Larry David on Trump: He’s such a little baby that he’s thrown 250 years of democracy out the window by not accepting the results.. He's such a sociopath. He's so insane. He just couldn't admit to losing. And we know he lost. He knows he lost.. He’s a such a sick man
BREAKING: John Eastman should be disbarred, a California judge ruled Wednesday, issuing her final report after months of hearings and testimony about his fringe legal effort to keep Donald Trump in power. Eastman will lose his ability to practice law in three days. Details TK
Courts spokesman Al Baker says the Twitter account Trump attributed to Judge Merchan’s daughter hasn't belonged to her for a year. “Rather, it represents the reconstitution, last April, and manipulation of an account she long ago abandoned.”
This has all, somehow, become background info on Trump’s term and his bid for reelection. In one day, one of his lawyers is brabded more corrupt than Watergste attys and recommended for disbarment behind Jan 6. Another takes the 5th over and over while facing disbarment in DC.

One of the political media's most prominent & enduring biases is the bias against quiet, competent, drama-free governance. It hardly needs stating which party suffers more from this bias.
They were chanting “BMWs will not replace us.”
Half the polls seem to be suggesting that Donald Trump is winning young voters. I'm not sure how true that is, and we felt it warranted deeper investigation. Biden's got some issues with this group, but they're not Trump-curious. For @SplitTicket_: split-ticket.org/2024/03/27/we-…
Hewitt’s claim that you are entitled to enormous sums of money and national television appearances just for being a Trump-enabling hack may sound crazy, but he is speaking from experience.

interesting that elon seems to think "Republican" is basically synonymous with, "willing and eager to help Trump sabotage US democracy." he's kinda right about that tbh

Desperately hope Trump doesn’t run on a “sorry, health care is a privilege”platform. He’d be sure to win then, and I’d be so owned.
It is remarkable that the former acting Attorney General is testifying about a senior DOJ official’s attempt to abuse his power to overturn the election. It’s even more remarkable that this isn’t even considered front-page news anymore.

"Polls show RFK Jr would draw most of his support from Biden. The fact that Tim Mellon, a big Trump donor, has given him $20m backs that up. You wouldn't waste that kind of cash on a hopeless cause without a larger aim." Me on the potential Nader of 2024 ft.com/content/7d7076…

Yep. Have we ever had a real public accounting of the cost in lives and hardship in Puerto Rico after the 2017 hurricanes, when the Trump admin held up aid? I remember a few hearings happened, but has there ever been a real publicized report?

This is a great read from @brianbeutler. “Perhaps the turmoil NBC experienced will train other institutions going forward that people like her are too far over the line to normalize.” Yes! Stop platforming MAGA liars and Trump enablers! #DoBetter open.substack.com/pub/brianbeutl…

@brianbeutler Maryland should name it the Joseph R. Biden Infrastructure Week Bridge just to really piss him off.
@brianbeutler I think you made that point well! Start with TikTok and figure out how to solve the rest.

Your mother did you, but after a hard life of service on a truck-stop lot, can we really hold her loosened, battered womb responsible for dropping you head-first on the Winnebago floor and burdening our society with another empty, racist demagogue thereafter? We cannot.

@brianbeutler If you go back through and seek out some of the prominent angry parent accounts, most of them are just open that they’re either right wingers or anti-vaxxers (or both) now.
@brianbeutler I think they are afraid of the conservative base driving them and realizing that they are WAY more fun to drive than a gas car. Instant acceleration, smoother, no gear changes. It's hard to go back once you have one.
And of course you can even leave the house and go eat somewhere alone — something interesting might happen. If not, you can stare at your phone in a new setting!
I also tend to hew closely to the OG bloggers and TPM alum. @mattyglesias @GregTSargent @sullydish @brianbeutler. More recently I read a lot of @HC_Richardson and @steve_vladeck.
It’s interesting that the economy is doing well in every Republican’s home state and district despite the bleak national conditions.
