OK, kids, time for the next Nancy or LBJ to step up. America needs a strong Democratic whip next year, and Jeffries ain’t it.

It is not un-American to call out Donald Trump’s cruelty, corruption and dishonesty, and it is not antisemitic to call out Benjamin Netanyahu’s cruelty, corruption and dishonesty.

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

Mamdani and Cheney are in the news today. The beginning of the changing of the guard?

Give it some time, he's just getting started.

The Economist nails it.

Hundreds joined the #NoKings protest in Anaconda, Montana yesterday, while less than a dozen MAGAs held a counter-protest across the street. One of them (the black hat) was a member of Philipsburg Town Council wearing a sidearm on his hip.

Reading the Harvard Crimson opinion piece by Yona T. Sperling-Milner made me feel things I haven't felt in a long time, such as hope for the future and a desire to attend a pro wrestling match. Go get 'em, Yona! www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...
