A few years ago, The National’s Matt Berninger was stuck — writer’s block.

“I started getting depressed by notebooks.” So he wrote on the baseball instead.

The writer Mary Cantwell wouldn’t live anywhere but in the West Village. She bounced from rental to rental before taking a risk on a former horse stable.

After practice today, I asked Natasha Cloud about Trump’s callous rhetoric directed towards Zohran Mamdani in the days since Zohran’s Democratic mayoral primary win here in NYC. As always, Tash spoke with compassion, with urgency, with morality.

This is critical reporting from ProPublica and I’ll have more context at my newsletter, Abortion, Every Day.

CAAA-CAWWWW!

More words coming soon but needed to get that analysis out

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

They tried to burn a US governor and his family and the president of the United States has said nothing.

The White Lotus finale was bad and should feel bad:

Republicans in Congress can join Democrats right now to turn off the bogus emergency Trump has declared to impose worldwide tariffs.

Or they can continue to bend the knee to Trump.

Mook!

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
