It’s simple. When our political culture shifts right wealthy people profit from accelerated extraction, fewer costs associated with regulation, lower taxes for the grotesquely rich, and more wealth siphoned from the bottom to the top. A surprise leftward shift rarely benefits an oligarch.

Parker’s piece hits on exactly what made me so mad about that Ezra Klein interview. Obsessing over polling is a road to nowhere. Good leaders shape public opinion by demonstrating commitment to their moral convictions.

Yes, the bad news is global tensions between nuclear powers are worse than they’ve been in our lifetime, but the good news is AI video is also good enough now to make it difficult to trust anything you see online!

The fundamental problem with Sarah McBride's logic in the New York Times today is that the fight over transgender rights is not one where "if only we were a little less confrontational" is the driving factor. Look at Republicans and how they treat people that even acknowledge a transgender woman.

Netanyahu began this war with his attack on Iran. In the process, he sabotaged US-Iran negotiations on nuclear issues and assassinated Ali Shamkhani, Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator. The US must not be dragged into another illegal Netanyahu war – either militarily or financially.

California contributes $83 Billion more in tax revenue to the Fed than it receives in federal funding, making it the largest donor state. Newsom should threaten a statewide federal tax strike unless funding is maintained.

Difference between me and people working in the U.S. gov’t is that if a guy with weird hair asked me to invest billions of dollars in his company named for the evil all-seeing stone from a fantasy novel so he can build a digital panopticon, I would say “No, that sounds bad.”

Words have meaning, and meaning has power. I have been searching for a word, or a phrase, or something to answer the gnawing feeling that there is a direction to which we should be steering, to which we should fight. Thanks to @swordsjew.bsky.social, I'll start using one - "the broader path."

Gorka, the W.H. senior director for counterterrorism, went on Newsmax to float the idea that anyone speaking out about the violation of deportee’s due process rights is “providing material support to terrorist groups.” He’s laying out the plan they’ll use to kidnap activists, lawyers, and critics
