Sorry but this is the exact right response, regardless of who it's from. www.cnn.com/2025/09/24/p...

“You’re not allowed to call us Nazis,” says guy who went to work for Trump after calling him Hitler.

Make no mistake: This response from Thune shows Republicans know they need to put distance between themselves and Trump's corrupt censorship efforts. This is a battle libs/Dems are winning *and* it's one that's breaking through to the culture, as I try to argue here: newrepublic.com/article/2008...

Despite all the evidence hitherto, Harris though the plutocrats would side with democracy and not autocracy.

I have to say, the art on this piece perfectly captures the moment … bravo to Slate’s art desk slate.com/news-and-pol...

John Roberts liked to think he would be ranked among the great chief justices. And probably that is what everyone he ever encounters tells him. The rest of us think: Step aside, Roger Taney. It's now Roberts on his own.

my question for ahmari: the federal reserve is subject to democratic control — congress can, whenever it chooses, alter the terms of fed independence. how and why is the unilateral authority of the president, exercised outside of rule if law, more democratic than congress’s legitimate authority?

This fact is so overlooked with Kirk, sometimes deliberately, sometimes because reporters are clueless when they ask why "the left" doesn't have something like this. Because money.

So glad Murphy is being crystal-clear on all these matters these days: oligarchy, authoritarianism, etc. Crystal. Clear.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

Pentagon reporters, time to get creative.

Kathy Hochul doing public nuclear power generation is pretty cool. She's been kinda great the last few months? www.wsj.com/business/ene...

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me.”

Paging @talkingpointsmemo.com This story is your backstory made present.

She bends the knee to Trump while standing on a copy of the First Amendment. For shame, Lummis.

A good time to say, since we're talking about the Biden years, that @samrosenfeld.bsky.social and I wrote a paper for APSA, to be presented Sat. at noon, about why the Biden-era Democrats turned to policy as their salvation, and why it didn't work out. Here's the first paragraph.

Another way of putting it: The road to this movement was paved with "you're shrill" comments to those of us who argued Trump was a unique threat STARTING IN 2015

Schumer, Jeffries ... You gonna hold back your endorsement? You gonna fund an administration that would do this to your home state?

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Wow. People fighting for freedom in China, encouraging Americans to "be braver" now. h/t @samanthaculp.bsky.social

Is Tom Friedman going to next suggest that the sun should rise in the west and set in the east? Because that's about as likely.

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

An important detail of today's shooting is that Utah is one of only two states in the country that allow campus carry. I hope that this decision is revisited.

Hey look, it’s @thenimbee.bsky.social coming to make sure there’s no more building on University Ave. 1/2

I'd like to see this projected onto the Supreme Court building in DC. Some great rogue art, that would be.

Go go go @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social !

Go, Mallory!

Even @georgeselgin.bsky.social can be right sometimes! He's right. A nutso idea.

How many House Ds died in office?

Says the Enabler-in-Chief of Trump 1.0

I'd say he has a case of the stupids if it were not so dangerous. And this shit about Europeans ... Did (WASP) America love my Irish and German ancestors? No. They just turned them into white people over time.

Well, that's a relief.

Big props to whoever came up with the idea of calling Trump “Metamucilini”

In other words ... resist!

Does this make for a sub-optimal outcome for the prosecutors? Lettuce celebrate!

Awesome

If YouTube (a Google/Alphabet property) can polish up content without creators' knowledge or approval, what's stopping them from tweaking it according to political criteria?

Thank you for covering this issue and highlighting the work being done and the challenges our jurisdictions are facing

Killing a great American institution, they are. RIP WashPost

Absolutely disgraceful and despicable. If you are a partner at Paul Weiss or Kirkland & Ellis you should be ashamed of yourself -- that is, if you had any shame left.

A false binary. Dems can fight Trump procedurally AND emphasize his economic failings rhetorically. The problem arises when they sacrifice the former for the latter. “Shutting down government won’t make beef cheaper.” vs “We won’t be a party to his assault on America.” Let’s see which they pick.

rich nimbys in charlottesville lost the political debate over zoning, leveraged the legal system to try to stop it, and are going to lose the political debate again for the simple reason that the voters of cville support zoning reform and have elected a city council that intends to see it through

Well done, Alaska.

I miss him so much. M On the 17th anniversary of his death, I share some of his best work. - KCM

Reps. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Rob Wittman, R-Va., and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, have all voted for cuts to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Yet collectively, they’ve routed more than 1,000 constituent complaints to the agency, ProPublica found.

I'm just imagining the German defense minister saying something like this ...
