    “Who Broke Arm”

    AS IF HE DID IT TO HIMSELF.

    “Brian McGinnis, in full uniform, can be seen on video being grabbed by Republican Senator Tim Sheehy and three police officers. They lift him up in the doorway while he screams “no one wants to fight for Israel” with his hand in the doorway still. Then a snap can be heard, as McGinnis’s arm breaks.”

  19. Comey Shows That Donald Trump’s Contempt for America Knows No Bounds | The New Republic

    Comey Shows That Donald Trump’s Contempt for America Knows No Bounds

    The indictment of the former FBI director is an un-American act. Period.

    James Comey has done some things in his career that I didn’t care for and which I suspect you didn’t like either, for what I’m guessing are similar reasons. But those things are irrelevant today. As of Thursday evening, Comey is one more symbol of Donald Trump’s utter contempt for law and decency. To the extent that the United States of America was founded as a nation where the law was more powerful than any individual leader, the sinister indictment of Comey is the ultimate symbol—so far, that is—of Trump’s contempt for the United States of America.

    Yes—contempt for the United States of America. This may confuse some Americans, who see Trump constantly wrapping himself in the flag, on some obscene occasions even hugging and kissing it—a Judas kiss from a man who has no understanding of what love of country actually means—and think of him as patriotic. But this is exactly what authoritarian thugs throughout history do. They bathe themselves in flag imagery as they torch the best values that flag represents.

  23. Trump Is Taking Over D.C. Police Because He’s a Racist Thug | The New Republic

    Trump Is Taking Over D.C. Police Because He’s a Racist Thug

    Trump doesn’t care about “crime.” He cares about the right white people being in charge.

    Yasin Ozturk / Anadolu/Getty Images Flanked by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Attorney General Pam Bondi, Donald Trump delivers a speech during a press conference at the White House, on August 11.

    It’s still possible, despite my daily exposure to horrific announcements from the Trump administration, for a White House press conference to make me sick with dread. On August 11, the president announced that he was taking federal control of the police force in Washington, D.C., and deploying the National Guard to its streets. As has become routine, Trump attempted to give legitimacy to his entirely gratuitous actions with executive orders, one declaring a nonexistent “crime emergency” in Washington, the other “restoring law and order” by directing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to activate the D.C. National Guard. As Trump’s press conference meandered on, various Cabinet members peppered their remarks with praise—that Trump is “saving” the city, etc. Some blocks away, at Lafayette Square, residents of our nation’s capital protested the coming occupation of the district. “While this action today is unsettling and unprecedented,” said D.C. Mayor Murial Bowser, “I can’t say that given some of the rhetoric of the past … we’re totally surprised.”

  24. Medicaid Cuts? Yes. But the #GOP Is Quietly Cutting Medicare, Too

    A little understood aspect of the big, ugly bill could cause devastating problems for seniors and others.

    PAYGO is not a term that crosses many lips in daily discourse. But it may soon be used more widely, as its impact resonates in the aftermath of the passage of the so-called One Big Beautiful Act. While the enormous and damaging cuts in #Medicaid have dominated discussion since the bill was enacted—cuts that will take millions of Americans off of #HealthInsurance, force the closure of many rural hospitals and nursing homes, and likely put enormous increased pressure on emergency rooms across the country—another shoe is soon to drop. And that is major cuts in its sister program, #Medicare.

  28. Transcript: Trump Is Screwing His Voters in “Mind-Boggling” New Scam – The New Republic

    An economist explains how the sum total of Trump’s policies are hitting working-class voters, especially his own, with a mix of deception and upward redistribution that constitutes something new and unprecedented. Mandel Ngan / AFP via Getty Images

    The Daily Blast with Greg Sargent
    June 30, 2025
    PODCAST

    The following is a lightly edited transcript of the June 3o episode of the Daily Blast podcast. Listen to it here.

    Greg Sargent: This is The Daily Blast from The New Republic, produced and presented by the DSR network. I’m your host, Greg Sargent.

    On many fronts at once, it’s suddenly sinking in how badly President Donald Trump’s policies are screwing over his own voters. Trump just lost his temper with Canada and launched a new trade war with that country that could hurt working-class voters, his people very much included. Whatever happens with that, the tariffs are continuing across the board. This comes as it’s becoming clearer by the day how badly Trump’s big budget bill will hammer Trump voters. And Trump himself recently admitted that his mass deportations are hurting farmers, a major GOP constituency, and hurting the economy to boot. So we’re checking in with economist Jared Bernstein, who has a new piece on his Substack arguing that the data is pointing to a softening economy—which means everything is poised to get worse. Jared is going to help us make sense of where we are on all this. Thanks for coming on, man.

    Jared Bernstein: Thanks for inviting me, Greg.
    Sargent: So The New York Times had this amazing piece the other day tallying up how badly the budget bill is going to hit working people. The House version will cut food benefits by hundreds of billions of dollars and it would knock over 10 million people off health care rolls. That’s going to hit a huge chunk of the working poor across this country. Can you talk about that?

    Bernstein: Yeah. There have been lots of calculations trying to assess the damage here. There’s never been a budget bill that redistributes income more aggressively from the bottom to the top. This is Robin Hood in reverse on massive doses of steroids. They’re literally taking money from poor people and giving it to rich people. And anyone who knows anything about what it’s like to try to get by.… And [when] we talk about an affordability crisis—trust me—that’s a crisis for the bottom 20 percent, not for the top 0.1 percent. If you just combine the negative impact on the incomes of low-income people from this bill with the tariffs—which also disproportionately fall on middle- and low-income people because more of their consumption basket, more of what they buy falls under that import tax—this tax and service cut regime is incredibly punishing to low-income people.

    One other point: It is consistently argued that Republicans won’t raise taxes. They signed a pledge, they’ll never raise taxes. And sure enough, they cut taxes all over the place. Well, they’ve belied that claim. They’ve raised taxes aggressively. Trump has done it, but they’ve stood by through the import taxes. That’s a tax. And as I said, it falls disproportionately on the most vulnerable.

  29. Trump’s Version of Federalism Is a Perverse Death Trap – The New Republic

    Donald Trump delivers remarks at the Invest America Roundtable in the State Dinning room at the White House. Win McNamee / Getty Images

    By Timothy Noah, June 10, 2025

    LEMON FEDERALISM
    Trump’s Version of Federalism Is a Perverse Death Trap

    Call it “Make America Dead Again”: If it’s a peaceful anti-ICE protest, send in the Marines. If it’s a hurricane, no disaster aid for you!

    As on many other policy questions, MAGA doctrine regarding the proper division of power between states and the federal government departs from traditional Republican ideology.

    For half a century after Richard Nixon declared “the New Federalism” in August 1969, Republicans echoed Nixon’s admonition that responsibility should “flow from Washington to the States and to the people.” (Nixon actually said “funds and responsibility,” but President Ronald Reagan took it one step further and killed off Nixon’s federal revenue-sharing program.) The New Federalism, later known just as federalism, said that states and cities were closer to the people and therefore ought to take the lead. In practice, federalism was simply a way for Republicans to limit the federal government’s responsibilities and, eventually, its expenses.

    The Trump administration’s view of the proper division of state and federal responsibility is less consistent than traditional federalism. That’s amply evident from Trump’s diverging policies regarding immigration protests in Los Angeles and the start of hurricane season along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The only unifying principle I see is “Do whatever maximizes the likelihood of physical harm.”

    MAGA’s vision of federalism started to come into focus for me last Friday. It was a beautiful day here in Washington, D.C., so I bought myself an Italian hoagie at Bub and Pop’s and walked over to Dupont Circle to eat it under a tree in the small grassy park situated there. But when I arrived, the Circle was barricaded. The National Park Service had done this to keep out revelers from WorldPride 2025, a celebratory LBGTQ gathering scheduled the next day—even though, as the Park Service’s own website points out, Dupont Circle has been a gathering place for gay pride celebrations for 50 years.
