OK, I hear you. My message wasn’t so much to criticize you as it was to criticize the narrative that is thrust upon us because it feels like a false choice.

With you otherwise; evokes: “If you stand for nothing, Burr, what’ll you fall for?”

Or instead, perhaps reject conventional moderate vs. leftist framing. There are through lines across the party even when there are differences. Mamdani probably wouldn’t be right (or win) to govern Virginia, but Spanberger seems like she is a good fit. Different geographies/electorates ➡️ candidates

Are you SURE it was a one-on-one, @nbcnewyork.com?

Steven J. Lockjaw says what?

Isn’t this basically why Michael Dukakis lost an election?

Same. Only reason I know of it is she was on Colbert promoting last week

A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

they’ve made it easier to build concentration camps.

It was '17 actually, but yes they did. A contributing factor and difference: they broke the Weinstein story, so were more incented for a sustained push

Another day, another potentially impeachable offense.

Soon: More trains
Next, please: HSR trains
After that, please: More tracks

FYI @trainstramstracks.bsky.social

Quite possibly

I see it as a second Reconstruction, the systems that failed need to be revised to to prevent future incursions into authoritarianism

Truth and reconciliation.

This is the same party (and many of the same people) who complained ad nauseum that the ACA was too many pages!

IRL LOL :)

🎯 That was one of the most pointed moments of the whole film for me

Nah that's vibranium

Additional problem with this is he may mean "His, Baby, His"

Is The Girlfriend good-bad TV or bad-good TV? A scheming golddigger and a smothering mother face off in The Girlfriend.

Notable, as I respect your takes and the Slate Culturefest's, and all three hosts this week had so many problems with it that I'd written off watching

Slate’s List of the Most Influential Americans Over 80 “Influence” isn’t necessarily a positive thing. The list includes plenty of figures with complicated legacies.

You'd love @slate.com's 80 over 80 then

Fantastic! And well earned!

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Nearly: make it Turkey and then you're there

Thanks – love the show!

Latest CBO analysis of the full distributional effects of the Trump budget (the "One Big Bill") just landed. They blew out the budget, see how big of a slice you got.

Oh wow, never knew Miguel Ferrer, who was terrific in so many things live acting and voice acting (from CROSSING JORDAN to Weather Wizard in SUPERMAN: TAS and Vandal Savage in YOUNG JUSTICE) was part of the Clooney clan. He is missed

President Trump said he would upend the global trade system. He’s doing it. Last night, just hours before his sweeping tariffs were set to take effect, he announced new, steep rates for more than five dozen countries. And he delayed the deadline again; most of the tariffs are now set to take effect next week.

The NY Times insists on using the term "dozen" in as many situations as possible and it really is something to be behold. I've thought about logging them but there are just too many to keep up with.

Why not just say over 60 countries?
