You don’t have to pick a side in the trump vs musk war. Just dig deep and find the enough hate in your heart to root for both to lose ❤️

If you're a Democrat who is considering helping to rehabilitate Elon Musk's reputation, maybe consider taking an OceanGate sub trip to the bottom of the ocean.

The primary policy objective of the centrist political pundit is to keep making six to seven figures

Elon Musk is now trying to claim he doesn’t do drugs. Here’s our response @nytimes.com

I will be making some calls

i let my son punch me in the head and i tell him the day you can kill me in one blow is the day you officially become a Teen

Sen. Joni Ernst has helped the GOP find its authentic voice: "We're all going to die." "A dark sloan? Yes. Increasingly accurate thanks to the Trump administration? Definitely." My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

I’m not saying we should flood this line with UFO reports but I’m not NOT saying that either.

Let the leaking and backstabbing begin. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

I've been bearish on #IASen, but here's a ready-made ad for the Democratic nominee. She had more than a week to prepare for questions about SNAP and Medicaid cuts.

There is not ONE townhall in this country that shouldn't look and sound like this. Make them uncomfortable! Make them say this stupid shit OUT LOUD for everyone to hear! Make them answer for it!

The way for Democrats to win back younger men is the same way to win back working class people of all races and genders: aggressively taking on the power of corporate elites who are screwing all of us over. Enough with the weak shit. Stand up for people, or stand aside.

I wrote about discovering my grandmother’s hair in Harvard’s Peabody Museum in The Trouble of Color. It still haunts me. I salute Tamara Lanier who persisted in her quest to win control of her ancestor’s images from the same museum — and prevailed! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/h...

Come find me today, 9-10 am at DeLuxe and bring your questions, concerns, and ideas for Iowa!

New "Iowa Down Ballot" just dropped! Dave Price, Kathie Obradovich, and I talked about what Governor Kim Reynolds and AG Brenna Bird have been up to this week, and the recent court ruling on Iowa's school book ban and "don't say gay/trans" law. iowawriterscollaborative.substack.com/p/iowa-down-...

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

I, personally, would melt into a puddle and never show my face in public again. But then again, I'm not a soulless ghoul

I just don't think I can believe anything they print in The Onion after this

There is no hell deep enough to contain the people involved with this

Time to prepare, beloveds. If you are considering stocking up, remember that these pills do expire eventually, and *do not* discuss your actions online or via unencrypted communication. Take no shit, and leave no trace. www.plancpills.org

To save runaways from slavery who were trying to make lives in the North “illegally,” local Vigilance Committees formed. They kept watch for slave catchers, secreted away those in danger, and posted placards that outed slave catchers, sometimes hounding them till they left town.

The VA has abruptly ended the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages. If you're a vet at risk of foreclosure, we want to hear your story.

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

It really means so much to Kelly and me that so many people have and are reading Let This Radicalize You in groups. This is exactly what we hoped for. Don't forget that we've created free resources to enhance conversation about the book: www.interruptingcriminalization.com/resources-al...

this guy is a world class asshole

Selfish people are my favorite because you never have to guess their motives.

Democratic members of Congress should probably be made to understand that unless they throw everything they have at this, they are next.

Penny is still making progress every day. I'd really love to see her find a nice forever home. 1 year old, around 50 lbs, spayed, house trained, good with other animals, very shy. Looking for a quiet home.
