1) Rarely disagree with Chait, but he’s dead wrong here. Healthcare will continue to dog the GOP because their imminent refusal to vote for subsidies will ignite rage across the country. And his support for ending the filibuster is incomprehensible. Does he not— www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

If you have a little Sunday time, here is a thought provoking conversation with political mind and author Gregg Hurwitz.

1) An entire generation of young people is being destroyed right now. They can't find jobs, they can't afford to have children, they will never be able to afford a house, their minds are being fried by social media. If we as a culture cannot rise up against the forces making--

New episode of THE RISING is up! Join us with great novelist and political mind Gregg Hurwitz for a deep conversation about what Democrats, and all Americans, must do to save our country. youtu.be/28iOIuZ7Pd0?...

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

1) Excellent piece by @sohrabahmari.bsky.social about one of many angry Gen Z voices. Truly amazing that the hold of neoliberalism over our culture is such that we are watching, seemingly powerless, as these young people's lives and futures are--

This sure is newsworthy. About as newsworthy as the sexual preferences of Axios CEO Jim VandeHei and Editor in Chief Mike Allen.

Bernie Sanders is a great American who wants the best for the American people. I wish he said the words below more often, because he clearly believes them: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/o...

Waiting to see what excuse the DOJ gives for dropping charges against Jack Smith before his trial begins.

Algorithms make us hate each other. Lies spread 6x faster than truth. Surveillance capitalists manipulate our beliefs. If we’re going to save America, it will REQUIRE dealing with the monetization of our attention. FDR talked about Freedom from Want. How about Freedom from Manipulation?

🚨POISONING Democracy Outrage is the business model. Attention is the drug. And we’re the product. Rep. Jake Auchincloss tells The Rising how to detox America. PRESS PLAY: youtu.be/0RsUJs4INGM?...

New episode of The Rising is up! Today we talk with the brilliant Jake Auchincloss, representative from MA, about how big tech is poisoning our children’s minds on social media - among many other important topics. youtu.be/0RsUJs4INGM?...

Waiting for one Democratic leader to admit, "Yeah, saying we should nuke the filibuster was a really bad idea." Should have been easy to see. Nuking the judicial filibuster is what got us a 6-3 SCOTUS.

It is breathtaking how much of what was painstakingly built up over 250 years has been destroyed in ten months. From the economy to civilian/military relations to our foreign alliances to the DOJ to civil rights and on and on.

In 2021, Jack Ciattarelli blamed Trump for the January 6th riot: “A very, very sad day in our nation’s history, and I do believe that the president’s rhetoric on that day, as that of Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell and L. Lin Wood, all contributed to that riot.”

AI slaughter of white-collar jobs has begun. These workers account for 65% of consumer spending: houses, cars, clothing, TV's, restaurants, on and on. Blind pursuit of short-term cost-cutting will propel us into a 2008-size recession, and the destruction of many lives. www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

Brilliant @nytopinion.nytimes.com piece by Kyla Scanlon, one of our best economic thinkers. The ultimate expression of neoliberalism is where the rich do all the gambling and everybody else takes on all the risk. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/26/o...

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

In one dismissive paragraph, Douthat exemplifies the right's embrace of authoritarianism. "Without much external consultation" and a "whiff of private-donor corruption" describe everything from ICE lawlessness to the most corrupt administration in American history. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/o...

It's ever incredible to me that all it would take is for a handful of people in Congress to stop pretending this is all fine and yet, nope. Survivalist nihilism is their north star.

You begin to sense that Trump and his cronies are so thoroughly destroying our national economic, political, moral, and social fabric that we will soon reach a point where America as a freedom-loving democracy is no longer fixable. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/o...

Fantastic video. Not just about Bernie, but about how out of touch with Americans both parties are. youtu.be/RP8Oxe6OxJc?...

Soybean farmers are most concerned about the President getting his ballroom. This is just common sense.

Trump's multi-pronged attack on free elections mirrors those of every modern dictatorship: gerrymandering, installing lying apparatchiks as election "security" overseers, threatening federal, even military, intervention in the elections themselves. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/u...

Reminder that we have a rogue president who disregards his oath of office, is an enemy of the Constitution, orders the murder of foreign nationals, and has partially demolished the White House.

On X - Tulsi, DOJ, Fox, & 100's of right wing propagandists trumpeting "new revelations" from the Durham investigation. Obama, Clinton, Biden implicated. Except even Grok says there's nothing new. An avalanche of lies. Don't like parallels to Germany, but 2025 is rhyming more and more with 1933.

I've seen this movie before. Jimmy Stewart starred in it. Graham Platner's character was named Jefferson Smith. And the more they try to bring him down the more I like him. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Like it or hate, this single paragraph defines where Democrats have to move if they ever want to be relevant again. Contrary to the rage merchants, this is the America we actually live in, and it's not so bad. Call it Common Sense and Common Decency: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/o...

Wonderful, thoughtful reactions to today’s new episode of The Rising. If we build an “insurgency of the sane,” a muscular, future-building Democratic vision based on core American values, the people will join us. Watch the conversation! youtu.be/_F5st-qqryI

Not world-ending that all cute animal videos must now be assumed to be fake. But why do that, why take all the pleasure away? And Sora is just a harbinger of what's to come. The next wave of fakeness will be FAR MORE damaging. AI is an unmitigated disaster. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/o...

I live in a small town outside of Portland, evenly split R and D. No Kings rally here was very large, folks of all ages. Deep love of country was palpable. Talked with a retired Navy officer. By no means a progressive, he was utterly disgusted with what Trump has done. Truth is going to prevail.

My assessment of Pritzker as presidential material just went up. JB Pritzker Won $1.4 Million Playing Blackjack in Las Vegas www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

What a corrupt nation America has become. Even the make-up of "the People's House" will no longer bear any relation to the will of the people who voted. The Supreme Court Case That Could Hand the House to Republicans www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

Voices like Mark Twain, Will Rogers, and Frank Capra always made clear Americans don’t bow to kings or authoritarians. Yet now millions have knelt to one. Millions of the rest of us, who love America, will be marching on Saturday beseeching our friends to remember who we were.

A leaked memo shows Trump is trying to deny furloughed federal employees the backpay they are legally entitled to after the government shutdown ends. This won’t be allowed to stand. And it’s because of a law he signed!
