the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.

No matter who you voted for, you should know that last night Republican members of Congress voted for a budget that kicks nearly 14 million Americans off their health care while giving billionaires a tax break.

Anytime Dems run a campaign like they did in the past, we get crushed. The “experts”are people who ran insurgent campaigns that no one thought would be successful. Carville? Plouffe? They each won once and not again. David Hogg is right - innovate and purge the old, stale ways

Now we know Chuck Schumer isn’t the leader for this moment. It was suspected before, but we’re sure of it now. Senate Dems should have a moment of reconsideration and emerge with a new leader now

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

I don't know if she's doing this cynically or naively and I don't particularly care, but it's remarkable how much of American intellectual life has become a litany of powerful people having the same epiphany over and over but refusing to do anything about it.

So Mitch McConnell won't be seeking re-election next year.
Good riddance.
He and Merrick Garland share much of the blame for this neo-fascistic second Trump term.

I missed this earlier today: one of Michigan’s two Republican justices announced her retirement today. Gretchen Whitmer will appoint her replacement.
That will likely bring Democrats’ majority on this key court to 6-1.
