Democrats need an answer for Project 2025 (and it's not the Green New Deal). They need an answer for Leonard Leo and Steve Bannon. They need to game the system too. Institutions and norms are not going to win against bad faith and brazenness.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court just ruled that the president can sleep outdoors in a public space.

a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

Still think it's possible that Biden's greatest failing was not even trying to expand the Supreme Court.

Only halfway through season 3 of The Bear, but so far one of the great moments in the whole series is the opening sequence of ep 2, as all around Chicago people go to work and restaurants prep for the day ahead (with a terrific rendition of Save It for Later playing).

The Democratic Party’s reaction to their candidate having a bad debate substantially outpaces the Republican Party’s reaction to their candidate being convicted of multiple felonies, held liable for rape, and owing judgments in the hundreds of millions for defamation and fraud.

The right wing majority on scotus legalizes bribery and criminalizes homelessness because to them, rich people deserve rights and poor people deserve nothing. If they were deserving they’d be rich.

The media (which wants Trump to win) already setting the framing for the debate. Biden must be "vigorous" - i.e. avoid even a single misspeak or stumble - while the expectations for Trump are merely that he not spend the entire debate screaming incoherently.

Thanks for Reggie Jackson for saying this, and contempt and defiance, in advance, to the worthless shitbirds who will say he shouldn’t have and that he oughta leave if he doesn’t like it.

Regrettably those worthless shitbirds are now fairly mainstream.

In truth the best sandwhich in New York is the one you make for lunch the day after you host a dinner party, where you put leftover roast chicken on a baguette with mayo, red wine vinegar, and arugula and think about how much fun you had with your friends www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

We do in fact split up household duties pretty equally, but a perfect encapsulation of this marriage is me walking from the living room tv to the kitchen to fret about the internal temp of my roast chicken while the spouse yells behind me, "YOU KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WITH TATUM IS ?!?!!!"

The only people who've ever held Trump meaningfully accountable over the last nine years have been ordinary Americans and they've spent that entire time being lectured to and berated by elites who've failed to do anything.

RIP the Gaza aid pier. It didn't last long, it didn't accomplish anything, and it was always just a PR stunt to pull attention away from the government's support of a genocide, but at least it cost more money than the federal government spends on addiction treatment programs
