Attention: Leadership change required at moribund DSCC. Democratic anger at their own party fuels 2026 primaries via nbcnews - www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

We really, really need a lot more people to do this. Will it make the current DSCC mad? Yes. Do we need to make the current DSCC mad? Yes.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

We are well past "Remember when he said...". Time to share your resolve, to prepare the rank and file for the hardships ahead. You continue to fail profoundly.

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23. A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

On the National Mall this morning, a new satirical statue is up celebrating Jeffrey Epstein and Trump's "friendship" in honor of National Friendship Month.

What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.

No one knows Silicon Valley better than @stevenlevy.bsky.social. And no one is more clear-eyed about how far removed it has become from its supposed ideals.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

🧵10 ways MAGA is NOT like the Nazis🧵 The right wing hates it when people compare MAGA to the Nazis, as I’ve done in the past, based on their fascist behavior. But to be fair, I’ve decided to provide the other side. So here’s a thread with my list of 10 ways the MAGA movement is NOT like the Nazis.

Grandiose Nazi talk from pallid gollum-looking white fascists is a perfect way to honor Kirk’s legacy.

“The Montana Plan,” as local organizers have dubbed it, is moving toward the state’s 2026 ballot as a constitutional initiative. Its language leaves no doubt: Montanans want corporations out of their politics, and they intend to make that decision stick." www.usatoday.com/story/opini...

Resign. Your performance this morning showing your readiness and willingness to cave to the fascist disqualifies your for leadership and even a role in the Drmocratic caucus

Oh my god. This musical number by a famous #Disney character is savage. Thank you @colbertlateshow.bsky.social. #Disney #ABC #DonaldTrump and #BrendanCarr won't be happy if you widely circulate this. So shut your trap. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMGD...

This is worth a listen. I’ve never before grokked that conservatism is a disposition (not an ideology), that a lot more people are conservative than will own it, and that “centrism” is not an ideology or coherent belief at all. Centrists are conservatives posturing as “the adult in the room.”

🗃️ Socialist of the Day: Daniel La Spata is the City Council alderman of Chicago's 1st ward, having taken office as a member in May 2019. He won election after defeating incumbent Proco Joe Moreno in the 2019 Chicago aldermanic elections. He is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

This guy just walked around the Charlie Kirk vigil in Boston, yelling Kirk quotes through a bullhorn

“Meta has used back-to-school pictures of schoolgirls to advertise one of its social media platforms to a 37-year-old man, in a move parents described as “outrageous” and “upsetting.” Meta has 100% stopped even *pretending* not to be astoundingly evil. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

It's like a guy warning every woman he meets that he has a big dick. Also, he doesn't have a big dick.

Dutch late night TV has its take

I’m really not comfortable getting Rove, Kristol, Frum, Yoo, Carlson, and Hanania in the divorce.

Sorry, i don't think the solution to "why we have such low approval ratings as a party" is shifting our message to "we're actually not much different from Republicans, and are also willing to put vulnerable constituencies in harm's way." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/u...

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness. Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

To state the obvious, I was not paid by the Ford Foundation or Open Society to write the column, which is what Vance is alleging and he's saying he is going after those groups. Not the first time he's spouted conspiracy theories involving the Soroses to deflect criticism: apnews.com/article/jd-v...

her only reference to Kirk was a direct quote in which he directly claimed minority women are inferior fuck bezos and the rest of the authoritarian-simping brunchlords

Utter failure of Schumer and Jeffries not to have laid out demands including return to constitutional government and enforceable halt of illegal Trump overreach. Don’t fear death of the filibuster! Democrats are not required to be complicit in the collapse of democracy.

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

This is the juice

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

This is as huge a scandal & blunder as this chaotic Administration has seen. The person who should be called to answer for it is Secy Kristi Noem. When a woman who loves the camera as much as Noem is nowhere to be seen for 10 days it’s b/c she’s hiding out. Media should be all over this.

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Tyler Robinson is one of yours, MAGA. Curious what you do about the increasing violent radicalization of young MAGA men who are influenced by Nick Fuentes and Groypers and white nationalist conspiracy theories.

Kash Patel is what you get when a right-wing conspiracy podcaster gets handed the keys to the FBI. Everyone knew he would be a train wreck, but they confirmed him anyway. PS: props to the foreign press for asking the questions our own reporters won’t.

It's important to keep this objective in that mind. So let me offer an approach to shutdown politics that does just that.

Do not fund an authoritarian government. No CR, even if GOP agrees to extend ACA a little bit. That would give them what they need and would be a supreme failure of Democratic strategy. Let the GOP shut the government down. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...
