People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

I did, however, create Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and uncompromisingly pro-democracy. Subscribe now for free. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe/
If I ran MSNBC, I would:
1. Make the @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social a daily show;
2. Give @mollyjongfast.bsky.social a daily show; and
3. Beg @nicollewallace.bsky.social to add another hour.
But, I don't run MSNBC.

I realize I am not qualified for a cabinet position. No sexual assaults. No sex trafficking. I’ve never shilled for Putin or Assad. I haven’t helped persuade people to kill kids by leaving them unvaccinated. And I haven’t declassified information for purely political reasons. I feel inadequate.

Whether it's Tim Walz expanding his state's school lunch program or Matt Gaetz giving cocaine and Ecstasy to underage sex workers, both sides have taken controversial approaches to feeding children.

As the mom of a trans kid, I’d ask that you think about the fact that when you blame support for trans people for the loss of the election - instead of the hate fomented by the $143 million spent on anti-trans ads - you endanger the safety of a whole bunch of innocent people.

Other polls, including Times/Siena, have already shown Trump’s undeserved advantage on the economy narrowing. But this, from the FT, is stunning — and a big vindication for Team Vibecession.

So, even though I’ve been arguing for rate cuts — 50 in September for sure — I wasn’t calling for an inter-meeting cut, because that might signal panic.
But since we may be seeing a panic anyway, that argument loses its force. Real case for an emergency cut soon.

The Fed has been berated for being slow to raise rates in the face of rising inflation. But its passivity in the face of falling inflation has gone on longer, and may do much more harm
