The backstory is wild. open.substack.com/pub/noelleco...

What are we even doing? This is insane.

What could go wrong?

What’s that phrase? The enemy of my enemy is my friend.... I’m not sure I’d go that far but you go ahead girl

Look at the Gen X bump of racial resentment. It went down before and after us. And we are the Trumpiest generation. Kind of adds up.

The Epstein Scandal is just like Watergate! There's a 'Deep Throat' & everything. 🫠

Trump just told reporters on Air Force One that he hasn’t ruled out a pardon for Ghislane Maxwell

When your defense is: let me help you remember this wrong. Innocence doesn’t need a rewrite.

Taking a break from the doom cycle with a tiny reminder that not everything is a dumpster fire. 🪶

My serious take is that Nuzzi committed a huge ethical breach of standards and should be ashamed, not profiting off a book deal and getting a warm and fuzzy profile in the Times. There are too many good, hard-working ethical reporters out there for this stuff to be rewarded.

Boy, King Charles is going to feel pretty stupid when he discovers that he stripped his brother Andrew of all of his titles just because of a hoax manufactured by some Democrats in America!

The rot of the ruling class. It's monarchy. It's the late-Roman Republic that fell into a dictatorship. Not from too much democracy, but from too much aristocratic decadence.

"the wealthy and powerful appear not as master operators but as bumbling sycophants, eager to cozy up to influence no matter how villainous or depraved" PS read those emails and tell me you would pay that person hundreds of millions of dollars for investment advice

NEW: In text messages from 2017, Jeffrey Epstein seemingly represented himself as positioned to pass information from the Trump White House to Bill Gates through an intermediary, claiming intimate knowledge of Trump’s views in an exchange with a Gates adviser.

My daughter is 15, a child with a baby face whom I won’t even put in an Uber by herself. Just utterly disgusting from the same people who have spent years demonizing trans people as predators for daring even to exist. What are we even doing right now?

Signs you might be a far right authoritarian party (#3260): This list literally started in December 2020 as these very people & others tried to steal the election:

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

it’s moments like today that make it really clear that it was imperative for zohran mamdani to oust andrew cuomo and prevent all these republican-lites from controlling anything

Primary the entire Dem Senate Caucus. We all see right through this political theater. I'm done.

Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin claims Trump is pardoning his Georgia co-defendants and other “alternate electors.” Note: Trump’s Georgia co-defendants are charged under state law. The president can’t pardon people for state crimes.

I am working on a story that involves some of the ways people really are standing up in this moment. There really is a groundswell and it's not coming from DC.

“This was a very very bad vote”

In the words of (the since cooked), John Lydon, anger is an energy. youtu.be/UD65MMID_jc?...

yes senator they're roasting you on Bluesky, sir yes full roast sir, the communists, the wine moms, Bill Kristol, they're all roasting you, sir no, sir, I haven't seen him in Waiting for Godot, but he's roasting you, too, sir

Van Hollen Senate Minority Leader vote when

They understand. The problem isn’t awareness. It’s allegiance: the voters who elected them, or the donors who own them?

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Chuck Schumer is doing this because he is sabotaging the emergence of a Democratic Party that actually promises real results for working people, in order to protect his phony job and his billionaire friends

The Democratic Party’s ongoing reckoning is fueling more primaries against longtime lawmakers, new fundraising reports show — the latest in a string of signs that some veteran Democrats next year may face their toughest challenges yet, as the party grapples with generational and ideological divides.

We tried to show them after the last surrender. There's no sense in trying to convince them anymore. Primaries are the only path to a fighting opposition party now.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
