The two most prominent politicians in America who compared Trump to Hitler are not Democrats but members of his own administration: Vice President Vance and HHS Secretary Kennedy.

Let's say it again:

1) Harvard said "No," and Trump has backed off.

2) Chicago (and Illinois) said "No," and Trump has backed off.

It's day by day. But those who said "OK, sure," have gained nothing at all. Except shame.

Yeah, if you're in the media and someone insists that "they" were celebrating his murder and therefore "they" have to suffer some sort of retribution, you have an obligation to ask who "they" are and what, specifically, they did to celebrate this.

You can't just let them throw that gas on the fire.

"Let's put [Liz Cheney] with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let's see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face."

No matter how much I downgrade my opinion of US institutions, they somehow are always worse than I expect.

I plan to post this ABC News supercut video of Trump calling Harris and Democrats "fascists" (and "communists"!) everytime I see a Republican on TV whining about Trump being called a "fascist" by the left.

Oh, the hypocrisy! Oh, the gaslighting!

Figure it out, folks. They’re outraged because it WASN’T a left-wing radical. Enraged because he came from a gun worshiping family of Trumpers, and he was apparently engaged in an ugly online world that trivializes violence. Stay calm, but remain attentive. Offline is the true reality. Get outside!

There goes his shot at a job on MSNBC.

My most surreal teaching experience years ago was mentioning Gamergate to a student who didn’t think anyone could argue about video games and immediately having a random Gamergater who was walking past the room come in and start ranting about female game journalists pretending to be victims.

Keir Starmer should be old enough to remember that we didn't use to call them patriots, we called them football hooligans.

This is unhinged, dangerous, and reckless. At this point I don't know how you conclude anything other than that Musk is trying to foment pogroms against immigrants across the west.

I’m tired of being pitted against my neighbor.

I’m tired of being told to hate my neighbor.

People across the political spectrum are hungry for a new kind of politics.

‘China Is the Engine’ Driving Nations Away From Fossil Fuels, Report Says

The Chinese dominance of clean-energy industries is “creating the conditions for a decline in fossil fuel use,” according to a report by Ember, a research group focused on the prospects for clean-energy technologies. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/c...

A sneering midwit with inherited wealth got the facts wrong, and accused an honest public servant—Lisa Cook—of fraud. His meddling created a crisis well beyond his portfolio, undermining the Fed.

Bill Pulte can do the right thing and resign.

If merit still matters, he should be fired.

"The number of Americans missing work for National Guard deployments or other military or civic duty is at a 19-year high, adding disruption to a labor market that’s already under strain."

Pretty remarkable when we're not at war—except against our own people.

I finally met @billmckibben.bsky.social in person last night at the Houston Progressive Forum.

Bill is a true OG climate warrior. He’s one of the few people who have been in the climate game longer than I have.

Kirk Killing Suspect in Custody Waiting for news about the arrested suspect in the murder of Charlie Kirk.

“A month ago, another young man was taken from us, also with a wife and two young children. David Rose was the police officer who rushed to the CDC when employees were under attack from a gunman…President Trump never praised him or offered condolences.”
