NYT Tomorrow: The assertion in our recent article that black people are more prone to violence was not a racial or genetic stereotype, but based on the reported experiences of six LAPD officers we surveyed at their retirement homes in Idaho

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

Canada's top military commander Jennie Carignan calls out the GOP for questioning women in combat: After 39 years as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify women's contribution to defense and service in their country...

Still can’t get over how many people on the right voluntarily went to bat for Matt Gaetz despite allegations of sex trafficking of a minor. Not only was it for nothing since the AG nomination failed… but now you’re forever on record advocating for an alleged statutory rapist.

Do you think if the report DIDNT say Matt Gaetz paid an underage girl for rape, the GOP would vote no on releasing?

Fascinating and important thread, especially because assuming it plays out this way (not sure it will be that simple considering the kind of fascist Trump is), people will find ways to downplay it.
One thing I think people talking about the threat of authoritarian creep have gotten, if not exactly wrong, not quite right either is to frame discussion in terms of various European precedents.
Those are relevant to be sure, but we also have an American precedent - namely the South before 1965.

They should take a straw poll of women working in the Capitol and ask if they feel safer around Sarah McBride or Matt Gaetz.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

There are no Republicans anymore in the party formerly known as GOP - it's a Trump MAGA party... they ousted the last old school Republicans. And to be honest, they are to be blamed - think the revered John McCain gave America Sarah Palin - arguably the first certificate idiot to be elevated...

When I say that the right is dominating the left on almost all platforms, this is what I mean. I hope Democratic officials take this into account every day. If you want an ecosystem that will advocate for YOU, then YOU need to help build it. Give interviews to creators, break news with creators...
