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.

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

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🤔

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.

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.
Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

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.

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
Asked why he hasn't endorsed Zohran Mamdani, Hakeem Jeffries replies: "I'm going to make that decision on an individual basis, consulting with other members of the congressional delegation and beyond."

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 just in from Sinclair: "Beginning Tuesday night Sinclair will be preempting 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show's potential return."
