it's fun how "it's already been reported elsewhere" can be an excuse for covering a thing that you want to cover OR an excuse for not covering a thing you don't want to cover
and by fun I mean "absolutely gutless"

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

Stats came out recently that 2024 had no major blockbuster films directed by a woman. I do not believe this is about the momentum of MeToo running out, this is about targeted backlash to women as a result of speaking up.
In the years after the Me Too movement, it seemed like there was finally an open forum to have urgent discussions on the prevalence of sexual violence on university campuses. But that momentum has faded with the pandemic, austerity, and rising conservatism.
What Happened to the Campus Me Too Movement? | The Local
Without enough brothers to fill their houses, some fraternities have begun renting rooms to non-students desperate for cheap rent. The results have been messy.

One key finding: while considering several petitions from oil companies in these climate cases over the past few years, Gorsuch bought and sold shares in energy sector funds that were largely or solely fossil fuel companies like Exxon, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips. He sold them off by end of 2024.

We must note that all the condemnation of Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes has been about anti-Semitism and there has been an alarming and revealing silence around his anti-Black racism and white supremacy. When the head of the Heritage Foundation apologized, he only cited anti-Semitism.

“Did women ruin the workplace?” is of course wildly misogynistic. But beyond that, this framing assumes the nostalgic version of “the workplace” was good and awesome and worth maintaining. I hope women have ruined the workplace. Let’s go, girls!

Please note this: Raising the "salience" of immigration actually worked in Dems' favor in one of the most important swing counties in the country. This is more grist for the idea that attacking Trump is succeeding among the nonwhite working class (see thread below).

This parenthetical is striking, given how often the Washington Post references Republican attacks on Democrats without noting their falsity.
Also striking since Democratic criticism of Project 2025 has aged much better than Republican and media critiques of that criticism.

Sorry for my lack of decorum, but couldn't The Times have waited a day before telling the uppity darkie to watch his tone and be grateful? Racist tone policing is no less toxic when its coded in the passive-aggressive voice.

This might be another reason to update your priors around the weakly supported claim that Trump's "they/them" commercials were decisive in 2024.
57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.
