It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:

1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

Beisbol is so stressful. Almost nine years in Seattle and the one year I decide to start cheering for the Mariners I sign up for stress.

I’m genuinely surprised they didn’t just lie about this or not tell us.

I said this elsewhere but the way that the white male dominated field of economics is defending Lisa should tell you how serious this move is. Not that they wouldn’t — her work is stellar — but this isn’t a case like Harvard where colleagues are willing to risk losing a colleague.

Has anyone done a deep dive on the kids birthday party gift bag industrial complex? When did this become a thing we parents just all agreed to do?!

Will Meet The Press ask random other white politicians to condemn Trump's antisemitic language this weekend? Or does that only apply to Mamdani?

People have no idea, not really, how this budget is about to wreck their very foundations.

This is why Hakeem and Gillibrand and the party line Dems and consultants hate Zohran. They say they want a "Joe Rogan of the left" and it's clear that the Dems do not need that at all. Zohran fucks up the whole grift game.

He's pulling back the curtain and they're scared shitless.

you know, if i were in the position of interviewing jeffries here, i would ask the congressman to specify exactly when and where mamdani used that language.

we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him

looks like an objective assessment to me

We confuse “you need to do something” with “I alone must be present for anything to be happening”

Hell is already here. If people who organize don’t know you? You didn’t want to be known. You can change that. You cannot, however, choose to be unknown and then claim to not know what to do.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

A photo of Senator Chris Van Hollen with Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senator meets with Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador amid court fight over his return to US after mistaken deportation.

Say more, Senator. Who, specifically, are you afraid of? Who do they work for? To which political party do they belong? What are they doing/saying in particular to make you afraid? Why will you not explicitly call out the perpetrators and organizers of this mass campaign of terror?

Step. Aside.

If you’re too afraid to do the job then it’s time for you to leave.
