Inaction is contagious. My take as we head into COP30:

There's one example of a successful hostile takeover of a major party - Donald Trump - and it didn't happen by playing nice with the party bigwigs. Trump went to war with them, humiliated them. And now "Little Marco" works for him.

Each new statement is dumber than the last.

Nice story about a Grand Avenue staple. www.twincities.com/2025/11/07/s...

President Donald Trump has issued pardons for numerous allies and alleged co-conspirators in his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

I just did this and if nothing else it was cathartic. I said I would make it my life’s mission to make sure there’s a primary challenger for any D involved in this deal, it’s fucking embarrassing.

SCHUMER MUST GO. I can’t say it strongly enough. As someone on the ACA, this is a sellout of the highest order. Deplorable.

For @teenvogue.com I wrote about the death of trans athlete Lia Smith and how trans youth kind themselves with central pillars of their lives being constantly ripped away from them because of politics. www.teenvogue.com/story/politi...

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential. www.reuters.com/world/us/usd...

Trump gave Orban a card stating that he is the greatest.

What does it say about Leavitt that one of the most cruel dictators in the world offered her a job? Thought her well qualified to work for his regime? She should really be doing a personal evaluation of her life and what she supports after that comment.

Love her/Hate her Nancy Pelosi blazed trails for women. That is above dispute. She held power in one of the most toxic male dominated power circles. She was an early AIDS advocate. For that, I give her praise and thanks. Also, super glad she’s stepping down.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

As the dust settles on Carney’s first budget, it’s become increasingly clear which Canadians he thinks need to make “sacrifices.” Hint: it’s not the ultra-wealthy. In fact, it’s clear why someone who still considers himself a conservative feels at home in this Liberal government:

As you might be able to tell from my shade of green, I'd just stepped off a plane from New York and was incredibly jet-lagged when I made this The British Academy 10 minute talk over a year ago. I'm so pleased, honoured, and frankly surprised it's resonated so widely! youtu.be/cgj7Uu8ps20?...
