I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.

They are going to claim we (left/liberals/Democrats/non-white non-supremacists) said whatever is most convenient for them to say we said, no matter what we say. So all the appeasement is pretty much in vain.

The Political Awakening of the Oyster Farmer Gunning for Susan Collins Graham Platner’s campaign launch has been a sudden sensation. But what he’s building now is rooted in the work of a lifetime.

This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor.

Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social

Trump signs an executive order tasking Hegseth to establish "specialised units" within the National Guard to "deal with public order issues" across the US.

Using the US Military against the American public.

As the family of one of the most prominent survivors, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, we are outraged. The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche’s bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history. 

This travesty of justice entirely invalidates the experiences of the many brave survivors who put their safety, security, and lives on the line to ensure her conviction, including our sister

By moving convicted felon Maxwell to a minimum security, country club prison, the DOJ sends a disturbing message that child sex trafficking is acceptable and will be rewarded. 

The Department of Justice serves the people of the United States. We continue to call upon the DOJ to do its job by investigating and holding accountable the many rich and powerful people who enabled Ghislaine Maxwell’s and Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

When you’re a kid, staying up late feels like rebellion. As an adult, staying up late just feels like you’re in a hostage situation with your own brain.

Because she’ll have successfully run the two-year gauntlet of a contested primary. She’ll have figured out her weaknesses. Not saying it’ll happen, just if it does.

If she’s nominated again, she’ll have won vs a deep and talented primary field. If that happens, I like her odds vs any republican, especially Vance.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.
