Hey look! I have a novel coming out next spring. And some smart people I know think it's actually good! Like @kurtandersen.bsky.social and @mollyjongfast.bsky.social and @josephoneill.bsky.social and Ron Rosenbaum. You should order it today!

New Column: Seriously. Who on earth fell for his b.s.? newrepublic.com/post/204349/... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: On the way out? Did more damage to this country in 10 months than almost anyone I can think of. newrepublic.com/article/2040... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: It took a village of cowards and weenies to make a man like Pete Hegseth defense secretary. newrepublic.com/post/204017/... via @newrepublic.com

NEWS: @adamsmith.house.gov speaks to @gregsargent.bsky.social about deets of today's military briefing on Sept. 2 vessel attack. newrepublic.com/article/2039... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: New Column: Common-sense Americans do not want another immigration crackdown or a war with Venezuela. Trump and his rich Mar-a-Lago pals are out of touch with America. newrepublic.com/article/2037... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: This was just a horrible week for a horrible president and his horrible Cabinet, doing horribly corrupt and/or incompetent things. newrepublic.com/article/2037... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: Most of this column is a very interesting (to me!) explanation of why Trump has succeeded in politics: because he lies constantly, and lying is actually rewarded in our culture, at least the way he does it. newrepublic.com/article/2035... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: A call for the execution of six legislators didn't even merit a front-page story in the @nytimes.com. What does Trump have to do to get the mainstream media to say, "OK, this finally crosses the line"? newrepublic.com/post/203507/... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: We're going to be hearing--and learning--a lot more about this fellow in the coming weeks and months. Who is Jay Clayton, and will he do Trump's and Bondi's bidding? Read on. newrepublic.com/article/2032... via @newrepublic.com

NewColumn: He is in panic mode. Could it be that he's hiding something? newrepublic.com/post/203207/... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: OK, this can't go on forever? But why cave NOW? Really politically tone deaf. newrepublic.com/article/2029... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: Scandal swallowed nearly every NYC mayor I covered. Here's what Mamdani needs to do to make sure it doesn't happen to him. newrepublic.com/post/202875/... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: A clear majority of America hates this guy. The voters' verdict is in. He's failing, and Democrats need to keep saying it and saying it and saying it. newrepublic.com/article/2027... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: Chew on this. The nation's capital, one of the most Democratic cities in America, no longer has a liberal newspaper. The techbro takeover of the mainstream media is a crisis rich liberals must wake up and address. newrepublic.com/article/2025... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: These are such wretched, mean people. newrepublic.com/post/202518/... via @newrepublic.com

It's about damn time! Very interesting from @perrybaconjr.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2023... via @newrepublic.com

Important piece from @gregsargent.bsky.social Read it! newrepublic.com/article/2023... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: Why do I utterly detest the left v. center debate? Cuz some Democrats would rather argue among themselves than fight Trump. newrepublic.com/article/2022... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: Tearing down the East Wing was arguably only the 3rd worst thing he did this week. And what can we do about it? Alas, not much. Here's why. newrepublic.com/post/202227/... via @newrepublic.com

Traditionally, the Detroit Lions always had perfectly nice uniforms. What are they up to these days? They're changing their wardrobe more often than Cher.

If you're surprised about what he's doing to the East Wing, Google "Trump Bonwit Teller building"

New Column: His remarks about these rallies have been disgraceful. He is a total coward. newrepublic.com/article/2019... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: The people who actually love this country will be out protesting tomorrow. James Madison would wholeheartedly agree. newrepublic.com/post/201921/... via @newrepublic.com

Here, @gregsargent.bsky.social talks with Rep. Adam Smith, ranking Dem on Armed Services, about Admiral Holsey's very-big-deal resignation. newrepublic.com/article/2019... via @newrepublic.com

I announce the @newrepublic.com's November cover story with pride: @bedoyausa.bsky.social (former FTC commish Alvaro Bedoya; worked for @linamkhan.bsky.social and fired by DJ Trump) with a wonderful personal essay on what he learned at the FTC and lessons for Dems: newrepublic.com/article/2011...

Bonus Tomasky column: The three thoughts Trump foes should take away from today's news. newrepublic.com/article/2016... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: Portland is not burning. Not remotely. It's unconscionable what Trump & co. are saying. newrepublic.com/article/2016... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: You know how some historians wonder if people recognize the onslaught in real time? Well, I'm here to tell you that millions of us do. And we're fighting it. newrepublic.com/post/201625/... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: Democrats actually have a strong hand to play here, if they're willing to do it. If if if... newrepublic.com/article/2013... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: You had to be a fool not to know Trump was lying about Project 2025 last year. But now that he's embraced it, the Dems must tee off on him. newrepublic.com/post/201330/... via @newrepublic.com

From @perrybaconjr.bsky.social in the @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2010... via @newrepublic.com

New column: This indictment is the worst thing yet. The fact that it's a weak indictment doesn't make it any better. newrepublic.com/article/2009... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: These orders to Bondi definitely cross the Rubicon. newrepublic.com/article/2007... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: Sure, he's "just an entertainer." But here's why the Jimmy Kimmel story is such a huge deal. newrepublic.com/post/200692/... via @newrepublic.com

And now, @gregsargent.bsky.social quotes the lone Dem FCC commish as suggesting that Chair Brendan Carr's action may have been illegal. newrepublic.com/article/2006... via @newrepublic.com

Here, @perrybaconjr.bsky.social on the ominous stakes of the Kimmel move in the @newrepublic.com. newrepublic.com/article/2006... via @newrepublic.com

Thank you! Look forward.

New Column: Healthcare subsidies are important, sure. But while Trump is using the exec branch to establish a dictatorship, that's really the congressional Democrats' focus? newrepublic.com/article/2004... via @newrepublic.com

It's time to prevent Trump and Republicans from arbitrarily ending spending that was already appropriated by Congress. trib.al/Mbvy493

New Column: They're using this tragedy to try to make a more authoritarian state; turn blunt criticism into incitement to violence and even terrorism. newrepublic.com/post/200386/... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: Failure on the world stage, so he takes it out on the cities where he got 15% of the vote. newrepublic.com/article/2000... via @newrepublic.com

The president of the United States literally announces he's going to start a war AGAINST AN AMERICAN CITY. And I wake up this morning, and it's a minor headline on the @nytimes.com home page, and at @washingtonpost.com, I don't see it anywhere on the homepage.

New Column: Soon enough, the network of Edward R. Murrow will belong to the right wing. Wake up, rich liberals, and do something about this. newrepublic.com/post/200042/... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: Trump's second-term record on guns is even worse than you think. newrepublic.com/post/199838/... via @newrepublic.com

More heat from @gregsargent.bsky.social in the @newrepublic.com about the morgage witch hunt, which should be a big scandal. newrepublic.com/article/1996... via @newrepublic.com

I've already heard from some people who told me this piece by @jo-ann.bsky.social (Jo-Ann Mort) for the @newrepublic.com really captures the mood there. newrepublic.com/article/1995... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: Yes, there were no murders last week. "Nobody's ever seen it." Uh...that was the FIFTH WEEK THIS YEAR with no homicides. What a lying buffoon. newrepublic.com/article/1994... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: What do the Smithsonian attack, Texas redistricting, DC policing, and more have in common? Hmmm, let's see... newrepublic.com/post/199457/... via @newrepublic.com
