This graph perfectly captures the difference between Trump1 and Trump2.

Trump 1 was a coalition government between the GOP Establishment and Trump, with most top positions filled by the former.

Trump2 is a single-party government, with almost all positions filled with Trump cronies.

Hey Milwaukee! Frustrated by the construction on and around I-94? Just 8 more years to go! 😭

But hey, at least it’s only $1.78 billion (or 10x the annual budget for Milwaukee’s financially challenged bus system)

i think a cool thing is that every time some right winger is revealed to have, let’s say, a non-normative sexuality, i get to hear what liberals really think about me but feel they can’t voice :)

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

People saying that student protestors were ineffective in protesting for Gaza really are missing that public sentiment has swung pretty fast and far on that, and they were absolutely a part of that.

I asked myself "how do golf courses possibly afford property taxes" so I looked it up and came away convinced we could virtually eliminate the entire sport by simply removing several dumb tax loopholes

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X.

This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5)

The problem with Trump doing endless short calls with journalists is that he can't remember anything he said from day to day, and contradicts himself constantly. So the only real effect these interviews are having is reinforcing the idea that he has dementia, which is probably not the intent.

A Black congresswoman faces 17 years in prison for visiting an ICE facility. Jan. 6 rioters got pardons. Trump’s DOJ isn’t pursuing justice; it’s sending a message to every member of Congress who dares do oversight.
Stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver.

In 2024, we taught college students that protesting gets you tear gassed, suspended and possibly unable to get your degree. And people are wondering why young people seem under represented at protests.

If we want to win elections, we're going to need to be a big tent party. The Guy Who Wants To Stab You has to be in the tent. If you can't form a coalition with The Guy Who Wants To Stab You, you're probably not serious about winning. And if we don't win, somebody is probably going to stab you.

finland never offered gender-affirming care - and that absence is now cited as evidence it doesn't work. 4+ years of adversarial assessment that leads nowhere isn't neutral. it's denial with extra steps. working as intended.

The woman who wrote today's Bulwark slop about protesters is, tell me if you've heard this one before, a proponent of a "big tent" Democratic Party that is paradoxically not big enough for anyone who care about LGBTQ people or immigrants.

Never gotten over how Columbia had a whole micro-site paying tribute to its 60s protests and building takeovers; then, when Gaza protesters repeated that strategy they called in the NYPD
