it doesn’t get any clearer that america’s betrothal to fossil fuels is about letting energy companies pick our pockets to prop up their obsolete industry

Trump is on live TV saying he wants to rig elections so Democrats can’t return to power. The most corrupt, anti-American administration in our history.

And also every single county in Virginia shifted blue, two statewide posts in Georgia went blue (for the first time in two decades), three Pennsylvania judicial races went blue, a Maine vote went blue, a Mississippi state senate seat went blue ....

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

The Democratic Party Needs to Learn from Zohran Mamdani's Guts and Backbone Zohran Mamdani did something different, and it made all the difference.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-)

he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

Can we all agree that when a president pardons a guy who was convicted for financing terrorists, and then says he didn't know the guy but "I was told" to pardon him, the follow question MUST be "Who told you to pardon him?" But CBS never asked: who is making decisions in the White House? 1/

First Cuomo got Trump's endorsement, now he's got the endorsement of the richest man in the world.

It's clearer than ever that there's only one candidate for NYC Mayor who will actually stand up to the oligarchs: Zohran Mamdani.

For my oldest, it was Robin Williams as Batty Luna and Tim Curry as Hexxus in Fern Gully.

@sheaserrano.bsky.social I just caught up on your essay regarding Something's Gotta Give. Your note about Patrick Fischler reminded me of this incredible scene he did on The West Wing. Apologies that I could only find the video on Facebook.

As I went thru school in the 80s, I was taught about the Democrats' grassroots organization. Labor unions. Civil rights groups. Serving on school boards & public service commissions. Supporting outreach programs (rural and urban) even if they met in churches. Now, the GOP dominates in these areas.

This guy’s a Christian pastor, in case you think Diocletian didn’t have a point.

Curious if there is more #Florida land owned / developed by Lennar and DR Horton than land held by the public.

Can the Red Sox and Orioles each make a World Series run by 2029 to give the Dodgers a chance to sweep the AL East in a single decade?

if @neguse.house.gov has to *rewrite your dumb question* about Donny’s shutdown on the fly? you absolutely suck at journalism www.reddit.com/r/Destiny/s/...

This could be a series: oppression of women; gun worship; capitalism over democracy; weaponization of Protestant Christianity; etc.

Best 3 minutes you will spend on the internet today.

This is a phenomenal piece. The highest rec.

We're now on ten years of Trump / GOP having no healthcare plan whatsoever. Not even a suggestion of what direction they want to go with it except repealing some overwhelmingly popular elements of Obamacare.

Worth remembering when pundits talk about the importance of nuanced policy messaging.

Looking to speed up building network of migrant detention centers, Trump administration turns to the US Navy | CNN Politics The Department of Homeland Security is funneling $10 billion through the Navy to help facilitate the construction of a s

Trump wants to use the Navy to build $10B worth of migrant detention camps.

Let me get this straight: we "can't afford" to invest in public programs that make housing or healthcare more affordable — but we have endless funds to detain migrants and enrich defense contractors?

I couldn't get to the article, so maybe the author made this point: the Democrats' problem extends beyond supporters who protest but don't vote. Their leaders are just as bad, making speeches and sending email blasts without actually using every measure available to impede / stop Trump.

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing." John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

New Aaron Sorkin pitch just dropped.

Even during a global pandemic, the government didn't have to force the rationing of food or gasoline. The floor for "economic distress" is still historically high.
