At some point I figured out that the glove compartment was called that for a reason and it was a revelation

“The President sent his lawyer to negotiate a settlement with a convicted sex trafficker to provide cushy accommodation in exchange for her silence on his participation in said sex trafficking” is a cold description of the facts of an insane story that the media doesn’t find worthy of scrutiny

Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

Yo @hassan.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov… wtf???

Asking the favorite band question to politicians is generally considered a waste of bandwidth but John Edwards absolutely froze on the question in a debate and it was an unexpected early sign that he could learn a message but brought no useful human qualities to the table.

Trump repeatedly fell asleep during his criminal trial in New York last year. You may not have heard about it much because the media decided that Tim Walz retiring from the National Guard 20 years ago merited more prominent coverage

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

"Trump's hurting his own voters!" My sweet summer child, Trump is an abusive man and we (the country) tried to leave him. We did not succeed. And he intends to make us pay for it as long as he is able.

This is ALSO a media story.

Non-white, young, and low-income voters were misled about what Trump would do. Now they’re learning, and they hate it.

ahhhh that one beautiful day when it felt like these people finally became a punchline rather than a threat, that the whole world could see these halfwits couldn't even organize a press conference let alone run a whole country

then 4 years later they're back failing to run the country again

I thought “making the barista write a weird right-wing name on the cup” was the lowest form of this but “immediately making it so no one wants to talk to me” is really a much purer distillation.

Trump goes to court to starve kids should be a headline everywhere today

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

Trump is fighting tooth and nail legally to deny SNAP to hungry families in the US.

He has murdered hundreds of thousands globally denying USAID food to the hungry outside the US.

Trump is a sociopath who loves killing people.

That is who is in the White House.

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.

Change my mind.

How a thrown sandwich became a symbol of D.C.’s resistance In an already surreal moment, Washingtonians have embraced bread puns, sandwich flags, and sub-themed street art as a form of protest.

Sean Charles Dunn’s moment of culinary resistance — he wouldn't be subservient, one could say — has become a symbol of D.C.’s refusal to accept the federal occupation quietly.

Earlier today, D.C.'s own "sandwich guy" was found not guilty of the charges against him.

Will a great night for Dems and democracy mean Trump doubles down? | Will Bunch It was a Democratic blue tsunami from Maine to Mississippi Tuesday, with the common bond between voters being they think America is way off track.

I've been covering elections since 1982 and never seen a whupping quite like Tuesday, with Democrats winning everything everywhere from Manhattan to Mississippi

The question now: Does a cornered, wounded Trump double down on dictatorship? My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/demo...

The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact

Sean Dunn, aka DC Sandwich Guy, speaks outside court after his not guilty verdict:

“I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of everything….

“That night I believe I was protecting the rights of immigrants…

Every life matters, no matter where you came from, no matter how you got here…”

We are going to live in a world where the the marginal cost of electricity is very close to zero
