"But it’s becoming increasingly hard not to think that the alleged pipe bomber’s affinities — for Trump and the 2020 Big Lie — may be playing a part in the Trump administration acting very much out of character by being … subdued about the case."

"some touted by people who became top FBI officials in the Trump II presidency. So it was more than a little awkward when the Trump Justice Department finally announced an arrest in the case.
That may explain in part why after initially hailing the arrest, things have been rather muted from the White House and Justice Department."

"It’s been a reasonable inference for more than five years now that whoever planted the pipe bombs at both national party headquarters on the eve of Congress’ certification of the 2020 presidential election was probably not someone who was excited that Joe Biden had won.
As the case languished, however, it bizarrely became the subject of a host of right-wing cover-up conspiracies —"

"It’s not often you can see the effects of enshittification instantly, but CBS News after the Paramount/Skydance merger is a very clear one. We’ve gone from Walter Cronkite reporting the shooting and death of JFK to new CBS News Editor-In-Chief Bari Weiss’s bizarre interview with Erika Kirk (which dominated their Twitter feed like it was run by Russian bots)."

"The suspect was not a shadowy deep-state Democratic operative. He was not a saboteur planted inside MAGA. He was a man radicalized by the very Trumpian lies that too many people in the public sphere have trafficked with glee and no accountability."

Dan Shuster comments on the … interesting … media silence after it turns out that the person planting pipe bombs in DC on Jan. 6 was a MAGA believer in the lie that the 2020 election had been stolen:
"If the suspect had been anything other than a believer in 'Stop the Steal,' every cable news outlet, every Sunday talk show, and every social media feed would have exploded in breathless coverage."

"You cannot understand the present—this sense of a nation drifting toward pariah status, a nation no longer trusted, a nation capable of being bent by a single man and the lieutenants who carry out his will—without stepping back to the beginning, to that moment when the men who declared liberty also wrote slavery into the country’s governing framework."

"For a person who has tied their identity to their ability and right to abuse others (which is in the end what a supremacist must become) the only story that matters is their own. The abuse they are doing is not to be talked about, and if it is talked about then it wasn't that bad, and if it was that bad, then it was deserved…."

"While the Catholic bishops may be showing signs of ambivalence, there are signs that Americans overall are sympathetic to these churches who are taking a stand. This week, PRRI released new analysis of American attitudes on immigration reform that show Americans are rejecting Trump’s dehumanizing, racist rhetoric and harsh immigration policies."

Robert P. Jones notes that though the US Catholic bishops have issued a rare statement condemning Trump's attacks on Immigrants, the archdiocese of Boston has leaned on a Catholic parish in Dedham, Massachusetts, to take down its Christmas creche, which indicts ICE for cruelty to immigrants.

"We find those Americans who are the strongest adherents to that ideology, about one in 10 Americans, really look very distinct on immigration policy. They're, I think, the most draconian in their views about immigration."

"I think, for me, the biggest takeaway from the [PRRI] survey is that the Trump administration's second term immigration agenda is mobilizing his base, particularly white evangelical Protestants and Christian nationalists, but it's really alienating a lot of other Americans across the board."

"No foreign entrepreneur or high-skilled immigrant student will look at the US with the sense of safety, security, and opportunity that they did before January 20th. Once-secure research positions at labs, universities, and medical centers will never feel as sure-a-thing as they did."

"We now recognize and confront strains of our neighbors — especially racism and misogyny — in a way more naked and violent than most of us had believed possible in the 21st century. Decades of progress in welcoming trans people and people with disabilities and different learning styles into American life have been unwound; decades of hard-fought progress by Blacks and women in the military and government have been undone."
"Even if Trumpism fails, America is fundamentally changed. We have always told ourselves 'it can’t happen here.' But it now has — and we can never look at our country the same again. Trump has made American daily life coarser, more rude, and less welcoming to others. We have seen fundamental tears this year in the civic fabric of our country and communities."

"Plenty of American CEOs have proven themselves to be quite morally flexible; plenty of them appear willing to pay once-unthinkable bribes if it helps their business, even unconstitutional export taxes! …

The truth is, it never was about the economy for a majority of Trump voters. Truth is, they knew exactly whom and what they were voting for. "The economy" was just a specious excuse. The racism and heterosexist male entitlement and immigrant bashing: that's what they wanted.
