Anyone saying the Democrats got their wallets inspected on the vote is, frankly, being either stupid or a wrecker, or both. The GOP flipped their own people. The Dems got their own reps back into the chamber, at least one limping out of a hospital bed, another with her newborn, and they were united.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

And a third piece today: The NYT Style section declared this the year in which "medieval" was in. @profgabriele.com and I talk at @slate.bsky.social about what we think that means.
More peasant revolt. Less King Arthur.

Every Era Has Its Own Way of Thinking About the Middle Ages. Here’s 2025’s.
Tapestries, stone walls, chain mail, crossbows. This era’s medieval mashup has it all.

please stop spending every moment trying to argue why trumps picks are terrible and start thinking about what you’ll personally do when they start doing all the things you think they can’t technically do

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.

It's the end (for many of us) of the work week. The work is big right now. The world is heavy right now. I won't say Happy Friday, but I wish us all snuggles and trash TV and the cool side of the pillow this weekend.
