Centrists Shrank the Democratic Tent. Only the Left Can Expand It. Motivated by their personal agenda, establishment Democrats pushed voters away in 2024. To repair that damage, the party needs a left-wing agenda.

Until the Democrats stop pushing people out of their coalition, they’ll continue to lose: www.joewrote.com/p/centrism-s...

Kamala Harris to anti-genocide protestors: “You want to talk about legacy? Let’s talk about the legacy of mass deportations, of not voting, and Donald Trump.”

Harris’s book recognized her Palestine position cost her precious votes. But she doesn’t seem to know that.

‘Kidnapped from his tank’

Dan Rather, not a fan of Bari Weiss.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado is allied with Netanyahu's Likud Party and addressed a European far-right conference that called for a "Reconquista" against "Islam and wokism."

I worry this will tarnish other respected Nobel winners and nominees, such as Henry Kissinger and Hitler.

Bari Weiss at CBS won't help Israel. Americans are pissed that the media tried to hide a genocide and favored Palestinians instead. More condescending hasbara will only accelerate that trend, not reverse it.

Bari Weiss has arrived at CBS.

Israelis are hostages, Palestinians are prisoners.

The data leader at “The Argument” magazine blocked me for…. arguing with him.

At the behest of the Zionist lobby, Late Night with Stephen Colbert wanted to play a "thumbs up/thumbs down" game with Zohran Mamdani about the Gaza genocide.

Jaw-dropping inhumanity.

It's difficult to celebrate the pending ceasefire when it's likely Israel will break it (as they did with the January agreement), and if they don't, Trump/Bibi will still cleanse Palestine to build a Temu casino.

Axios is reporting that 77-year-old Governor Janet Mills is joining Maine's Senate race. If elected, Mills will serve until she's 84. That's two years older than Biden is today.

To win elections, Democrats need to expand the coalitional tent and bring in voters who were alienated in 2024. That can only be done by moving left.

Laura Ingraham made Stephen Miller watch AOC roasting him live on air 🤣

"Progressives ran the Democratic Party" is liberals' version of "Trump ended seven wars."

I don't think this is true. OpenAI updated its expected cash burn to $115 billion through 2029. Doesn't seem like they could weather the storm. (Tagging @edzitron.com to confirm)

The AI cope is getting ridiculous.

Chait's psychosis cannot be understated. Biden didn't pick Harris because activists demanded a Black woman. He did so to help the country forget he was a segregationist.

Part II of our recurring series, "It's called the Atlantic because it belongs at the bottom of the ocean."

He who writes for fools will always have an audience.

Jonathan Chait his pants.

Matt Yglesias admits he’s part of an echo chamber. Yet he doesn’t realize it.

Establishment Dems talk about 'the groups' >> Yglesias/Klein/Baro write about them >> politicians read and nod their heads as their misconceptions and excuses are reconfirmed.

Van Jones’ dead Gaza baby joke probably killed at DC cocktail parties

Rarely is the difference between the left and liberal approaches to fighting fascism displayed so clearly.

Corey Sandhagen’s has remarkably impressive takedown defense and recovery for a guy taken down 12 times.

(This is a test to find BlueSky MMA community.)

Thrift shop score. Vintage Hands Off Cuba pin and 3 games. Which should I play first?
