[ad_1] The Republican Party is dead. Long live the party of Trump, which wears the GOP like a skin suit. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump took down libertarian-leaning Rep. Thomas Massie (R–Ky.), to whom he’d taken such a profound dislike that he backed a primary challenger in the form of MAGA stalwart Ed Gallrein. Massie was highly ranked for his voting record by conservative organizations, but so were other candidates Trump pushed out of office—and out of the party. In truth, it’s been years since the Republican Party was a conservative organization; these days it’s a cult of personality around…

[ad_1] Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair “Perhaps the deepest conflict is not between red and blue, but between power and powerlessness.” – George Packer , “The College-Educated Working Class,” The Atlantic, April 2026 Power here is economic power, not of a national GDP but of individual income and wealth.  Red and blue conflict is not simply political party conflict but what Packer labels “multicultural America versus heritage America.” Multicultural here doesn’t mean different ethnic, religious and racial groups but a recognition and respect for different values and meaning in relation to any privileged unity, all of which has triggered insurrection…

[ad_1] The Food and Drug Administration in recent months has approved a small number of drugs quite quickly under a new expedited review program. But Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has overstated the impact of the program by making misleading comparisons to the pace of drug approvals in the past. “We just approved two new drugs, two new oncology drugs, in record time, one in 45 days,” Kennedy said at an April 16 congressional hearing, adding that the other was approved in 55 days. “The closest before that was 310 days.” At another hearing that same…

[ad_1] From Judge Brantley Starr (N.D. Tex.) May 12 in Fisher v. Campbell: This case stems from a Texas Tech University law student allegedly making a celebratory statement {in the clinic program offices} after Charlie Kirk’s assassination while she was working at a legal clinic at the school.

In the Trumpian Age, Every Accusation Is Also a Confession Nick Turse Tom Dispatch “It’s got no anything,” President Donald Trump said of Somalia in a recent xenophobic rant. “All they do is run around shooting each other.” As is true of so much with this administration, every accusation is also a confession. U.S. troops have been shooting Somalis since…

[ad_1] Updated from ‘The Function of the Fake Binary‘, May 16 2022 In his 1998 book The Common Good, Noam Chomsky describes the key role that managed disagreements play in modern politics… The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum — even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there’s free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate…” This…
