This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

For folks (and journalists) who want to search the Oversight Committee email texts, I made a database for searching the 20k text files: splendorous-chaja-f79791.netlify.app

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Helpful tracker!

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

this strange feeling you're experiencing this morning is optimism. hang on to it, we've got a long road ahead to the midterms next year, this is what will get you there.

The Dems are a big tent coalition. Whether you're a communist who hates Republicans or a centrist who hates Republicans, you can be part of a united party.

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

lot of messages tonight...but i don't think there's any as strong or replicable as having an identity, an ideology, and a clear message for people and then staying, without ever wavering: "I refuse to apologize for any of this."

the sort of headline we're seeing all over: www.syracuse.com/politics/cny...

It is gonna be so funny watching the NYC bajillionaires scramble to get appointments with Mayor Mamdani after they all insisted they were gonna move to Florida if he won. First of all, most of you already have places in FL and claim it as your primary resident so you don’t have to pay NYC taxes

Just want to see one (1) news story on how toxic the Republican brand is among average, everyday Northeast urbanites, and how that should be seen as a major crisis for Republicans. Unfortunately I won’t bc this is still a country where cows and empty land get strong political representation

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.

one thing that other candidates need to learn from mamdani is how to deliver the most cold blooded attacks on an opponent with a smile on your face

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

Maybe dumping poop on voters from an airplane is not a surefire electoral strategy

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Hey looka here: a pretty good argument that these people can easily afford to pay some more taxes.

my friend’s housemate, an Afghani with an asylum case, was taken by ICE there is a petition for his release that emails the ICE field office responsible. please sign and boost humanrightsfirst.quorum.us/campaign/Fre...

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

Yes, senate republicans, Mueller, McConnell, Roberts — they were all complicit. But Biden and Garland were supposed to be the good guys. To save the soul of America. To uphold justice no matter what. And this is what they did with their 4 years. This is their legacy.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

🚨BREAKING🚨: Portland Frog receives Nobel Peace Prize.

wizard frog is insane

He said, “We have a much more collective culture. The U.S. is a more individualistic society. Your constitution is founded on the ideals of ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’ Our version of that is ‘peace, order and good government.’”

Good to see this idea gaining more traction, but man if only more Democrats had recognized the value of a “Bernie-in-2016 campaign” in 2016.

"The sheer number of American elites willing to acquiesce to the destruction of democratic institutions is demoralizing. But it’s worth noting that many ordinary people seem to be made of sterner stuff." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

If only we’d known in 2015 that we could just turn off the escalator.

CHOTINER: And when was that? MY CAT: I mean at least 14 hours ago CHOTINER: Well hold on. You're telling me you haven't been fed at all today but if I look in your bowl here I see a- MY CAT: An untouched serving, I know, but if you'd let me finish- CHOTINER: Yeah, of course.

Compelling piece from @adambonica.bsky.social. It's bad that voters think both Dems and GOP are corrupt. I think there's something to a "clean house" brand refresh for the Dems. But I suspect outsiders are going to have to do the refreshing. data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-democr...

It’s darkly funny that the search for the shooter’s politics never provided much clarity about *his* politics but brought the politics of a lot of powerful people into sharp relief.

I know it's easy to give up on a day like this, but just remember: Chuck Schumer is out there Monday to Thursday, literally a couple of hours each day, making sure your healthcare bills are partially subsidized for a slightly longer window than previously anticipated

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Obviously, there's bigger news happening right now, but Senate Republicans just voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every Democrat voted to release them. Susan Collins was the deciding vote to protect Trump and others named in the files.

Welcome to CBS News with Bari Weiss; I’m Bari Weiss. The top story tonight is that my maverick opinions are being silenced by the woke left

The bank app is telling me to "tap & pay like a boss😏" and "rally my crew". I am 37 years old and you are the bank. Don't talk to me this way.

I wrote a piece about status and ambition.

If I ran one of the New York City tabloids this would be my headline

I appreciate how Zohran Mamdani treats Cuomo like an enemy to defeat instead of a 'respected colleague' the way democrats campaign against their opponents "Andrew Cuomo is a sex offender who murdered the elderly at the request of his donors" yes indeed, more like this please!

It’s not you; it’s not a personal flaw!! New York City Companies All but Stopped Hiring in First Half of the Year www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/n...

My view on a recent spring day and today, from the same spot

Finally, a united nation.

Worth remembering: The Constitution explicitly gives the power to set tariffs to Congress. They could stop this nonsense by the end of the day.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

New motto for all reporters at WH "briefings" or questioning Trump: WWJPD? What Would Jerome Powell Do, in face of relentless lies from Trump and his minions?

Powell pulled the close-to-retirement-career-teacher move on Trump right here. The quiet, steady “no”.

Bribes work!
