1) Virtually every liberal democracy in the world now has an antisemitism problem. We in the US already see it bleeding in from the edges, on the left and right. And for those on the left who say this is not antisemitism but moral revulsion against Israel, ask the Jews who’ve—

I'm one of the few Democrats I know who has consistently opposed scrapping the filibuster. For just the reason we're witnessing now. Yes, reform it to make it less obstructionist, make it a protest of last resort - but getting rid of it opens the door to tyranny. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In professions like law and the news, even the perception of conflict of interest is material. And the perception of Bari Weiss' conflict of interest mortally damages her in her new position. When even the Wall Street Journal agrees, she should know she's in trouble. www.wsj.com/opinion/bari...

This Christmas, perhaps we can all say a prayer for the immigrants languishing in ICE detention-cruelly separated from their families for months and forced to endure subhuman conditions At least 30 immigrants have died in custody this year-the most in over 20 years

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

"It's A Wonderful Life" isn't just a feel-good holiday classic (and my favorite movie of all time). It's also a warning about what happens when greed runs the economy.

It was obvious from the first week that DOGE was not simply a disaster, but a corrupt, cruel, and stupid disaster, killing millions across the globe, using govt power to go after Musk's enemies, and undermining US leadership in research and the sciences. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

Expect a "revolt" among 60 Minutes staff over Bari Weiss pulling the CECOT segment at the last minute, one network insider told me. Another CBS News reporter added that a Rubicon had been crossed with this decision, which 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi called "political" and not editorial.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

This aligns w/ recent research showing how Twitter (just prior to becoming X in early 2023) gave outsized visibility to content (via algorithmic recommendations) from politically right-leaning influencers. Influencers influence. And the right is algorithmically advantaged. arxiv.org/abs/2512.06129

It will only take a few Republican members of Congress to save us from the worst horrors of an imminent Vance presidency. Let’s hope his combination of odiousness and zero charisma allows them to find their spines.

Vance: "We believe in honoring your father and mother rather than shipping all their money off to Ukraine" A truly repulsive demagogue.

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care. My latest for Democracy Docket lays out the case. Sign up now to access this and all premium content. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Da Costa, an antisemite at 18, is 33 now, married to a Jew, raising her kids Jewish, and still must resign? Really? Apparently, cancel culture is alive and well, and how sad the ADL no longer recognizes that personal growth is one of the core teachings of Judaism. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/n...

Washington Post's new headline is still wrong. 1. The release was not "huge." 2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files. 3, No mention of extensive redactions. Support independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

This story on Sam Altman by @moreperfectunion.bsky.social is really well done and packed with solid information: youtu.be/l0K4XPu3Qhg?...

Any work made with AI - written, visual, audio - should be mandated by law to carry a disclaimer when published or sold. This will not infringe on free speech. AI companies can still spew their garbage, just as food companies can still use trans fats. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/o...

A sociopathic narcissist exploits tragedy/suffering of others to satisfy his dysfunctionally competitive, vindictive need to "win"....and to Self Aggrandize. In this one statement, Trump exhibits 7 of 9 symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and 6 of 7 for Anti-Social PD (sociopathy). 1/

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data. My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

@nytimes.com piece on how new corporate tax breaks will help the economy NEVER ONCE MENTIONS that 80% of Trump's 2017 corporate tax cuts went to stock buy-backs and dividends instead of the new investments breathlessly promised here. Did no one edit this piece? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/u...

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

It’s important to remember that Laura Ingraham went to Dartmouth. She’s not as stupid as she sounds. She’s just a shameless liar.

@nytimes.com says AI's no bubble without once asking what'll happen to the stock market when 20-30% of white-collar workers are fired in the next two years. Or when key automated systems fry or there are so many fake videos it's impossible to tell what's real. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/t...

The Texas Senate race was completely shaken up today. Crockett and Talarico are both great candidates who deserve our respect. Please support them both. Carrying Texas would be a miracle, especially given the gerrymandering of the House. Let's hope Texas Democrats choose the candidate who can win.

I use the word sparingly, but Sora is evil. Which means OpenAI and Sam Altman are evil. And plenty of others as well. AI intends no good for anyone but its progenitors. It is a nuclear bomb in the first milliseconds of detonation. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/b...

Definition of a Hobson's Choice: Netflix buys WB and brings us closer to the end of the 100-year Hollywood miracle, which put American values and culture at the center of the world. Paramount buys WB and brings us closer to a corrupt state media apparatus controlled by Donald Trump.

Some thoughts - First and foremost, prayers for Andrew Wolfe's recovery and for the family of Sarah Beckstrom. Second, the suspect must face justice and there must be an investigation to determine if any others are involved. Third, this criminal act must not be imputed to all Afghan refugees

Dynamic pricing algorithms are neoliberalism at its finest, a poison in the bloodstream of American society. Companies who use them should be boycotted and shamed, and lawmakers who don't stand up to their corporate overlords should be voted out of office. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/o...

THIS has aged very well.

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.

@nytimes.com says a prosecutor "SHREDDED THE CASE" against Trump, then reveals nothing more than 2029 is "too long to wait" and asking Raffensperger for 11,780 votes was "open to interpretation." In other words we are given no real idea why this case was dismissed. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Also another reminder that <10 people in Washington - all of whom are Republicans & all of whom keep getting total daily free passes from the media about their cowardice - could end most of the madness tomorrow by simply caucusing with the Democrats & giving them control of both the House & Senate.

Ken Burns' American Revolution is truly excellent. Amazing to see England's strategy of divide and conquer fail when Massachusetts stood up to oppression and the 12 other colonies rushed to its aid.
