I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*)

The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

It's probably true that the human brain isn't evolved to handle social media, but I think it helps if you envision yourself as a sort of beloved local knave, modestly dining out on your little japes and stories, rather than as a rebel king collecting banners for your bloody campaign for the throne

This is torture. The US is torturing children. Children whose words and whose art contain infinitely more humanity than the people keeping them detained.

👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it.

I get this, but here's where I'm at:

Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us.
Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hates—first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of color—& I'm gonna root for them.
I really really want these athletes to have a great experience, be competitive and perhaps win a gold medal, but, honestly, the thought of hearing "USA!USA!USA!" during their games kinda makes me cringe. If we were any other country the IOC would ask us to march under the olympic flag.

Daily reminder for @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

RESIGN.
@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

RESIGN. DON'T BE IN A LEADERSHIP ROLE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LEAD.

You are simply not the leaders we need in this moment. Why are you clinging on to a leadership role when you clearly do not want to lead?

Where we are:
1. With the action in GA, the FBI has been mobilized as part of the plan to steal the 2028 election. And the DNI being on the scene is beyond ominous.
2. After bring chaos and illegality and killings to MN, the ICE assault on that city and others will continue with minimal changes.

Huge scandal that Minneapolis has been crawling with terrorists this whole time. They've been living among us undercover as poets and nurses. And would've continued to, had it not been for the work of our bravest child kidnappers

My favorite sports teams all have rivals in Minnesota. I will now, and forever more, be cheering for all Minnesota sports teams because these people are so god damn inspiring and they deserve happiness

Yesterday a reporter asked me for comment about Minneapolis’ opposition to ICE. I got kind of worked up and sent way more than I should have. The piece is great—it’s in my prior post. But I wanted post my comments in full here:
