I’m glad Van Jones apologized for his sick joking about dead kids in Gaza.

But the problem goes deeper: he spread Netanyahu propaganda that the mass killings of civilians in Gaza—including 20K+ kids—is Iranian fake news.

It’s not the students and young people who are fooled. It’s Van Jones.

HAKEEM JEFFRIES: "We hope and expect that Republicans will do the right thing"

CHUCK SCHUMER: "We have requested repeated meetings with, um, Sp—Leader Th—[looks down at notes] Leader Thune, Speaker Johnson and the president"

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth

Jeffries answers Trump’s fake gross AI video with a real Epstein besties pic

Hakeem Jeffries still refuses to endorse the Democratic Nominee for NYC mayor but has plenty of praise for Eric Adams who, left the party, openly supports Trump, & cut a deal with Trump to disappear the DOJ’s bribery & corruption charges against him. Can’t imagine why the Dem Party has 26% approval🤔

Opinion | Ta-Nehisi Coates on Bridging Gaps vs. Drawing Lines

This was revealing. Worth reading. The basic demand is that Coates spend less time thinking/writing his true feelings and more time playing political strategist. Klein asks him over and over him to do Dem strategy; he says no, over and over. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

My general belief is that Dems need to spend more time thinking about what they believe and less about what they think some imaginary swing voters want them to believe.

Political strategy will stem from an authentic set of beliefs.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.

These two gotta go.

Ezra Klein is the Sam Altman of political commentary

This is how we need our Democratic Leaders to lead and use their public platform to communicate/engage: instead of groveling for bipartisanship stand up for our values.

The reason for military rules of engagement and adhering to laws of armed combat is not “political correctness,” it’s better strategy, serves long-term national interest, and is a way to make an awful part of the human experience a little less awful, based on lessons learned from centuries of blood.

Chuck Schumer, in an hour from now: The president plans to flood the streets with military personnel to oppress innocent people, but what he should be flooding the streets with is tax credits for the middle class!

Don’t worry, Schumer & Jeffries have a strategy to win over enough Republicans to counteract that 62 percent

Poll 62/24 dems want their leadership replaced

Obviously they only polled Bluesky weirdos and not real american twitter democrats lile Nate Silver

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

ICE agents held 5-year-old girl outside Leominster home to get father to surrender, family says Video appears to show federal immigration agents trying to coax the man out of his Massachusetts home while asking, “Is that your daughter?”

Horrifying to think that there are people who see child kidnapping and harassment like this anc think “Go get ‘em!”

Truly evil

Sen. @ossoff.bsky.social : “Here are some things that happened just in the last couple of weeks…”

Pretty good explanation of why Trump is bailing out his “loyal puppet” buddy Millei in Argentina 👇🏽

America first folks, where you at?

And who does this for us when our chickens come home to roost?

“Sinclair announced its ABC affiliates will preempt Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show starting Tuesday with news programming.“

It's very funny that 1) both Dem Hill leaders are NYC residents and 2) both keep getting poleaxed by this Q and it's ruined their media hits for three months

Brendan Carr and MAGA are going to defend this as "local broadcasters" reflecting their communities.

Let's be clear: Sinclair owns over 160 stations, including the ABC affiliates in Portland, St. Louis and...Washington, D.C. If anything, Sinclair is defying the audiences in those media markets.

This is nothing but an appearance for a book tour. She’s yesterday’s news. Laid low until it was time to put a book out. No thanks. Moving on.

Larry Merlo gives $1,000 to Joe Biden in 2020

Kirk Perry gives $1,000 to Joe Biden in 2020

Both the current chairman and the CEO of Kenvue, the company that owns Tylenol, each gave $1,000 to Joe Biden in 2020. Neither contributed anything to Donald Trump.

TRUMP: All members of the radical left are hereby designated domestic terrorists.

HAKEEM JEFFRIES: As it relates to the domestic terror label, in terms of Trump’s order, what we are witnessing, is, in fact, a deeply unserious exercise …

Ingraham: They said you took $50,000 in cash in a bag from an undercover FBI agent…

Homan: I did nothing criminal or illegal.

Kamala Harris: Right now, we are dealing with, as I called him at my speech on the ellipse, a tyrant

Kamala Harris: He had no plan for actually bringing down costs and prices for the American people. He had very few plans for what he would actually do that was about the American people, and not his vengeance on his enemies.
