before the war. Brilliant.
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · last mo.There’s a lot to unpack with the Iran negotiations, but here are the big takeaways: Kushner is there to work out the best deal for his own business interests, not the best deal for the U.S. “He is a fundamentally corrupted actor in these negotiations.” - Chris Murphy 1/2

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2mo agoFive corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
