What I learned from Prince and Muhammad Ali was that it’s possible to love yourself so much that everybody else does, too.

For years, advertising has been how Stereogum made money to pay its writers. While we made progress moving away from that model, Google AI search has decimated the business almost overnight. Today we relaunch with a greater focus on subscription. We’d love your support: stereogum.com/2478838/ster...

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.
I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

It's amazing that neither Schumer nor any of the eight turncoats can summon this rhetorical energy.
Do I trust them? No. That’s why I voted no. But they are in a terrible position, and we can use the next few weeks to turn the pressure up even further.

It’s very striking watching right-wing media try to react to Dean Fuleihan, because they haven’t been given their hateful talking points yet. Even the NY Post is just reciting facts, trying to buy time until they can figure out how to slander him in a way that will get people sending death threats.

This is a good time to remind people that the similarly overused less lethal weapon tear gas is super dangerous for pregnant people. Every politician that is antiabortion or proclaims wanting to protect children should be vehemently against use of these weapons as crowd control.

Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window.

After the Rubygems drama, I felt frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life.
I found myself mourning the future I thought we would have; but also hopeful that it’s not too late to start choosing kindness.

Threat of victory looms large over Election Day as an ominous portent of a future that could leave Dems in array; party elders scramble to contain the risk

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

Know this, @schumer.senate.gov — if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP aren’t being fed, we’re even more hungry for justice. New York has shown you the people’s power just days ago. You *could* join with us, still, and do the right thing.

This deal is a surrender. Two parties who say they care about high costs but none who will fight to deliver on it. Democrats fighting for affordable health care this past month was a huge boon to the brand and paid off in elections. If they reverse course now it will vanish—and they’ll deserve it.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
