A tax that is losing money? You can see how this guy managed to bankrupt a casino.

🚨 NEW: A $121,617 home renovation invoice used by Ken Paxton’s defense during his impeachment trial was dated September 1, 2020. But the file’s metadata shows it was actually created a month later, on a VERY significant date. We obtained the invoice. Here’s what we found:

No. Each state handles this its own way, just as each state runs elections however it sees fit. In Kentucky, the law is that there has to be a special election. There is no reason for Democrats to be in any hurry for Mitch McConnell's voters to replace him with another Mitch McConnell.

I've covered local government meetings for over 20 years, in a city where the mayor notoriously makes up rules to curb anything critical of city hall, especially clapping. So, it's worth a quick🧵 on how governments use rules of decorum to intimidate the public, even to throw opponents in jail.

say what you will about AI, always-on voice recording and auto dictation has been a game changer for my workflows. Save post and close app. Yeah Footlong meatball sub on white. No veggies. Don't toast it. Ranch and barbecue sauce. Yeah, ranch and bargecue sauce. More. More. Little more please

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

China is a very real place and you have to engage with it as a real place and not the answer to all of your country’s problems so you don’t say stuff like this. I assure you that you would NOT like it if China invaded the US.

More to the point, this is happening in *non-white* countries as well: Japan, Turkey, and India have huge far-right nativist blocs. So it's not merely white supremacy or nostalgia for the days when the West ruled. Nor is it happening purely in developed post-material countries.

Humans everywhere are increasingly frightened of what tomorrow may bring. Rightists say: Yes, you are in terrible danger, and I'm the ruthless S.O.B. who will protect you. This has happened many times in many places.

Still makes you "not strict daddy" and thus bad at economy/crime/immigration. Honestly one of the highest mileage options is to start attending a milquetoast mainline protestant church and then start throwing parties and hosting events where someone else watches your kids for an hour

That basic problem -- the problem of the information environment, which I've banged on about for 20+ years now -- is upstream of *everything* else. There's no simple fix. It's certainly not going to be fixed with clever word choice or policy proposals. You have to shift the deep mythologies.

"Dems care more about trans & woke than practical stuff" wasn't just a GOP "message" -- it was echoed by thousands of voices, in thousands of outlets & venues & formats, in an endless nonstop loop for close to a decade. *That*, and only that, is how you shift those deep cultural mythologies.

Once you have a lot of money it becomes easier to get more money by doing nothing, which disincentivizes work. This is why all our billionaires post insane bullshit all day. If they had to work they'd be too busy to act like this, doubly benefiting society

A reminder that people who know anything about politics -- what the parties are, what they stand for, their record, who they've elected, how government works -- are a freakish minority. Most people know *nothing at all* past the vague mythologies that sift down through pop culture.

Some of us are old enough to remember when Tyson executives were betting on how many of their workers would get covid back in 2020 before we had vaccines or any good treatments.

People who are suddenly deported to countries they haven’t been to for years — or, in some cases, have NEVER been to — are incredibly vulnerable. We are going to be reading stories like this for years. God have mercy on their three little girls.
