"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Largely the premise of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, one of the most beloved movies ever made.

it’s important to understand that Nate Silver’s entire consciousness is filtered through the lens of being a gross nerd his entire life. the opportunity to feel like he’s one of the cool kids is something he can’t pass up, it’s load-bearing for his dork psyche.

BREAKING: We won! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

Assuming that everyone who works at a place not just agrees with but supports everything that organization does is a great example of Twelve Year Old Thought

OH MY GOD WHY DO YOU CARE????

Giving Trump whatever he wants but shaking my head so people know I'm not happy about it bsky.app/profile/atru...

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

They’re gonna send Stephen Miller out to do a full-on Grinch on SNAP recipients, snatching up cans of Hoo hash and whatnot.

Nevada County is so underrated 😍

every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Look I get publishing a broad spectrum of opinions but I already fed them this morning

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

too big to fail speedrun

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

None of what Trump is doing is popular and voters are telling us that

Republicans who think your seat is safe: no it's not

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

OK. Let's fucking go. Kat next.

Honestly this might be the first time I’ve been hopeful in 364 days 🥹

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

permission to lib out your honor

Dick Cheney would have loved this

[Exit Clown.]

Blah blah blah men…Young women are ready to set the country on fire

I understand that there are regional differences (and ultimately, it really doesn't matter!) but my god, how my eye twitches every time I see "on line" instead of "in line"

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

the first muslim woman being elected to statewide office (in any state!) the day dick cheney died is beautiful

BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty. “They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

Mamdani already moving the needle on sex offenders, you love to see it

Nothing zaps the joy out of journalism quite like the business of journalism.

I want to know which niche set of voters was leaning Mamdami but will now vote for Cuomo because of Trump's endorsement... feels less like a horseshoe than one of those bloated rainbow-dyed jumbo pretzels from Coney Island

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

This is good. On the linguistic roots why, people say Mandami and why it's not just linguistics (i.e. the impulse is linguistic but at this point for certain people it's deliberate)

Feel like, as a society, we might consider moving Halloween to the last Friday in October (observed.) Vibes truly immaculate tonight.

The MAGA luminaries keep quoting Spengler, Schmitt, and other figures from Germany’s conservative revolution, but the NYT opinion page acts like all of this revolutionary fervor just came from the left. Why? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/o...

A 61-year-old Tennessee man posted a liberal meme on Facebook after Charlie Kirk's death. A conservative sheriff had him arrested. Bail was set at $2 million. He spent nearly 40 days in jail before charges were dropped. Now he's planning to sue. Our story: www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

I genuinely thought I'd lost my capacity to be shocked by these people. Turns out I was wrong!

"go to TikTok. See for yourself."

One of my favorite coworkers is retiring-- a man of sound (and sometimes strongly worded) editorial judgement, who is always happy to chat about weather, politics, birds, transit, infrastructure, fish... I'm going to miss working with you @danbrekke.bsky.social ! www.kqed.org/news/1206213...

Sacramento’s Facebook marketplace is absolutely wildin

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

People (journalists) have been talking about this for months, I don’t know what to tell you lol.

My weighted blanket just isn’t heavy enough. I need to be crushed like Giles Corey.
