Right?! It’s incomprehensible to me that the market is falling prey to this tactic
Trump says random, contradictory things about his war because he is not OK in the head, and these buffoonish NYT reporters think he is playing three-dimensional chess with the stock market. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/b...
I've been struggling with how to express my dismay at the war coverage by our top newsrooms, and how it dances around the central fact that Trump is deranged and unfit to command. I finally wrote something. Please read it. presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...
So when are Republican lawmakers going to admit this president is endangering not just the U.S. but the entire globe and stop him before he does even more damage?
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
In 1972, the US had more metro lines per capita than Canada, France, or Germany. Now, it's below all of them. It only has 50% of Canada's per-capita metros.
In 1990, 4 of the world’s 14 longest metros were in the US. Today, not a single US network sits on that list.

Why isn’t Elizabeth Warren the Senate Minority Leader?

Great work by NYT showing Trump's war is the most unpopular ever. Supports my argument (see below) that in some ways the public rejection of Trump across the board is a very heartening development:
goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024
I will bring baseballs and my glove for plausible deniability.
By the same token, it is not discriminatory to discriminate (say by excluding the experiences of native americans or black people in the study of history) it would only be discrimination not to exclude them. Total inversion.
That is the logic of anti-dei reactionary colorblindness. Acknowledging discrimination against a particular group is inherently discriminatory. bsky.app/profile/bren...
These ghouls act like they've discovered some novel secret: "Hey, guys, GUYS! Did you know that we can just kill people whenever we want?" Yes, you absolute idiot, that's ALWAYS been true. We just chose not to, for good and self-interested reasons which the entire world is about to learn yet again.
Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.
Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

It's always a lie about "the kids"
No kid has a problem with gay people, only their parents do
Everything is equally new and wondrous to kids, they accept gay and straight people equally
"The kids" is always a lie on this subject
This is an old strategy of CBP and now ICE, and we just weren't hearing about it until Renee Good's murder. But there are others, and we likely only know the tip of the iceberg. Abolish them both, root and stem.

Helluva way for the president to refer to dead soldiers — soldiers killed in a war he started.

This is the Israeli playbook from Gaza (and Putin's in Ukraine for that matter) and it is ultra-disturbing to see the US carry out repeated attacks on civilian infrastructure. It simply does not serve a military purpose.
It's pretty bad when you are the chief lying liar who lies and can't get one of your obsequiously subordinate lying liars who lie to lie for you because even the subordinate knows it's just too big a lie to tell for anyone but the chief lying liar who lies so much that there is no lie he won't tell.

The jokes write themselves.
i understand that rural democrats frequently have to run against the party and don’t even begrudge them that, but the idea that rural america gets left out of big, national democratic infrastructure initiatives is just typical rural grievance mongering

“There was an expectation that something was going to happen,” said Adrienne King, who has two daughters in the district and is president of the @naacpbucks.bsky.social. When nothing did, “it’s a very hollow, empty feeling.”
