People keep telling me that I should support these insurgent leftist candidates because of their "good policy ideas," and what I want you to understand is, if your experience with politics is social media, your "policy ideas" are going to primarily be the consensus views of the audience you want.

Perfectly normal for a serious campaign with a serious candidate who takes policy, politics, & representative office seriously.

Trump is very confused about what Nick Shirley was up to in Minnesota: "When it comes to nursing homes, you saw where a young gentleman was going around and knocking on doors and none of the nursing homes existed, none of the nurseries existed"

Important to keep in mind before spinning starts tomorrow: AIPAC spent more against Daniel Biss than against Kat Abughazaleh. Unless Laura Fine wins (near zero-chance, thanks to Daniel Biss’s ads, which killed her candidacy) AIPAC is lying Also Abughazaleh was _not_ AIPAC’s biggest target, Biss was

I also love that he didn’t beeline it to a fancy after party, but stopped an In and Out and met with fans. That’s knowing how you got where you got and not acting like an entitled brat. www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/...

Susan Collins' support for the SAVE Act threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including over 300,000 women in Maine. This is just the latest example of her toeing the party line and using her power to appease the President, even when it harms Maine people.

Senate debates on the SAVE America Act begin this week. Here's what you need to know:

Trump, RFKJr. And the billionaires backing them are all eugenicists-- they think they're purging the human race of the weak and unfit. So for them, this is a feature, not a big. It's 100% intentional.

By the time you finish watching this video, you'll be able to explain the potential Warner Brothers-Paramount deal like an expert.

Thanks @normornstein.bsky.social for showing how the “SAVE America Act” is built on “lies perpetrated to force a nationalization of elections & massive voter suppression” pushed to counter “plummeting support for Trump and his party in the country and among voters.” newrepublic.com/article/2077...

CBS’s Margaret Brennan sounded aghast and unbelieving when Iran’s FM told her what Trump had said: ARAGHCHI: …there are, you know, people being killed only because President Trump wants to have fun. This is what he has said-- BRENNAN: --have fun? www.cbsnews.com/news/iranian...

Latest video in the Take-a-Day series: How to find news sources like a historian. The Trump administration is bragging about shutting down media outlets. I could give you alternative trusted outlets, but instead: here's how to find new legitimate sources yourself. youtube.com/shorts/uk_dA...

Trump’s new nominee for DHS Secretary traded over $10 million in stocks in just the past year. For years I’ve worked to pass my bill to BAN Members of Congress from trading stocks — we must end it once and for all!

There's something kinda wrong about doing all you can to dismantle the NATO alliance that has kept the globe safe for 80 years ... AND THEN ... getting your panties in a knot because the countries you badmouthed are less than enthusiastic about your half-assed misadventure in Iran.

OT: A few months ago the Threepenny Review asked me (along with others) to write a short essay on living in New York. It’s up now: threepennyreview.com/kr… But one passage I was pleased with reads a bit differently than when I wrote it:

Well this was interesting… Kathy Heigl, Laura Trump, puppy mills, and grifting..

Highlight of the drive to work: Eagle vs. Otter. In the end, the otter left the remains of its fish on the ice, and the eagle cleaned up the scraps. 🌿🦉🦊

A former US military ally has died after less than 24 hours in ICE custody. Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal served with US forces in Afghanistan. He was detained by ICE as he was dropping his children off at school.

Delroy Lindo should have won one of those “okay, technically its for this role, but its really for a lifetime of amazing work ” Oscars. Ie, DiCaprio for “The Revenant,” Pacino for “Scent of a Woman,” etc.

There is so very very much to learn about the origins and history of US citizenship and migration and that in turn shapes the grim, bad originalism deployed to strip it. @unlawfulentries.bsky.social is a must-listen and a must-read in advance of the birthright citizenship arguments in two weeks.

There's a missing nuclear bomb in BC, and my friend Bob knows more about it than he should.

‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

Gloria Cazares: “My daughter Jackie was 9 when she was killed in Uvalde. Her bedroom has been frozen in time. Jackie is more than just a headline. She is our light & life. Gun violence is now the #1 cause of death for kids & teens.” #AllTheEmptyRooms (From @bluegeorgia.bsky.social )
