The imprint was formed in 2016 by then FSG publisher and president Jonathan Galassi to publish experimental works. Under the direction of Sean McDonald (pictured), MCD published a range of bestselling and award-winning fiction and nonfiction titles. McDonald will leave FSG April 15.

Many of you have heard that my editor Sean McDonald will no longer be working at Farrar, Straus and Giroux. I wrote a little bit about my feelings at the end of an era.

A good egg just hit the market!

It’s primary Election Day, Illinois! Let’s get out the vote and elect Juliana Stratton 💙 🗳️ #Strattmentum

2 days. I’ll see you at the polls, Illinois! 🗳️

Dirty work

HASSETT: The latest number I was briefed on is $12 billion BRENNAN: $12 billion for six weeks of war? HASSETT: No, I'm sorry. The $12 billion was what I was briefed has been spent so far.

Can someone please explain the CBCs strategy here? Is it to ensure NO Black woman gets the senate seat? I am so confused.

Kelly doesn’t have a road to win. A vote for her is a vote for Raja. This is like voting Sliwa for mayor.

And also not to vote for Kelly, because that’s a vote for Raja.

Here’s a longer segment of our next senator Juliana Stratton @julianastratton.bsky.social speaking today at Free Flow Kitchen in Evanston, which will give you a better idea of how good she is. She starts out talking about how healthcare motivated her to run for office.

Proud fighter, proud Chicagoan, proud house head. Get to the polls March 17th!

A new FM3 poll paid for by American Future, a DraftKings backed PAC, shows Juliana Stratton leading the Illinois Democratic Senate primary: 🔵 Juliana Stratton 38% 🔵 Raja Krishnamoorthi at 33% 🔵 Robin Kelly 18%

Trump hits US with war taxes:

the one check on Trump that I thought might keep us from this day is that he has never defied Putin’s strategic patron-client interests in any way close to this before.

It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.

underground art is important (and important to ME personally) but a world where nobody ever gets a big budget to take a big weird swing is still massively depressing

I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both 5 Calls can help you make the call: 5calls.org/issue/iran-i...

The state of the union address was like 72 hours before the US and Israel chose to attack Iran’s capital and call for regime change, and Trump did not even mention his policy toward Iran before Congress, much less ask for a declaration of war.

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

Everyone is calling their representatives rn, correct?

Fuck this!

Why are the Democratic leaders in congress not out calling for a stop to this? No joke, the last @schumer.senate.gov posted here was 10 hours ago and he was complaining about RFKJr and grocery prices.

I am very scared about the midterms.

NEW: Several high-ranking federal election officials attended a summit last week at which prominent activists who worked to overturn Trump’s loss in the 2020 election pressed for the president to declare a national emergency to take over the midterms.

It emerges that the trigger event for the abrupt closure of the El Paso airport was the US military shooting down the US Border Patrol’s drone. apnews.com/article/mili...

January: Kidnap the president of Venezuela February: Launch an unprovoked war with Iran March: ???

Twitter is still good for breaking news. Threads for jokes and foolishness. Bluesky for politics cultural news, commentary and the people you knew on Twitter back in the day.

Every anti-vaxxer I encounter seems to love weird unregulated supplements. They hate Big Pharma but they love Little Pharma, Big Pharma’s younger sibling who grew up without any adult supervision.

Operation Epstein Fury

pedo ass warmonger

Secretary Hegseth announced this afternoon that DOD will cease ALL graduate study by military personnel at universities including MIT, all the Ivies, Stanford, etc because such schools teach "the enemy's wicked ideology" to officers. thehill.com/policy/defen...

Trump launches massive and massively illegal, perilous and costly war of aggression because he feels like it — with hardly even a pretense of legitimate grounds or coherent outcomes, a catastrophically world destabilizing and murderous folly.

So anyway I guess this is what it feels like to be one of the tiny humans running through the streets while the giant supervillain monsters are fighting by throwing passengers trains and apartment buildings at each other

Fewer and fewer people having more and more power and wealth will surely end well.

Just want to note that 3am in Washington is like 11:30am in Tehran. The American people are the ones he snuck up on in the dead of night to conduct this illegal attack, not the purported enemy.

Someone please wake Schumer and Jeffries up and also pls give them a backbone and some sense.

For all those who didn't watch tonight, allow me to summarize: The liar lied again.

I help host a writing club for my 10-year-old and his friends. We've been sharing writing, but this weekend, I want to mix it up. What are writing games or activities for fifth graders (fun, not babyish) that build community, confidence and attention to observation and language? Movement is a plus!

FINALLY FIGURED OUT MY BLUESKY PASSWORD

I have truly had enough of 2025.

Okay, what holiday movies are we revisiting this year? Time to get started.

I’m sorry, are we doing Xmas trees BEFORE Thanksgiving? My mom sent me a pic of hers last night and I’m seeing a ton on social media. WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS?

If I did consider a Substack/newsletter, what would you want to read from me?

I truly can’t tell if people love or hate Brandon Johnson? Help?

Learned this via Pub Lunch this morning and screamed. Helen Garner forever!

Good day in NYC.
