So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

imagine your reaction if you were told a decade ago that in 2025 Mitch McConnell would be the only Senate Republican willing to stand up to a Putinist takeover of the US intelligence agencies

There are now three instances where deadnaming is good. 1) If not deadnaming would put the person at risk of harm. 2) If we’re talking about Twitter. 3) If we’re talking about the Gulf of Mexico.

Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo. "Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."
