If you’re looking for an analogy, the Nazi Party in the pre-WWII 1930s fits perfectly.

It’s so important to remember, at all times, that MAGAs believe in nothing but causing pain to others. They have no values, principles, abiding policy agenda, sense of civic duty, commitment to the Constitution or democracy. They’ll forgive *anything* that hurts those they hate.
Remember when conservatives said the lockdowns were government overreach?

In a fucking 5+ billion years. Before that we will all kill each other. Multi planetary is great but this is not why.
Elon Musk: …Eventually, all life on Earth will be destroyed by the sun. It's gradually expanding, we do at some point have to be a multi-planetary civilization because Earth will be incinerated… @Acyn

Dementia Donald at it again. Leningrad hasn’t been a thing since the 1990s.

Supercore CPI, which is exactly what the Federal Reserve is supposed to care about, has just been a straight vertical line up and to the right since April 1st. It was -0.2% M/M in March. It’s +0.5% M/M now. It is running at 6% annualized. We have an inflation problem again.

MAGA is now making the WSJ the enemy. This is why you can’t have any intellectual institutions on the right. You can’t have honest intellectuals, or honest media. If you have the least bit of integrity, the movement will turn on you. This is where we are.

Big news from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others. nytimes.com/2025/07/17/busin…

DEMOCRAT thinking: “We can’t do that. It’s against precedent and the norms!” REPUBLICAN thinking: “Who cares? Let’s try and see if they stop us.” This is a large reason why we’re at where we’re at. Something has got to give.

Trump's MSG rally is sending shockwaves through the Puerto Rican community right now. It can't be overstated what a major miscalculation this was. Big Puerto Rican communities in Pennsylvania, Florida, and a lot of Puerto Ricans in Wisconsin too. Those clips are spreading like wildfire.

Bill Ackman is simultaneously a “huge free speech advocate” who opposes Kamala on these grounds and also someone who wants the government to investigate media companies based on dubious rumors and college admins to shut down campus protests he doesn’t like.
Come to think of it, I am going to alert the @SEC directly about @Disney, @ABC and their misleading response to the whistleblower’s accusations about the presidential debate.

Heritage foundation in Project 2025 clearly had a lot to say about DOE labs or even smaller orgs like NIST vs saying nothing on NASA facilities, or what will happen to NASA centers like GSFC or MSFC. Perhaps they will be organized under the new expanded USSF. 12/N

NOAA will be disbanded and parts sold off to the private sector - e.g. functions to be commercialized like the National Weather Service or National Hurricane Center. And no more arguments or any government data on the “climate debate”. 13/N
