Prime Minister Péter Magyar inaugural speech: "The psyche of the whole country was poisoned by politics that was artificially inciting hatred. The Hungarian state is not allowed to do anything like this ever again... This era is, once and for all, finished."

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

Air traffic Control is in crisis, planes are crashing, TSA lines are around the block, airlines are going out of business. And this fox news bozo went on a seven month-road trip while we were paying him to be transportation secretary? Do I have this right?

I see some people online who seem to really want Obama "to speak up more" etc... but my point is and has been that he's deeply OUT OF TOUCH. Which Democratic electeds are "talking to people like a college seminar?" Name names. His comments are just another complaint about "the groups." Sad!

We live in a time dominated by deeply unserious people making deeply unserious arguments in support of tragically serious results that serious people would have both avoided and known to avoid.

Here's the initial block list of those who attended the WHCD tonight. Adding names as it becomes clear they were there.

I think my Monday newsletter is just going to be a big collection of pictures from the WHCD to be like "look at these losers."

$1,700 is roughly the FIT burden of a household of three filing joint making 65k, to put that into tax perspective.

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020. She missed these trials by a few months. One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here. I feel such a hole inside. In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

I really don't like this 25A medicalization talk. "Fail a mental fitness test"? That frames this as if it's some unproven possibility of a particular mental illness, which is totally irrelevant. I don't care what boxes he checks in the DSM-5. That he's unfit for office is not a medical diagnosis.

Ilan Wurman is the legal Johnny Somali

Republican leaders are a cancer that has to be eliminated from American society.

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it" both parts are important!

We gotta be real about this sentiment, it’s driven by concern-trolling rich people. They are fine with paying for their own child care and don’t want to pay taxes for poorer people to get child care either

More than 10,000 veterans lost their homes to foreclosure since May of last year, when the Trump admin shut down a key safety net in the VA home loan program, according to the latest industry data. That is the highest pace of foreclosures for VA loans in a decade.

So realtors gave $5 million to an anti-Steyer Super PAC, and now he's losing endorsements for condemning AIPAC. Got it.

A lot of Trump voters I spoke to during the campaign were convinced the Wrong People were getting free stuff and that Trump would make sure the Right People (them) got it. bsky.app/profile/fact...

Everyone needs to just keep repeating this, over and over. The politics of a case is NOT JUST ABOUT THAT CASE. There is a meta-game here too. This case is surely going to be used as cover for gutting the VRA. And too many pundits are going to fall for it.

😱CORRECTIONS are CENSORSHIP. Requesting them is a CONSPIRACY. Jacob Siegel of Tablet is extremely angry that I requested corrections of the materially wrong facts (lies) ab me/ my work that appeared in his 📖 & were echoed by unwitting reviewers. He is mad that they corrected. So he emailed me.

Stephen Miller allegedly urged Department of Homeland Security agents to “force confrontations” with protesters in Minneapolis in order to win a “PR battle." trib.al/NcbpdiX

The reason they want his politics to fail is that an anti-Zionism rooted in a multiracial social democratic humanism is genuinely in keeping with the traditions of the Democratic Party and American Jewry. They want the choice to be Nazis or them, so that we're all with them.

Professor Moyn is pretty far down the list of commentators whose finger-wagging merits attention. Smart guy, lousy judgment.

This is a very important initiative and a possible way out of the Super PAC box that the party finds itself in. It leverages negative publicity in a measurable way to make outside spending toxic

Trump has been bailed out of all his idiotic failures for his entire life, but this time he just might have gone too far. prospect.org/2026/03/20/i...

"It is not the intelligence community's responsibility to determine what is and isn't an imminent threat" holy hell that's a hell of a thing for the DNI to say

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

UPDATE ON THE HORMUZ COALITION (Mon, March 16): 🇫🇷 France: REJECTED 🇬🇧 UK: REJECTED 🇮🇹 Italy: REJECTED 🇪🇸 Spain: REJECTED 🇯🇵 Japan: REJECTED 🇳🇴 Norway: REJECTED 🇨🇦 Canada: REJECTED 🇦🇺 Australia: REJECTED 🇩🇪 Germany: REJECTED 🇨🇳 China: NO RESPONSE 🇳🇱 Netherlands: NO RESPONSE 🇰🇷 South Korea: NO CONFIRMATION

Matthew Yglesias is poking fun at the White House finally realizing its policy is too unpopular to run on? The guy who spent all of 2025 and until circa February of 2026 arguing Democrats shouldn’t even talk about Trump’s immigration/deportation policy? That Matthew Yglesias?

i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly

Oh my god no! The Iranians were developing Trump's healthcare plan.

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why? If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment. Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

complete insanity

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll finds only 27% of Americans approve of the military attacks. 43% disapprove.

It's all so goddamned predictable.

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.

Good job, New York Times. Directly calling Trump's case for war with Iran based on "false" claims that "do not hold up." In the headline, top of the homepage. And no hedging with "critics say." I don't think they ever did that in the lead up to Iraq, and rarely do anything like it for Trump's lies.

So I just got a statement from California AG Bonta's office: "Paramount/Warner Bros is not a done deal. These two Hollywood titans have not cleared regulatory scrutiny — the California Department of Justice has an open investigation, and we intend to be vigorous in our review"

The big difference between the US and Brazilian/Korean case isn't that voters care less about democracy. It's that American elites basically did not care about it after two weeks

People are running past the fact that Susan Rice, the establishmentarian's establishmentarian, said that businesses who capitulated to Trump would likely face retribution when the Democrats take over!

I bet the tabletops at the French Laundry are pretty nice, you vapid dollop of Temu hairgel

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

As true today as it was in 2020: The next Democratic-controlled government has to expand the Supreme Court. There’s simply no way for Democrats—even Democratic majorities—to accomplish anything for as long as this Court is a reactionary obstacle to everything

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time
