Please remind us who the domestic terrorists are again.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

The thing about the Nazi chat is these people turned the country upside down and got a lot of people fired to be able to say those things in comfort.

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

These guys must be profound losers. Profoundly awkward outcasts who feel like they are somebody when they hide behind their navy seal cosplay.

Being a decent person was probably once within reach for them.

But they caved to their incredible fragility, instead.

in all the discussion (and sometimes tokenizing) of Portland protests being a creative spectacle that neutralizes law enforcement, don’t overlook:

What about Signal or any of those? Telegram? Discord?

I just saw some of their pictures.

Turns out, I answered my own question.

Homo Sapiens… a failed experiment

Winning back suburban women

They need to get off Facebook. There are other platforms. Like… maybe… this one.

I don’t understand how people turn out like this. Are they outcasts who find a warped community online?

So… Merit Badge for Senator Warren?

And if you have a flag, bring it. Conservatives like to think it belongs to them, but it doesn’t, and if the administration’s goons start cracking down on peaceful, American flag-bearing protesters, it’s going to look really bad for them, so it might offer some protection, too.

If ACA tax credits expire, people like me with Type 1 diabetes might not be able to afford insurance -- or insulin, which would be deadly. Right now BCBSM plans to TRIPLE my premiums without subsidies. Please keep fighting @slotkin.senate.gov, @peters.senate.gov and @rephaleystevens.bsky.social.

It's pub day for my book, "Gilded Rage: Elon Musk and the Radicalization of Silicon Valley," which chronicles the rise of the tech right and their role in the 2024 election. Thanks to everyone who helped along the way.

No Kings Field Kit: Staying Human Under Occupation (October, 2025) They want fear to keep you home—or make you so reactive you play into their hands. This field kit helps you choose your stance, pace yourself, and refuse to let occupation break you.

You’re not alone. You’re not broken. You’re still here. And when you protect these forces in yourself, you make it easier for others to protect them too. That ripple effect is how movements survive.

This is the end game of crypto.

With just $800 in basic equipment, researchers found a stunning variety of data—including thousands of T-Mobile users’ calls and texts and even US military communications—sent by satellites unencrypted.

I imagine they talk like this to address their base.

And it is a sad thing that their base is so poorly educated and ignorant that this sub-parochial word vomit lands with them.

Saving God?

🤦‍♀️

The work of Ken Kesey didn’t age well.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

Carole Cadwalladr was right and we’d be in a better world if more people had listened.

RIP Warren Zevon. ❤️

I hope Canadians are with Charlie.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

That is an amazing candid portrait.

If you couldn't see the cringe before...
