The *vibe* of the new publication is clearly “we are here to defend liberalism against its leftwing assailants.”
Launching that sort of publication in summer 2025 is, let’s just say, *A CHOICE*.
There is an evergreen market for that sort of writing. You will never go broke writing this stuff.

Criticizing Democrats from the left does not reinforce right wing arguments. (indeed, fwiw, it makes Democrats seem more moderate!)
Criticizing Democrats from the right reinforces MAGA criticism.

We are in a separation of powers conflict and the branch being held down needs to get on its horse and use every political tool possible to reassert its power.
CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.
CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

This scandal cannot simply be brushed aside. Americans deserved to know the true reason for the initial closure and why the FAA and Pentagon are seemingly still struggling to communicate over a year after the deadly DCA crash that took 67 lives.

Dems need to press for complete transparency and demand the chairs of relevant House and Senates committees conduct real oversight.
But, thus far, @cantwell.senate.gov, ranking member of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee has been silent. Here's the House Dems statement ⬇️

Late last night, the FAA abruptly announced a 10-day closure of the El Paso airspace. Mere hours later, the decision was reversed. Now, we have competing stories about what really happened.
The administration's incompetence is once again interrupting people lives. Congress must investigate.

Brutal 2025 number.
And for context, the 130,000 for last month (also subject to revision), would have been considered an absolutely crap number under Biden, who averaged 336,000 per month over his term.

As expected, the annual benchmark revisions sharply lowered estimates of job growth in earlier months. BLS now says we added just 181,000 jobs in 2025, down from the earlier estimate of 584,000. #NumbersDay
