Julia Ioffe's perspective from the PBS "Putin's Road to War" is so good. I've clipped out three sections. Link to her full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=kSNo2F… -- here she describes the post-2012 shrinking of the inner circle -- camps jostling to sway Putin's policy.

For all the talk about this & that & whatever with Trump, this is the real game/set/match for executive power: a SCOTUS ruling that the Impoundment Act is unconstitutional and that POTUS can refuse to spend appropriations. 1/

In a new WSJ oped, @elonmusk & @VivekGRamaswamy say they believe SCOTUS could open the door to unilateral spending cuts, without Congress, based on what they say is the unconstitutionality of the 1974 budget law Could be an absolutely massive, pivotal fight

After the Civil War, the U.S. tried to build a multiracial democracy for the first time. It mostly worked. And many white southerners were LIVID. Never stopped plotting to roll it back. They finally seized their opportunity in the aftermath of the election of 1876… 1/6

Respectfully… what are y’all actually talking about??? Not only was DEI not mentioned… diversity programs have been on the decline

🧵Nearly 60% of Maricopa County voters approved Proposition 479, which extends a 0.5% sales tax for transportation infrastructure. While the legislature was divided on sending this to the voters, their constituents weren't. Prop 479 passed in every LD. So how about by city? 1/6

Never seen this level of antitrans hate. Kamala is talking about murdered trans people and they are joking about how annoying it is. This is positively genocidal.

It should have happened months ago, but at least it's happening now. Ukraine brings the war home to Russia, and Putin will shake his fist full of red lines, while doing nothing.

New: Ukraine has launched British-French-made Storm Shadow missiles at targets inside Russia for the first time on Wednesday, according to a Russian military blog and Reuters a day after Ukraine fired US-made ATACMS missiles into Russia.

A speculative hypothesis: RCV in Alaska almost was repealed because most Republicans blamed it for Peltola's win in 2022. But in 2024, the GOP expanded its lead over Peltola through the ranked-choice. Does that diffuse GOP hostility if this comes back?

🚨 Ranked-choice voting survives in Alaska (pending a possible recount). Alaska released the final count of all its ballots, and with it the final result on the measure to repeal RCV: The 'no' leads the 'yes' by 664 votes.

Unable to respond to permission to fire long-range Western missiles at Russian territory, Russia has resorted to attacks on civilians and infrastructure in Ukraine and hybrid tactics. There is no doubt that Russia is behind the damage to the Finland/Germany and 1/13

Useful reminder also that all of our Silicon Valley oligarchs owe their careers to American tax dollars and government research.
