from decades of experience I can tell you unequivocally that anytime a Republican or Libertarian says they are "removing regulatory uncertainty that hinders innovation" you're about to get fucked
Breaking News: The Senate passed a cryptocurrency bill, putting the once-fringe industry on the brink of a major policy breakthrough.
Senate Passes Cryptocurrency and Stablecoin Rules Bill
The bill was a significant step toward giving the cryptocurrency industry the credibility and legitimacy it has sought, without limitations it has worked to head off.

As a 52-year-old, I grew up with domestic right wing terrorist organizations threatening violence daily, and blowing up buildings and killing people periodically, throughout my whole political life: it was the anti-abortion movement.
The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it
I am wondering why Lisa Leher from the @nytimes.com did not discuss the data that suggests political violence in the US in the current era mostly comes from the right. Seems like a strange fact to ignore. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...

Then YOU show up. Make some flyers, talk to people, invite them to a meeting, set up coffee for a 1:1 to find out how they want to get more involved.

Up to 11M people participated in the No Kings protests yesterday. If you want to sit there as a leftist and dismiss it and every other day of action these last years that got millions of people to leave their house as “annoying lib shit,” thats your opportunity squander IMO.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*
Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!
Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions
Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

I think a good rule of thumb is if your preferred source of news referred to yesterday's protest as "tens of thousands" and not "millions", you need to find a different news source.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency.
The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

It’s amazing that in 2020 democrats swept federal elections, won a trifecta, swept many states, and had the opportunity for a true restoration of democracy (yes they squandered it). If that’s what the 2020 protests enabled … good?
to be clear: when they write "Democrats" they actually mean Third Way and a guy who was a Deputy Mayor 25 years ago

Why is germ theory in the same air quotes as "miasma theory," I ask as a historian of medicine who is very very tired
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.
