For years MAGA folk have been yelling at Democrats to define what is a “woman”.
Next time one of them asks this the only response should be to ask them to define what a child is.

The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.

All I can say is I attended a Democratic Party event in DALLAS, TEXAS 10 days ago with officials and candidates and the biggest cheers were for Mamdani and the most questions/most frequent topic of conversation was Epstein.
We should not overthink this.

Pundits have said Zohran is a strictly-NYC phenomenon. But a DSA member named Kelsea Bond just got elected to the Atlanta City Council. I talked to her about how she won.

People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.
I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

You can think it’s good that Massie and MTG are stirring up shit within the GOP caucus without thinking their politics in general is good. It’s not hard at all in fact?

I think based on everything we know people are underestimating the possibility that Larry Summers deliberately sabotaged Obama rather than shot down a larger stimulus out of stupidity.

The Republican coalition fracturing is significant *right now*, because every blow to Trump's credibility weakens his hold on the GOP and increases the odds of a party revolt. But it's important not to conflate what benefits Democrats (and America) *now* with what will matter most in 2026 and 2028.
I'm not trying to be mean, but racists who believe Trump betrayed them by being a child molester are not going to embrace the Democratic Party without forcing that party to embrace racism. And the people gained would in no way make up for those lost.

It is absolutely insane that "the GOP regularly wins supermajorities in the Deep South because white southerners reliably vote for the GOP at a rate outstripping any other demographic" is consistently taken as morally normative, instead of a simple descriptive statement.

E.g. on point 1: the consultant class fondly remembers the "6 for '06" plan of moderate policy ideas Dems ran on in their successful 2006 midterm campaign. But what actually caused the bottom to fall out of GOP polling was the Mark Foley scandal in September which has been basically memory-holed
1. Scandal politics win elections pretty often.
2. THIS scandal divides the GOP more than affordability or really anything.
3. If Dems want to win the fight (pry the files loose, rather than give up after Trump says no) they need to make a referendum out of it. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.
