Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

In some ways the fact that Trump was able to imitate this criminal probe of the Fed is a bigger deal than the impulse itself. This isn’t just retaliation angst a foe like Comey or James. It’s a direct attack on key institution of the American Republic. As I said, it’s not a surprise but it shows …

Maybe the most fascinating belief among the billionaire class, especially the Silicon Valley set, has been their confidence that if they blow up the specific conditions and institutions that put them on top, they will certainly come out even higher on top

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

safe travels to bobby weir in the greater weirdness.

Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT: When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

For 248 years the streets of America didn’t feature a roving masked federal kidnapping squad that might send you a Central American death camp or just murder you themselves, but getting rid of it now is some impossible lefty fantasy that professional Democrats lamentably must struggle against.

It’s so funny the person who started “The Free Press” is now in charge of state TV.

Inside the federal government as Trump and DOGE pushed it past its breaking point in 2025, as told by some of the more than 1,200 federal workers @hannahnatanson.bsky.social and @merylkornfield.bsky.social have spoken to this year

Why is this tiny gesture so funny

"Nothing is more enervating, demoralizing or hopeless than being the upholders of the proprieties of a vanquished order. Simple rule-following or, even worse, norms-following is simply too thin a reed for any political movement or political party." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/towar...

Imagine naming your round-up-hardworking-brown-people operation after a story written by the same man who wrote this. Some pig, indeed.

Stop me if you've heard this before: If the NYT still had a public editor, that person would have official standing to ask, WTF??? They axed the public editor. So it's up to the rest of us to ask, unofficially, WTF???

I’m not a highly paid political consultant, but it seems to me that “Republicans showed that they’d rather starve children and risk planes falling from the sky than lower health care costs” is a better message than this.

Thoughts on Dems throwing a game they were winning. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...

Prescient

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

The public-facing side of American conservative politics more or less amounts to crashing out constantly about a bunch of shit that either you or the weird liars you listen to uncritically have made up. The non-public part, from what we've seen of the chat logs and such, is somehow much worse.

That World Series was wonderful and I'm heartsick for Toronto. What a great season. You guys were so good and so fun.
