You’re interviewing this guy? Did you have trouble booking someone with a credible argument?

The sudden halt mid-cackle and seamlessly shifting into ‘Oh, wow!’ is 🏆🥇

This misses the point: Dems are engaged in an intra-party debate over how much the status quo must be preserved (reactionary centrism) versus disrupted (progressivism) to help all families - just just the moneyed class. It’s messy, but an honest debate. Across the aisle we have the Stepford robots

OMFG: the duo of Mehdi Hasan and Jennifer Welch is the best alchemy since combining chocolate and peanut butter created the Reese Cup.

I could listen to your banter for hours.

The Rubio speech is incoherent and hypocritical. He denounces Soviet communism, the threat and division it sowed in Europe, yet has absolutely nothing to say about Ru's current attempt to restore restore the Soviet empire by re-invading and re-subordinating swaths of Europe. What's worse,...

That plastered smile is Stepford-level creepy.

We’re a better country for your smart and snarky Econ takes. 🇺🇸 🇦🇺

Thank goodness it’s not.

With all due respect, this article is rather fucking tone deaf at a time of national grief.

I'm super glad that Tyler Austin Harper loves to cosplay with his guns, but this moment calls for more grace than Harper's sickening self-pity.

And yes, building bonds of solidarity across nations – grounded in shared values vs. economic self-interest – can only help the cause.

choices that improve national welfare vs. the price of eggs, your single issue, or who you’d rather have a beer with. Voting in such unserious ways leaves us vulnerable to exploitation and erodes the agency we could have. /2

What agency we do and don’t have is an ongoing debate I have with like-minded friends. For any specific electoral outcome, there are larger forces stacked against serious people – PACs, Fox, gerrymandering. In the long term, it does seem past time to have a sober dialogue about making electoral /1

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, most of the U.S. didn't vote for Trump (if you include 2024 non-voters) and stating that is important. Yet it also asks whether each of us are doing enough to preserve the democracy we have. It's fair to paint us as a very unserious electorate.

Lengthy Twitter exchange that ends with John Ganz calling Richard Hanania a total piece of shit

This is the NYTPitchbot vibe.

Hearing Yong talk about work and life inspires me to be a better human; he’s a rare beacon of calm wisdom. I still revisit exchanges from his Feb 2025 NYT interview with David Marchese on the values he brings to journalism and how to sustain hope in dark times.

What’s happening in Iran is horrifying and in other eras, might have led to authentic mobilization.

Perhaps you haven’t noticed the literal five alarm forest fire raging through the U.S. at the moment - and the deafening silence from the right. And Ukraine. And Gaza. Our nation is in overwhelm.

Ed Yong made a similar point in his NYT interview about experiencing birding as meditative for him in a way that actual meditation was not. Birding induced meditation effortlessly, he observed.

Hiking at the Oregon Coast does that for me.

There a moral argument that the agency is not salvageable in its current form.

If we can dismantle an Education department established in the 1970s, we can also reinvent an agency that was formed in 2003.

Perhaps a good grounding for policy work is to center it on values, integrity, and ethics.

Looks like the fine upstanding citizens of Minneapolis are serving ICE with Caribou Accountability Lattes.

GOP Forever: 'Govt needs to set policy on cost benefit analysis!'

GOP in 2026: 'But not with those costs!'

GOP Forever: ‘Govt needs to set policy on cost benefit analysis!’

GOP in 2026: ‘But not with those costs!’

What this means: protest is working. Up the ante.

I can’t imagine many police or ICE officers willing to die on this toxic hill. They must know the public is not with them.

I’m sure another strongly worded letter is forthcoming.

This isn’t a lack of agency on Schumer’s part. It’s a failure of imagination and political will. It’s a failure of leadership.

I feel another strongly worded letter coming on. Someone’s gonna….have to read it.

Notice how every time he dismantles her false talking points, she moves the goalposts. And he still shuts her down each time.
