We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

Pete Hegseth has a history of - alcohol abuse - gross mistreatment of women - management & financial failure - defending war criminals and he’s been confirmed as our next SecDef But tell us again how it’s actually women and people of color who are “underqualified”

No other Western democracy has anything remotely like the America election system. Our campaigns are too expensive, last too long, divert valuable time and attention away from governing, and compromise everyone involved in them. It doesn’t have to be this way. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

A vote for Trump. (or anyone other than Harris) is a vote for RFK Jr. to override public health policy is a vote for thousands of children to die of a disease that are vaccine-preventable. Trump/Stein voters should just directly start constructing thousands of child-sized coffins.

It sounds dumb but I think it is genuinely hard to understand: all this incredible reorganization of American society—the subservience of an entire political party, the fracturing of reality/elevation of the most absurd lies, the sheer concept of presidential immunity—all that for THIS fucking guy?

One way to cover Trump's viral child-care-cost answer is to clean it up. Another is to walk through it, using it as a stream-of-conscious look at how he approaches politics. Gift link: wapo.st/3ZxCJLt

One of the most important articles you could read about what's really at stake in this election. This is the kind of incisive coverage we desperately need more of. Please read and spread this gift link. www.nytimes.com/2024/08/21/o...

"Can my husband find out who I am voting for?" The question went viral. (The answer is no.) We don't know how much men control women's votes. But the idea of it resonates this election, which is about weird men who are obsessed with controlling women. www.salon.com/2024/08/14/c...

People outside the state don’t pay attention to Texas politics because it’s not competitive but here’s a thing that happened that no one ever mentions in the context of political antisemitism www.texastribune.org/2024/04/04/t...
