The key takeaway is that people hate the GOP bill when they learn what's in it, but most people don't know what's in it. One of the most important things we can do is keep sharing and talking to people about the fact that Republicans are cutting Medicaid & SNAP to give tax breaks to billionaires.

there’s a valuable lesson here for democrats in that voters want politicians to be bold and clearly stand FOR SOMETHING but i have a feeling democrats will continue opening TACO trucks in front of the white house or begging for war with iran instead sadly

"Everything in the world is trying to keep us from getting lost in thought lately." My latest newsletter is about why art and culture are more important than ever, and why the world's most powerful people are trying to wreck them. This is a huge theme in my new book! buttondown.com/charliejane/...

I’m not alone in this revelation or anything but it would be great if Democrats actually noticed Republicans aren’t getting agitated and defensive about taco trucks or raising the debt. They’re getting agitated and defensive when you point out their budget bill will kill people.

Along with abandoning DEI initiatives, Walmart has been quietly scaling back its promises to reduce its massive impact on plastic pollution and climate change—two crises that disproportionately harm Black and Brown communities. New from me:

Some people are already saying “sure it might be illegal but are we really going to defend the family of a terrorist” and it’s like, yeah, even if they were trying to deport just him illegally, that’s still bad. Edge cases with unsympathetic characters are used to erode everyone’s rights

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

Alright, so media! Who ostensibly do journalism! What is the thing all of those leaders have in common and what does it tell us about Hegseth and Trump? Could it be that they are all from marginalized communities? Gay, Black, Jewish, Chicano, and/or women…

this is a genuinely unsettling thing to see an NYT writer say. it's essentially an uncontested fact that in the social media era, large majorities of people don't read past the headline.

We really need more reporting on how much time and productivity AI is costing, not saving. If you teach in higher ed, for example, or work in the legal profession, how much more of your day now is just spent double checking things that you now suspect to be AI? It's become a huge time suck.

New, from me: The Trump administration is already making it easier for partisan political appointees to fire career civil servants. A new policy will also allow them to politicize who is hired into the civil service. The spoils system returns! 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-politi...
