"I will admit to being surprised at the extent to which elites in 2025 seemed to surrender...we cannot throw out MAGA just to be left with the same worthless leadership class." Everything goes back to the fatal overreading of 2024. As we said on Half the…

Our pundits still have 2024 brainlock. But Trump is hugely unpopular & failing badly on 3 pillars of right wing nationalism: immigration, economy, America First militarism. @trentrichardnelson.bsky.social @caitlinmoriah.bsky.social and I dug into it all…

GOP Rep James Comer just admitted on Fox that small donors are giving to Trump's super PAC rather than to GOP candidates. Trump keeps telling his supporters that GOP let him down. This is the result! GOP lickspittles really getting their comeuppance now. …

JD Vance can rage at Abdul El-Sayed for invoking Usha all he wants, but AES's larger point is 100% correct: JD really has made craven compromises with vicious MAGA racists. For JD to submerge all that to his personal ambition really is disgraceful. New…
