Elections are not like buying a product. If the advertising for a shirt fails to earn your attention and you don’t buy it, the ugliest shirt in the store doesn’t ship itself to your house and staple itself to your torso

Pete Hegseth (2016) on Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server:
“Any security professional, military, government or otherwise, would be fired on the spot…and criminally prosecuted for being so reckless with this kind of information.”

WOW. One of the Venezuelans who Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

This morning, in watching Senator Van Hollen board a plane to El Salvador, I can’t help but think of Representative Leo Ryan’s fateful trip to Guyana in 1978.
Ryan traveled to investigate claims that people were being held against their will in Jonestown—and he lost his life doing it.
This kind of work is real. It’s dangerous.
Senator Van Hollen is willing to take a personal risk to stand up for the rule of law.
Wishing him safety and strength on his journey.

An update: Josiah Young, who cast a ballot for Riggs, spent his entire childhood in Jackson County. He's a 20-year-old American University student who was studying abroad in Spain during the election. He presently has no remedy to get his vote counted. #ncpol

🚨BREAKING: At least 16 NC voters wrongly labeled as "never residents" stand to have Supreme Court votes immediately tossed. #ncpol
I've stayed up all night reaching out to voters and writing. Given the importance and urgency, I've lifted the paywall.

Blistering dissents tonight, as the NC Supreme Court votes 4-2 in Jefferson Griffin's favor to throw out ballots by overseas voters.
One dissent (by a Democrat) calls it "a bloodless coup." The other dissent (by a Republican) calls it "judicial tampering in election results"

We must not overestimate the primitiveness of Donald Trump and his trade policy. This man grew up in the corrupt New York real estate mafia world and was mentored by Roy Cohn, who was the chief lawyer of Italian mafia families in New York. Cohn taught Trum three principles: Attack! Deny! Never accept defeat but declare victory!

Trump’s view on trade deficits is like getting mad at Target because you spend money there but they never buy anything from you. It’s just complete brain dead nonsense.

The reason everyone important keeps misreading events is that they keep looking at stuff that exists out of Trump’s head - macro electoral, economic trends - but what’s driving the world now is the black narcissistic void INSIDE Trump’s head, that they don’t want to talk about

Trump loves tariffs because he feels like it’s a way to shake people down. Even better, shake FOREIGNERS down.
He thinks protectionism is more akin to a protection racket.
He clearly gets an almost sexual thrill from announcing them, and the more, and the higher, the better.

The tariffs don't make sense as economic policy because they aren't economic policy. They are a tool to undermine our democracy. A means to force every major company and industry in America to pledge loyalty to Trump in return for tariff relief.
