Murphy on the shutdown cave: "Trump was showing signs of cracking. What did he do Wednesday? He called all Republicans to the WH & said, 'end the filibuster.' They basically told him no. His only play would have been to come to Ds to cut a deal, but we were so impatient we didn't even get there."

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Megyn Kelly is arguing that Epstein's victims were "barely legal" or "looked legal," so therefore he isn't a real pedophile.

Jacqueline Sweet: "I can confidently write that Jane looked so young that year that it would shock most. She did not look 18, or even 17, or 16. She looked like a child."

Noam Chomsky in 2023: "What was known about Jeffrey Epstein was that he had been convicted of a crime and had served his sentence. According to U.S. laws and norms, that yields a clean slate."

Even Les Wexner showed more remorse than this.

Renowned academic Noam Chomsky told The Wall Street Journal that his meetings with Jeffrey Epstein are "none of your business"
Noam Chomsky met multiple times with Jeffrey Epstein, long after a court ordered the disgraced financier to register as a sex offender.

I read Sartre's Antisemite and Jew (Réflexions sur la question juive) shortly after graduating high school. I had had some painful experiences with antisemitism and I was really struck by the argument that antisemites construct these imaginary tropes to support an entire discourse & worldview.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Defenders of the shutdown deal say that Republicans were never going to agree to extend expanded ACA subsidies and that the goal of the shutdown was to put a spotlight on this issue and make them pay a political price. Those goals were met. /1

We have lots of student notebooks containing sketches on anatomy, diseases etc, however, this one is by far our favourite. It shows Joseph Lister, father of antiseptic surgery, disappearing through a trapdoor after his lecture in Glasgow in 1868. Now that's how to make an exit!

Marshall knows how insurance works. This is about laying the groundwork for another attempt at destroying what's left of the ACA. The GOP thinks this argument will appeal to anti-establishment voters on the left and right who are young and healthy.
My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.
Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

I think this is why I have lost my appetite for gangster films and TV shows.
Went back to the history of the Sicilian Mafia to illustrate something obvious but worth stating explicitly: The Trump administration behaves like an organized crime syndicate running a protection racket, not a representative government www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

There is literally like infinity money going into solar and batteries.

Most of the fight being put up here is NIMBYism, culture warrior stuff, coal producers using the state, private/state utilities making things hard.

Like Trump just cancelled one of the biggest solar projects

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) actually told the press that Democrats would be the ones hurt most by losing SNAP.

To be fair, since he lives in Florida instead of the state he represents, maybe he doesn’t realize 752,000 Alabamians rely on SNAP—14.6% of the state’s population.

This is why I think Biden's strengths were more suited for Senate Majority Leader or Chief of Staff rather than President. Stuttering aside, he was not a good communicator as President.
The problem with Democrats in the Biden era wasn’t the content of the domestic policies, it was the total failure to sell them and to understand, manage, and master the media environment, especially social media.
This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.

The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

Trump is withholding funding that’s *already there* for SNAP. They’re using hunger as a political weapon by choice.

While federal Republicans willingly let kids go hungry, we passed $70M in the State Senate to do what we can.
