ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

When my youngest was maybe 3, he had Martian friends and “knew” some astounding “facts.” When we asked how he knew something, he would say, “I know it in my brain!”

It was funny. Then.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

China Agrees To Purchase 11 U.S. Soybeans SEOUL—In a historic trade agreement that President Donald Trump touted as a major win for an American farmer, China reportedly agreed Thursday to purchase 11 U.S. soybeans. “I am extremely honored tha...

Speaking as a dude who has a yearly family reunion, "aunt" and "uncle" fill a role, what the fuck are you supposed to call all those other older people you're vaguely related to, do you think there's someone running around with an org chart saying who's a second cousin thrice removed or something

Can you imagine covering Sports the way we cover Politics?

"Both team claim victory in Sunday's game.

"Coach disputes referree's defintiion of 'Field Goal.'"

"Analysts differ on whether ball crossing goal line constitutes a touchdown."

Democrats should run a TV ad in Mike Johnson's district, thanking his constituents for taking the hit on the SNAP shutdown and other government services they use all so Mike could keep the Epstein Files from coming out?

"America's Richest Pedophiles Appreciate YOUR Sacrifice!"

I have a very bad feeling about this...

NPR lawsuit alleges Corporation for Public Broadcasting gave in to political pressure NPR is accusing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in federal court of reneging on a contract to appease the White House.

Profiles in cowardice.

“Behind the scenes, however, CPB and PBS officials signaled they would not object to pulling funding for NPR, which has drawn the lion's share of Republicans' accusations of liberal bias.”

Prosecutors gonna ham it up sometimes, but journalists for Pete’s sake don’t need to use these quotes about the gambling busts.

“Your winning streak has ended,” Nocella said … “Your luck has run out. Violating the law is a losing proposition, and you can bet on that.”

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

New York Times: Scott Perry Says Democrats ‘Hate the Military,’ Echoing Trump’s attacks. The remarks by the Republican House member from Pennsylvania align with efforts by the president and G.O.P. leaders to portray the political left as un-American.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

For sure some of the legacy media outlets are downplaying the protests because they’re aligned with Trump, but I think an even bigger factor is how many elite journalists have a patrician disdain for the idea that politics can happen in the streets and not just the CNN green room.

Not exactly SNL Sean Connery-on-Jeopardy funny, especially when they coordinate it as a talking point. But I’m sure they giggled a lot, perhaps momentarily resembling human beings with souls.

Pritzker has now made more profit from gambling than all of Trump’s casinos.

But seriously, this might be a way break through to tuned-out youngish men. He could play poker online while shooting the breeze with guests (for charities, natch).

Whenever Democrats are tempted to pull out the old “spirited disagreements but we’re all Americans” bromide, they need to remember this first.

Sad. IU *used to be* a respected journalism/media school.
