Capitol Seizure

“J6 Shocker: Cellphone firms dispute FBI testimony on pipe bombs suspect, key lawmaker reveals” [Just the News]. “lular carriers have informed Congress they possess intact cellphone utilization information from the neighborhood the place two pipe bombs had been planted in the course of the Jan. 6 incident, immediately disputing FBI testimony that brokers couldn’t determine a suspect as a result of the cellphone information was corrupted, a key Home chairman tells Simply the Information. The revelations from Rep.

The issues concerning the unsolved Jan. 6 pipe bombs have been heightened by proof Loudermilk disclosed within the final yr displaying that then-Vice President-elect Kamala Harris was taken inside 10 yards of one of many reside bombs on the morning of Jan. 6 as a result of the Secret Service didn’t do an intensive safety sweep. As well as, Loudermilk additionally offered safety digicam video footage and nonetheless images of the suspect holding a tool that lawmakers imagine was a cellphone, additional making the cellphone information a possible case-solving piece of proof.” • We additionally don’t know who arrange the well-known gallows, or why it wasn’t taken down.

Biden Administration

“Particular counsel Jack Smith stands down in Trump categorised docs case, asks court docket to halt enchantment” [New York Post]. “Particular counsel Jack Smith requested a federal appellate court docket on Wednesday to halt his enchantment in President-elect Donald Trump’s categorised paperwork case, citing the outcomes of the 2024 election. ‘Because of the election held on November 5, 2024, one of many defendants on this case, Donald J.

Trump Transition

“Trump triumphantly returns to White Home as Biden pledges ‘easy transition’” [Washington Times]. “‘I look ahead … to having a easy transition. We’ll do every part we are able to to be sure you’re accommodated what you want,’ a smiling Mr. Biden stated as he congratulated a person who had relentlessly attacked his psychological capability and branded his administration as a ‘catastrophe.’ Mr. Trump additionally pledged that the transition will probably be ‘as easy as it might get.’ ‘Politics is hard, and in lots of circumstances, it’s not a pleasant world, however it’s a pleasant world at the moment,’ Mr. Trump stated. They shook palms in entrance of a roaring hearth within the Oval Workplace.” • What was burning within the hearth? The Epstein tapes and a duplicate of The Enabling Act?

“Donald Trump reveals solely to The Submit what he and Biden spoke about at DC assembly” [New York Post]. “President-elect Donald Trump informed The Submit Wednesday that he and President Biden “each actually loved seeing one another” once they sat down for a historic post-election get-together within the Oval Workplace. ‘You recognize, it’s been a protracted, it’s been a protracted slog,’ the 78-year-old stated throughout a cellphone interview as he left Washington. ‘It’s been lots of work on each side and he did an excellent job with respect to campaigning and every part else.

A lot for all that “our democracy” hoo-ha, then. Additionally too “fascism.” Pricey Lord, these individuals simply activate a dime!

“Biden, Trump Die 2 Minutes Aside Holding Fingers” [The Onion]. “‘Solely minutes earlier than their deaths, they requested that their hospital beds be pushed collectively—it’s like they knew what was coming,’ stated Marlene Kato, a nurse who confirmed that medical employees at Walter Reed Medical Middle, the place the 2 presidents spent their remaining hours collectively, had been surprised when Biden died at 8:05 p.m. and Trump adopted at 8:07. ‘They had been rivals in life, however they got here along with love in demise. They had been each very weak, however turned their heads to face one another and smiled. Biden stated, ‘You had been the one one who ever acquired me,’ and Trump stated, ‘I do know.’ I began tearing up proper there after which. It was simply so lovely. Then they used their remaining breaths to request a shared burial plot on the Trump Nationwide Golf Membership in Bedminster.’ At press time, a coroner’s report revealed that Trump had strangled Biden after which succumbed to a coronary heart assault two minutes later.”• Oh.

“Donald Trump Jokes He ‘Can’t Get Rid’ of Elon Musk Amid Rising Affect” [Newsweek]. “”Elon received’t go residence. I can’t eliminate him—no less than till I don’t like him,” Trump joked, acknowledging Musk’s rising presence in his interior circle.” And: “Throughout his week-long keep at Mar-a-Lago, Musk has bonded with the president-elect’s household, posing for images and taking part in golf, whereas additionally becoming a member of calls with international leaders, together with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He’s additionally scheduled to satisfy Argentina’s President Javier Milei at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday. Though the president-elect has usually stated that Musk doubtless received’t tackle a full-time place as a consequence of his different commitments, Musk—who as soon as vowed to remain out of politics—seems to be having fun with his new function.”

“Trump’s decide for prime intel job has been accused of ‘traitorous’ parroting of Russian propaganda” [NBC]. • The spooks appear sad.

“Tulsi Gabbard’s Nomination Is a Nationwide-Safety Threat” [Tom Nichols, The Atlantic]. • As do By no means Trumper nationwide safety goons.

“The Curious Case of Tulsi Gabbard: Is She a Russian Asset or a Dupe?” [Jonathan V. Last, The Bulwark]. “As a result of for a decade Gabbard has appeared and behaved like a Russian asset.” • An asset? With a handler? I’ll solely imagine this if 51 intelligence officers inform me so. (Sorry to go all heuristic on this, I needs to be assessing all this on the deserves, however sheesh.)

“Gaetz resigns from Congress — probably skirting long-awaited Ethics report” [Politico]. “Dozens of GOP lawmakers indicated that management had informed them about Gaetz’s resignation earlier than Johnson made the announcement. Many had been excitedly spreading the information, glad to be rid of the architect of Kevin McCarthy’s speakership ouster. Gaetz didn’t attend the GOP’s hours-long assembly close to the Capitol on Wednesday, the place Republicans elected their management slate. Johnson stated Gaetz had resigned so abruptly as a result of he knew how lengthy it might take to fill the seat if he turns into lawyer common…. Different GOP Home colleagues imagine his resolution is definitely tied to an Ethics Committee report investigating a number of allegations together with that Gaetz engaged in intercourse with a minor, which they imagine was poised to be launched in a matter of days. Gaetz has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and has sought to assault the panel probing varied allegations in opposition to him. If Gaetz is now not a member of the Home, the report doubtless received’t be formally launched, although it may leak. One Home Republican, granted anonymity to talk candidly, tied Gaetz’s resignation to making an attempt to ‘stymie the ethics investigation that’s popping out in a single week.’” • It appears to have been fairly successfully stymied already, however no matter.

“Trump Nominates ‘Khanservative’ Matt Gaetz as Legal professional Common” [Matt Stoller, BIG]. Stoller adopted anti-trust in Congress intently. Right here’s a telling anecdate about Gaetz:

At one level in the course of the markup, at 3am or so, [Democrat David Cicilline, actually an anti-monoply ally] allowed an modification that punched a loophole in one of many payments. The modification would have let large tech companies buy firms for lower than $50 million in worth with out a lot scrutiny. It wasn’t an enormous deal; everybody was exhausted and needed to only transfer alongside. However at that second, Gaetz chimed in and stated he opposed it. He didn’t win. However he was the one member in both get together to say he needed no loopholes, irrespective of how small, for giant tech.

When the highlight is on, most individuals don’t need to seem craven. However when the highlight is just not on, when it’s 3 am and the one people who find themselves paying consideration are highly effective lobbyists from organized cash, properly, that’s when somebody tells you what their priorities are. And in that case, Gaetz stated he’d combat for each inch, even when he would get no credit score, even when everybody was drained, and even when he was going to lose, and in dropping, upset a number of firms value a trillion {dollars} apiece.

The entire piece is value studying in full, provided that Gaetz appears sound on Lina Khan, protection reform, and surveillance (and really referred to as for Snowden to be pardoned). So no surprise highly effective forces need to take him down.

“Matt Gaetz as soon as confronted a intercourse trafficking investigation by the Justice Division he may now lead” [Associated Press]. “The federal intercourse trafficking investigation that started beneath Legal professional Common Invoice Barr throughout Trump’s first time period centered on allegations that Gaetz and onetime political ally Joel Greenberg paid underage women and escorts or supplied them items in alternate for intercourse. Greenberg, a fellow Republican who served because the tax collector in Florida’s Seminole County, admitted as a part of a plea take care of prosecutors in 2021 that he paid girls and an underage woman to have intercourse with him and different males. The boys weren’t recognized in court docket paperwork when he pleaded responsible. Greenberg was sentenced in late 2022 to 11 years in jail. Federal investigators scrutinized a visit that Gaetz took to the Bahamas with a bunch of ladies and a physician who donated to his marketing campaign, and whether or not the ladies had been paid or acquired items to have intercourse with the lads, in accordance with individuals accustomed to the matter who weren’t allowed to publicly focus on the investigation. Prosecutors additionally investigated whether or not Gaetz and his associates tried to safe authorities jobs for among the girls, and scrutinized Gaetz’s connections to the medical marijuana sector, together with whether or not his associates sought to affect laws Gaetz sponsored, the individuals have stated. Gaetz had remained beneath investigation by the Home Ethics Committee over allegations that he was a part of a scheme that led to the intercourse trafficking of a 17-year-old woman. The committee started its assessment of Gaetz in April 2021, , and renewed its work shortly after Gaetz introduced that the Justice Division had ended a intercourse trafficking investigation. Over the summer season, the committee offered an uncommon public replace into its long-running investigation, saying its assessment now contains whether or not Gaetz engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, accepted improper items and sought to hinder authorities investigations of his conduct. Gaetz has categorically denied all of the allegations earlier than the committee.” • Properly, I suippose we are able to count on a leak shortly. (One purpose I apply a hermeneutic of suspicion to intercourse scandals is that lengthy, way back, an Illinois Republican acquired taken down over intercourse membership allegations in a set of mysteriously launched divorce papers, and the Democrat went on to win. I centered my aghastitude on the scandal, however the successful Democrat was this dude named Barack Obama, who was simply one other elected on the time.)

2024 Submit Mortem

Deploy the Blame Cannons!

“The Democrats Dedicated Suicide This 12 months” [James K. Galbraith, Project Syndicate]. ” Trump’s remaining tally will probably be solely barely larger than his 2020 complete of 74.2 million votes. For Harris, although, we’ll see a disastrous decline from the 81.2 million votes that Joe Biden acquired, and this even if the voting-eligible inhabitants has elevated by 4 million. In different phrases, Trump gained virtually no assist in his four-year marketing campaign for redemption. If all of the voters had been the identical, one may even say that he merely acquired his 2020 supporters to vote for him once more. In actual fact, about 13 million individuals (most of them eligible voters) have died, and about 17 million have change into voter-eligible, implying that Trump changed his losses about one-for-one, whereas a decline in turnout value the Democrats practically ten million votes. These numbers forged grave doubt on explanations of the end result that concentrate on financial circumstances, and nonetheless extra on the affect of promoting and get-out-the-vote campaigns. The outcomes additionally deflate analyses based mostly on the ‘American voter.’… .” Extra: “After we have now dominated out the implausible, no less than three cheap conjectures stay. The primary issues the circumstances of voting. In 2020, owing to the pandemic, voting was extra accessible than ever earlier than…. In 2024, some – although not all – of those expedients now not existed, after already declining in 2022. It’s normal in America to make use of the construction of voting to assist decide the result: lengthy strains on the polls discourage turnout, particularly amongst working individuals with restricted time.” Sure, the distinctive competence of the fashionable political get together. Extra: “A second believable clarification issues voter registration. College students and low-income minority residents transfer extra often and normally should re-register each time their handle adjustments. It’s extremely possible that this burden falls extra closely on Democrats.” And now: “The third speculation activates the long-standing divisions throughout the Democratic Social gathering…. The Clintons and Obamas are presently the de facto heads of the centrist faction, and Biden and Harris had been their appointees…. The Democratic management engineered this case and should subsequently want it. Win or lose, it stays answerable for an unlimited shadow equipment: consultants, pollsters, lobbyists, fundraisers, key positions on Capitol Hill. Any concessions to new forces throughout the get together would undermine this management, whereas losses to Republicans don’t. The Democratic management would far moderately lose an election or two – and even change into a everlasting minority get together – than open the get together to individuals it can not management. The 2024 election was, subsequently, a suicide. The Democratic management was, at greatest, detached to the erosion of voting entry, negligent in retaining 2020’s new voters, and proactive in guaranteeing the abstention of what little stays of its ‘left’ wing. It tried to cowl this up, as traditional, with celeb endorsements and identification politics. As traditional, it didn’t work. However the get together’s mandarins and their apparatchiks will probably be round subsequent time to strive once more.” • I may quarrel with causality (“financial circumstances” is definitely a little bit slippery), however this conforms in virtually each respect to my priors (besides one ought to hardly go away the spooks, the press, and the NGOs out of the “huge shadow equipment”). So I prefer it 🙂

“Trump’s Win Leaves Democrats Asking: The place Are Our Bro Whisperers?” [New York Times]. “[S]ome youthful Democrats stated a broader technique shift was so as, particularly by way of how politicians method nontraditional media. Celeb appearances and paid endorsements from influencers come throughout as transactional and inauthentic, they stated. ‘It’s last-second, ‘Let’s get Beyoncé onstage to say we assist girls,’ however that doesn’t transfer anybody who wasn’t already going to vote Democrat,’ stated Ayem Kpenkaan, a liberal content material creator who goes by @bocxtop on social media. As Democrats had been casting about for explanations for Mr. Trump’s victory, posts by Mr. Kpenkaan, 25, blaming ‘alpha male podcasts’ for males’s rightward shift went viral. He instructed that Democrats wanted liberal variations of media platforms which can be culturally right-leaning however not inherently political — like Barstool Sports activities, the favored sports activities model that has change into so enmeshed in on-line tradition that it has coined a phrase, Barstool conservatism. ‘We have now to make entertaining, partaking content material that males need to watch and care about,” Mr. Kpenkaan stated. “Then, over time, you pepper in additional progressive views.” • “Content material creator” sounds one thing like a producer of “slop feedstock” to me, however what do I do know?

“The State-Degree Variations Between the Presidential and Senate Races” [Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball]. The Summary: “Break up outcomes between presidential and Senate outcomes noticed a resurgence in 2024, as no less than 4 Donald Trump-won states despatched Democrats to the Senate. Republicans nonetheless took the bulk within the Senate as a result of whereas Sens. Jon Tester (D-MT) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) carried out notably higher than Kamala Harris, they didn’t achieve this by sufficient to carry their seats. Throughout most key Senate races, Senate Democrats ran higher than Harris in rural elements of their states however had been comparatively weak in some suburban counties. In certainly one of Harris’s greatest states, Maryland, former Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MD) stood out as Republicans’ prime overperformer, though Harris’s 26-point margin within the state was an excessive amount of for him to beat.” • Helpful map:

“There’s a Higher Solution to Speak About Fluoride, Vaccines and Uncooked Milk” [Emily Oster, New York Times]. “Contemplate three subjects of a lot public dialogue: measles vaccines, uncooked milk and water fluoridation. All three signify fault strains between what is alleged by public well being businesses and by Mr. Kennedy and different skeptics. The place their messages differ is within the energy and complexity of the proof…. My suggestion is that when requested about these subjects, well being consultants present this degree of element. Merely saying that vaccines are good and uncooked milk is dangerous misses specifics that folks discover necessary. Folks usually do their analysis, and in the event that they really feel the dangers of uncooked milk have been exaggerated, it might erode their belief. Now maybe that particular person is extra more likely to mistrust the vaccine messaging, too. With extra data, we offer room for individuals to drink uncooked milk but in addition vaccinate their youngsters. Which is, principally, an affordable selection. Offering context additionally helps individuals make sense of latest data…. Being extra nuanced won’t be simple for public well being businesses. They should put extra belief of their viewers…. If well being consultants share a extra balanced message about uncooked milk, extra individuals would possibly drink uncooked milk. And, sure, that does entail some elevated danger. I’m arguing that in alternate it’s possible you’ll get larger measles vaccination. It’s not an ideal state of affairs, however it might imply that fewer individuals get sick and die. Which, in any case, needs to be the final word aim.” • The issue right here is that Oster, an economist, has monitor file:

“Jesse Sheidlower solutions our questions on ‘The F-Phrase’” [Strong Language]. “Lexicographer Jesse Sheidlower has been researching and writing about f*ck for a f*cking very long time: practically three a long time.” This caught my eye: “You cite the Web Archive as a invaluable useful resource this time round. Any specifics you may share? [SHEIDLOWER:] I can’t overstate the significance of the Web Archive; it may not have been doable to do that version with out it. It holds an immense of quantity of fabric about every part, so that you don’t simply get mainstream fiction (which is itself, after all, very helpful), however all types of stuff you don’t usually consider. For instance, highschool and school yearbooks are an immensely invaluable supply for casual writing, however hardly anybody has used them for linguistic analysis earlier than. I quote over a dozen yearbooks, all from the Web Archive, on this version, in lots of circumstances offering the earliest instance we have now: “f*ck ’em if they’ll’t take a joke,” from Baltimore in 1971; “f*ck you and the horse you rode in on” in Massachusetts in 1964; MFWIC ‘motherf*cker what’s in cost’ from the US Air Power Academy in 1963.
