Amazing. New CNN poll has Trump's approval on immigration absolutely tanking. It's down to 42-58. A 19-point net swing against him on this issue in just the last few months. Curious what those who keep saying we're in the midst of a huge societal backlash…

Trump's pollster finds GOP trailing by 3 points in generic House matchup in competitive districts, and by 7 among very motivated voters, with huge majorities wanting ACA tax credits extended. On the pod, @kedseconomist.com is good on Trumponomics'…

The "laboratories of autocracy" frame is really apt, because Stephen Miller absolutely is testing how far he can get with his fascism by outsourcing some of the most inhumane tasks on the Trump agenda to red states: [contains quote post or other embedded…

Time to start paying attention to Florida attorney general James Uthmeier, the brains behind Alligator Auschwitz. He's only 37 and is a Florida version of Stephen Miller. He's the future of MAGA. My new piece on his sudden rise and what it means: …

Remarkable take on MAGA fury over Jeffrey Epstein from historian Nicole Hemmer: She roots it in pathologies on the right that go back a half century, to McCarthy, the Birchers, through the idea that Civil Rights was a commie conspiracy to the present. …

Talk about the dream matchup between subject and guest! On the pod we have @pastpunditry.bsky.social talking about MAGA, the Jeffrey Epstein fiasco, and its deeper roots in the last half century of far right conspiracism. You'll learn a lot from this one: …

MAGA fury over Epstein is rooted in how badly they'd been scammed by the idea that Bongino/Patel would finally blow the lid off the Deep State. Historian Nicole Hemmer is brilliant on the right's pathologies, and on the pod she delivers on Epstein big…

Good @mjtoma.bsky.social diagnosis of why Jeffrey Epstein mess is such a fiasco for Trump: For the first time, Trump and MAGA are diverging on the conspiracy theory nutball stuff, where "there’s never been an inch of daylight between them. Now there is." …

Fascinating from @davidkurtz.bsky.social on the pod: The massive funding for ICE puts us on the cusp of transformation similar to the war on terror and the war on drugs. These things "deform our priorities" in ways that "take decades to reverse." …

Note that Stephen Miller expressly advocates red state politicians coordinating with the Trump administration to set up these camps, and there's also a $3.5 billion fund in the big budget bill that states can try to tap for this purpose: [contains quote…

It's hard for people who don't swim in MAGA information currents to grasp, but Ron DeSantis' photo op with Trump at "Alligator Alcatraz" is an enormous coup for him. The brains behind the idea, Florida AG James Uthmeier, is showing that this is a route to…

Awful: Stephen Miller is urging red states to build their own versions of "Alligator Alcatraz." And guess what: Buried in the budget bill is funding that states can try to tap for exactly that. This could become a route to MAGA glory for young GOPers. 1/ …

The Abrego Garcia fiasco keeps getting worse. The way Trump and the WH are bringing the full weight of their propaganda and legal machines to destroying this one day laborer is an extraordinary abuse of power. I try to take stock of that larger story…

Excellent point. This whistleblower is really a model civil servant in this regard and it's a very bad sign that he was hounded out of the government for trying to hold his colleagues to minimal standards. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Yep. JD Vance told Ross Douthat in a high profile interview that Abrego Garcia is a "high-level" member of MS-13 long after top administration officials internally debated this claim and thus knew there was no evidence that he was a "leader," as I try to…

No matter how much lipstick they smear on this pig, this is an open admission that Americans are NOT rushing in to fill jobs left vacant by deported migrants. That wrecks a key pillar of MAGA ideology. Screaming "no amnesty" doesn't change that one bit: …

By failing to jump on Trump's admission that his mass deportations are hurting farmers, construction and the economy, Democrats are letting Trump moderate his unpopular deportations right under their noses. What an absolute disaster of a preventable…

This is getting lost. When Stephen Miller shrieks orders for 3000 daily arrests, they HAVE TO go after noncriminals. It's the only way to juice the numbers. So Miller is shifting resources away from serious crimes toward that. @vermontgmg.bsky.social and…
