Puzzling that the centrist pundits who are arguing for a "big tent" Democratic Party are the same people who spend all their time on social media attacking the left. The Venn diagram of these two groups is practically a circle.
Meanwhile, if you take Dems and subtract the left, you get 2000 and 2024

With the Epstein case, we either end up in a world where pedophilia, sexual assault of children, and human trafficking are endorsed by the United States of America, or we hold every single person involved in these heinous crimes accountable. It appears the Trump regime is trying hard for the former.

Centrist Democratic strategists have probably done more to prime voters to think of the Party as a vehicle for wokeism than anyone other than Trump or Fox News. And on very thin data that's not causal or predictive out of sample. The extent of the self-own is remarkable substack.com/@gelliottmor...

I can't stop thinking about that article about how people literally can't read because they're basically taught to guess over the last like two decades and like. It's really starting to make why people will respond aggressively, agreeing with what you said but convinced you said the opposite

X isn't popular in the greater scheme of things. It's active user base is relatively small. But the epistemic damage it's doing the communities still there is vast and, unfortunately, some of those communities are profoundly influential on the national discourse.

Unaffordable electricity is fast becoming a major source of insecurity in the U.S.
AI data centers are devouring power—and causing light bills to skyrocket—while private equity giants like Blackstone buy up utilities to extract maximum profit. This really needs to be a bigger story.

Eleven states and the District of Columbia have seen double digit increases in the cost of residential electricity over the last year.
In New Jersey, electricity costs are up over 20%.
In DC, that number is over 30%.

The right's obsession with SNAP recipients buying popsicles is a modern version of a centuries-old tradition of scolding the poor for what they eat. It mimics verbatim Victorian complaints about the poor indulging in tea and sugar, mistaking consumption as a cause of poverty instead of a symptom.
