Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

Why is it that Haberman and other journalists at the Times can't tell us when Trump is lying because "nobody knows what's in his mind" or whatever excuse they always give but they can tell us when they think he believes his own bullshit?

popular anti-fascism as taxpayer revolt...might have some legs
Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

This. It is so dangerous, and so unavoidable because of the way we have built our communities, that we simply cannot allow ourselves to think about it. I always say, parents every day expose their kids to one of the leading causes of child death as a matter of routine.
Something not limited to Sean Duffy is how people will get into their cars and think nothing of the risk they face of death or injury, which is several orders of magnitude greater than your risk of being hurt on public transit. Driving a car is the most dangerous thing most people do each day.
Sean Duffy is having his daily pants-pissing session about public transit: "They force people into the subway, and the subway's not safe. If you're a liberal and you want people to ride the subway, make it safe. Take the crazy people out."
