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

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"

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...

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

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

New Column: The Trump-Putin meeting: Three simian instincts are driving Trump here, and they are not good. Ukraine's in trouble. Oh, and: Goodbye, NATO. newrepublic.com/article/1989... via @newrepublic.com

How come all the news stories just say Trump and Putin are meeting "in Alaska"? Pretty big place! Has a specific city not been designated yet or something?

New Column: Are these the actions of a man who has nothing to hide? newrepublic.com/article/1989... via @newrepublic.com

Thank you for contributing such a great essay!

New! the @newrepublic.com's Sept issue features a great symposium "Trump vs. History," for which I asked the great @dblight.bsky.social to assemble colleagues to reflect on Trump's war on our history. We posted the first four (incl. David's) today; others coming soon! newrepublic.com/series/67/tr...

So @perrybaconjr.bsky.social is now to be found at the @newrepublic.com and he's en fuego right out of the gates! newrepublic.com/article/1988... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: It's not enough to chronicle the demise of democracy. At some point, the free press must take an affirmative stand against it. Otherwise, eventually, there will be no free press in any meaningful sense. newrepublic.com/article/1987... via @newrepublic.com

Typically smart and insightful from @mschmitt9.bsky.social

New Column: Trump wonders why he's not more popular when he's doing so many things. Well...the American people mostly think all those things really suck, that's why. newrepublic.com/post/198686/... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: It sounds insane. It IS insane. But Trump seems to be serious about it. And what Dear Leader wants... newrepublic.com/article/1984... via @newrepublic.com

New Column: I wrote this one this morning from about 7 to 9. Then, around 9:45 am on the White House lawn, Trump confirmed my instincts. newrepublic.com/post/198439/... via @newrepublic.com

The media manipulation moves aren’t working like they usually do, and as @taraemcg.bsky.social notes in convo with @gregsargent.bsky.social, the signs of White House frustration and internal divisions over the Epstein story are mounting. It’s not going away. And everyone can help by bringing it up.

Scooplet from @gregsargent.bsky.social for @newrepublic.com that lays bare DOJ's bumbling and/or complicity on Epstein. newrepublic.com/article/1982... via @newrepublic.com
