Trying to force a protégé to sleep with him is the least of Larry Summers sins. I’ve been hunting this toxic asset for three decades, and his victims number in the millions. No kidding. #LarrySummers #EpsteinFiles gregpalastinvestigates.substack.com/p/the-sins-o...
The sins of Summers go way beyond Epstein

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

Apparently the New Yorker hired Arthur H. Cartwright, Children's Theatre Critic to write their review of Wicked: For Good. Petty with a dilettante's knowledge of the original source material. More in the comments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kF-...

But, Atrios, Why Are You Focused On Larry Summers?
Because the man has infested "Democratic" circles for decades, despite being a horribly corrupt conservative bigoted asshole responsible for numerous catastrophic decisions. But, Atrios, isn't that all in the past?  Wasn't he rejected by Biden for any prominent role? Lawrence H. Summers is a distinguished senior fellow at American Progress. Yes Larry has plenty of Dem detractors, but the way of dealing with him for years was to keep giving him fancy titles in hopes of keeping him on board instead of just booting him into the sun.  This has never worked, just empowered him to wreck this.

Such beautiful news from the Emerald City, where @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social personifies the emerging young Democratic wave. Lucky Seattle!

JUST IN: Katie Wilson significantly extends her lead in the Seattle mayoral race.

She now leads Mayor Bruce Harrell by 1,346 votes, or 0.5%.

That's up from the squeaker-lead of 91 votes in yesterday's update). She won today's batch of nearly 6K ballots by 20% (!).

Not much left at this point.

SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

The exciting talent @katiewilson.bsky.social has taken a narrow lead as ballots are still being counted in the Seattle mayoral race.
If you want a sense of why this is very cool news, here's something of mine from earlier this fall

Trump will say that now “even the Democrats agree” with him and he was “right all along.” Over a month of brutal pain was inflicted on the American people, and now he’ll claim it was “all the Democrats’ fault” and “they finally came to their senses.”

For all the folks out there that are snarking on Rama, remember good old white folks of Pawnee, Indiana put Sarah Nelson Quindle out on an iceberg for showing her elbows. So “Hush” on Mamdani imposing Chaka Khan law.

I teach at a New Jersey College. Today in class I told my students, "If you were unable to vote today because of the terrorist bomb threats, leave now and go vote. They made these threats because they hate Black and Latino people having freedom. Don't let the terrorists win."

Genuinely Poor

Reposting because I've added a kicker panel. Thanks to @schraubd.bsky.social for the suggestion!

Read more cartoons! #PoliCartoon
Help us make more! patreon.com/barry
TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has four panels. Each panel shows two men: A not-wealthy looking man with shaggy hair and some stubble, and a bald man in glasses, wearing a business suit and tie. Each panel shows them at a sidewalk with grass growing in the background. PANEL 1 Shaggy is wearing a wrinkled collared shirt and jeans. Necktie is wearing a gray suit with a tie with a dot pattern. It’s bright daytime. Shaggy, with his back turned to Necktie, is looking at and poking a smartphone, and, in the helpful way people so often do in the first panel of my cartoons, talking aloud to himself. Necktie is turning to look at, and yell at, Shaggy. SHAGGY: I can’t find a job and I’m out of money… Time to google “food stamps.” NECKTIE: Food stamps are for people who are genuinely poor. If you were poor, you wouldn’t own a smartphone, would you? PANEL 2 A caption says “one week later.” From the light, it appears to be early evening. Shaggy is wearing a plaid shirt and Black pants, and has a backpack; Necktie is wearing a pinstripe suit and a tie with horizontal stripes. Shaggy is looking worried and has a hand on his chest; Necktie is sternly talking to, and pointing at, Shaggy. SHAGGY: I sold my phone, but now I’m out of money again. NECKTIE: So sell your car. No one who owns a car is poor. PANEL 3 A caption says “one month later.” The same two men, on a similar patch of sidewalk. Shaggy is sitting on the curb, slumping. Necktie looks very cheerful. SHAGGY: Now I’ve got no money for food, no phone for job hunting, and no car to get to a job! NECKTIE: Excellent! Now you’re genuinely poor! PANEL 4 The same scene, a moment later. Shaggy, looking hopeful. Necktie grins. SHAGGY: So now you’re okay with me getting food stamps? NECKTIE: Nope! TINY KICKER PANEL UNDER THE CARTOON Shaggy is talking to Barry the Cartoonist. SHAGGY: So how do I get food stamps, anyway? BARRY: Call them for an appointment, then drive to their office to apply.
