Stand with trans Americans. You don’t have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump’s acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous. www.thebulwark.com/p/stand-with...

Republicans are saying that they want to give rich people a massive tax cut and crypto fraudsters inflated asset prices, and that to make that happen, you will have to accept a recession, higher unemployment, worse government services, and higher prices. They aren't hiding it.

It's so striking that the only folks standing up and leading in the Democratic Party are the progressives -- AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Tim Walz, Bernie Sanders.

1. EXCLUSIVE Popular Information has obtained an email, sent yesterday by a Trump administration official, explicitly instructing CFPB employees not to carry out activities REQUIRED BY LAW. This directly contradicts what administration lawyers told a federal court.

Not to like toot my own horn but every time I bring up tariffs on the radio I define them: "tariffs are taxes American businesses pay to import goods from abroad." Given all the lies and the fact that many Americans didn't take international economics 101, I encourage others to do this as well.

The solution to the “male crisis” is for the loser youth to act like gay guys (let their partner earn more, split chores evenly, do well and value doing well at school, etc.) but societally, for the loser youth, masculinity is defined as the opposite of that so good fucking luck.

People assume Andrew Cuomo is tough and A Fighter because he always looks angry and acts weird. Mistaking a total lack of emotional self-regulation and wild, self-destructive spite for Masculine Strength is one of the defining political errors to me. No one even tries to keep it together anymore.

The idea that a political party must do more dramatic things in response to defeat is not new to the social media age. New bio of John Lewis describes his approach to Newt Gingrich et al taking the House in 1994. Lewis applied Civil Rights era lessons and a willingness to burst norms to hurt Newt.

None of this is about non-interventionism or even isolationism. They don't want America to withdraw from the world stage. What they want is for the United States to switch sides on democracies vs. dictatorships. They want to be, and are, allies of the latter in the same way we have been the former.

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

Democrats thinking that the answer to their failures is "we didn't have a popular podcast" just is... so Democrats. It's looking at the superficial, not the substance. It's the kind of decision a committee makes, not someone in touch with the public.

As heinous as that Trump Gaza AI slop is, it was very obviously timed to seize attention and give cover to the House Republicans gutting Medicare and Social Security. Be mad, but don’t fully take the bait.

New York's (de)congestion pricing, which charges $9 to drive into Manhattan below 60 St, has reduced traffic, increased ridership, reduced subway crime, and is raising funds to fix the decaying transit system. Rare for a public policy to have this many benefits!

So I march my way down to Carol in H.R. & I knock on her door & say, "Carol! I gotta talk to you about Pepe!" When I open the door, there's not a single goddamn desk in that office. There is no Carol in H.R., half the employees in this building have been made up. This office is a goddamn ghost town.
