If someone thinks NY State is going to get a Republican Governor in (checks notes) 2026 (!!!) they’re full of pataki.

Opinion | Looks Like the Supreme Court Will Continue to Overturn the 20th Century

I don’t write the headlines but I do like this one (post-Slaughter argument roundtable for @nytimes.com with @stevevladeck.bsky.social & @williambaude.bsky.social)

This is the crux of the bargain white ppl made voting for trump & the gop. "Rid us of brown ppl & make white ppl the majority again & we will sacrifice our jobs, savings, homes, and even children." They 💯 factored in those losses & decided it was worth it. That's why nothing else he does matters

I would vote for any dog named “Bella” over Donald Trump for sure

It certainly appears that the United States government is run by neo-Nazis.

Democrats Should Have Let Republicans Kill the Filibuster Instead of caving on the shutdown, Democrats should have waited for the GOP to cave on Trump’s demand to scotch this antidemocratic tactic.

Bernie Pummels Bogus Shutdown Deal, While Trump Booed Loudly Along With Some Senate Dems Who Made Bogus Deal With The Devil Mobilizing to push back against no extension to ACA subsidies

In case you missed today's great news that's bad for Trump:

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

Ooh, @lastweektonight.com did a whole thing on Felony Murder last night.

Didn't mention my book chapter on the matter. :( But still, I happy to remind you that these laws are shitty and need to be repealed.

These eight senators are pathetic

Each new statement is dumber than the last.

"If Democrats didn't exist, it would be necessary for Republicans to invent them." -- Elie Voltaire.

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

‘You Are All Terrorists’: Four Months in a Salvadoran Prison

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine.

We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison.

More Senate Democrats folded to let Trump gut our healthcare than House Republicans folded to release the Epstein files.

This is example of why we can't have nice things.

Matthew Yglesias V @mattyglesias I was sympathetic ex ante to the view that Senate Dems were being pushed by an angry base into a tactically unwise course of action, *but in fact it's worked just fine* and both the polling and election results confirm that — bizarre to give up now for peanuts. 1:41 PM • Nov 9, 2025 • 11.6K Views

Everyone is saying it. Literally everyone

Senate Democrats are the only group of people in America that could look at the election results from *less than a week ago* and conclude, “Ah, what the people want now is for us to roll over and show our bellies to the reactionary creeps”

Primaries for senators

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

Mamdani quotes Mario Cuomo, calling him a great New Yorker.

Just thinking back to how I was feeling a year ago.

This is better.

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.
