I remember sharing that piece and the amount of pushback was large. Believing it was true meant accepting the world as we knew it would change. That’s scary

Yes. @normornstein.bsky.social and Thomas Mann wrote about it back in 2012 too. Josh described them as the ultimate establishment centrists and their stance as something we should take seriously. A lot of people were too invested in the status quo to think about this

I'm sorry, hang in there dude. We've all got a lot of work to do to beat back this darkness that has consumed our country. Tomorrow is a new day.

As always, great listen of @normornstein.bsky.social and @djrothkopf.bsky.social on “Words Matter” this week. Specifically, the need for House Dems to file articles of impeachment against Trump’s cabinet.

Nancy Mace: “I was attacked and run over by an organized gang of wine moms. I have internal bleeding and will probably never walk again.”

Here’s the thing — this has been going on for many months. (From @thebulwark.com )

This article is a must-read. It matches my own experience of seeing conservative judges go from often siding with trans plaintiffs prior to 2021 to being outwardly hostile. Judges don't live in a hermetically sealed chamber. They absorbed anti-trans propaganda. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Whenever I am bleeding internally after being hit by a car I keep filming on my cell phone while briskly walking away from the scene without waiting for medical attention. What about you guys?

You would think a network that paid out $787.5 million in a defamation suit would do a better job of training its personalities in defamation law.

BREAKING: Epstein survivors are calling for the DOJ acting inspector general to investigate the department’s handling of the release of the Epstein Files. The survivors say, “there has been a troubling pattern of selective redactions.”

One classy (and quick) thing Biden did: When a guy said "let's go Brandon" on a WH Christmas special, he said "Let's go Brandon, I agree" and kept talking to him. We don't have a king. You're allowed to talk shit to him! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETml...

Overnight, the sadistic Trump administration’s SAMHSA and RFK Jr canceled $2 billion nationwide in grants for youth mental health. Leaving kids facing mental health, crises or potential suicide in the lurch. There is no limit to their cruelty. Read this below.

We just had a week that changed everything, including my view of impeachment. Before: Wait until 2027.

It’s been one month since 100% of the Epstein files were due by Act of Congress. Thus far they’ve only released .6% of them and are using murder and war to distract you from this fact.
