I can think of nothing worse than going on a reporting trip with Nicholas Kristoff, which I imagine involves hopping in one cab after another for anecdotes. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/04/o...

"The Democratic Party lacks the energy of a determined opposition — it is adrift, listless in the wake of defeat. Too many elected Democrats seem ready to concede that Trump is some kind of avatar for the national spirit — a living embodiment of the American people."

An interview with TPM’s Josh Marshall, who argues that protectors of democracy need to create a massive fundraising vehicle right now to defend the targets of Trump’s coming retribution tour.

I'm normally very dovish, but even I admit that the case for a rate cut was pretty evenly balanced given recent data. And projections about future Fed policy are almost pointless: everything depends on whether Trump really does what he's been saying he will, in which case hard to see any cuts

This has ALWAYS been what is going to happen. The way that tariffs work makes them perfect vehicles for presidential corruption. If you're on team Trump you get a waiver. If you're not, well ... sucks to be you. That's why the inaugural committee is cleaning up with CEOs.

Take a sample of 200 Democrats in Washington and you'll get 205 different approaches to the Trump era. Conciliation, trolling, resistance, and everything in between. This is what happens when there's no leadership in the party: everyone scurries around without coherence. From me:

A trans person didn’t deny your health insurance claim, a giant corporation did. An asylum seeker didn’t raise your rent, a billionaire’s private equity firm did. Our focus must be taking on the billionaires & corporate greed.

what N Y Times calls "morbid glee" is better described as cries from the heart of a deeply wounded & betrayed country; hundreds of thousands of Americans shamelessly exploited by health-care insurers reacting to a single act of violence against just one of their multi-millionaire executives.

You cannot cut 2 trillion dollars from federal spending without doing terrible damage to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. You cannot raise tariffs without raising prices. The Republican plan is to take money from regular people and give it to the most profitable corporations on the planet.

NEW: Trans people centered themselves in a trans case before a very not trans court. Not only was Chase Strangio arguing Wednesday, but a trans plaintiff was in the courtroom, as were many other trans lawyers, journalists, and observers. "Trans people were not hidden Wednesday, and that matters."
