I sure wish we didn’t have to, as a country, touch the stove every few years to remember that it’s hot.

The most important lesson for Democrats from Mamdani's victory is this: abandon the decades-old practice of triangulating to win the center. Instead, grow the base with a positive, joyful vision for what government can do when it gives up on being shackled to a Republican base.

The Virginia Mercury arranged interviews with both gubernatorial candidates. The Republican nominee did the same thing she always does: failed to show, without explanation, and then stopped answering emails or phone calls. Earle-Sears is wildly out of her depth. virginiamercury.com/2025/09/08/o...

It's pretty good but a little repetitive - he starts every show with hay guise

Poor states are poor because they elect Republicans—it’s not that they elect Republicans because they’re poor. Here we see that in action.
"Democratic-led states and select blue-leaning cities fought back in court and saw money for public health efforts restored — while GOP-led states sustained big losses."
Blue States That Sued Kept Most CDC Grants, While Red States Feel Brunt of Trump Clawbacks - KFF Health News
The Trump administration's cuts of public health funds to state and local health departments had vastly uneven effects depending on the political leanings of where someone lives, a new KFF Health News...

Everyone who runs an LLM loves that they get to be the architect of entire human realities, but they love it secretly because they know how dystopian it is.

This is what it is, along with a financial incentive to play up anecdotes for the algorithm. For a lot of Americans, their feeds both locally and nationally have turned into Best Of Liveleak, an outgrowth of a political project Musk and Congressional Republicans have wanted for years.
I keep seeing the media say crime is down but people feel like it is up without mentioning the role of phone notifications and social media like Nextdoor, Ring Alerts, and Facebook Groups that not only make people more aware of any crime nearby they wouldn’t have known about in the past… (1/3)

I can’t say it enough: U.S. culture is scam culture. It pervades everything we do. We don’t notice it because it’s the water we swim in. A party would do well to remind everybody how awful this is and propose to fix it.
I think Democrats should offer voters a broadly defined anti-fraud platform. Yes, obviously, start with Trump’s influence peddling, but don’t stop there. Online fraud is massive, almost every phone call you get is a scam, and the solution has to be federal or it just won’t work.
Still, more than 7-in-10 U.S. adults have been a victim of an online scam or attack like credit card fraud, ransomware or online shopping scams. www.pewresearch.org/...
