He pulled this bullshit in 2016, too, as if being a gay married father was somehow magically no longer an “identity.” Big “I got mine” energy.
Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25

Literally EVERYTHING the Trump admin does is about identity, it's just a white male Christian identity. Democrats don't talk about identity more than Republicans to, we just have the gall to include OTHER IDENTITIES.
This whole debate is stupid and I'm annoyed Buttigieg is engaging with it.

What is so terribly broken about the Democratic policy world that anyone thought tapping *Larry Summers* for future economic policy was a reasonable thing to do, rather than completely unhinged?
NEW: Before the recent Epstein disclosures, Larry Summers was poised to lead the economic policy plank for the Democrats' "Project 2029" effort at the Center for American Progress. He signed off on a housing policy paper CAP was prepping for next week.

Just saw the terrible news that US Bishops just banned gender affirming care at Catholic hospitals.
A reminder, from the reproductive justice front - For a lot of people, Catholic hospitals are their only option. Even places where they aren't, they sometimes set standard of care.

"This could take down Democrats, too."

With all these crooks lining up to smear ibuprofen and acetaminophen, I can only assume that they have all invested in some new miracle painkiller that will be approved any day now.
So when the new miracle painkiller is announced, uh, don't take it.

I remember SMART WOMEN defending Larry Summers back in the day like we were all just too sensitive.
I hope the people who thought Larry Summers was done wrong in '05 can see him here 12 years later still deriding women's intelligence in lighthearted banter with his friend Jeff, the world's most notorious sex trafficker. That's men's intelligence I guess.
Here's the full Summers email, btw.
