If you're going to call your Representative, if you're going to ask anyone else in your network to call their Representative, you have to do it now. We expect a floor vote relatively soon — we're down to the final few hours.

this is only adjacent to the topic but I really hate the "this person will kick cancer's ass" style of discussion about illness. cancer is a tsunami. you might get lucky and survive it but you don't fight it. you get lucky enough to catch it early, and to have a cancer that we can treat, or not

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the inevitable defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy.

The Fourteenth Amendment declared a radical, sweeping, utopian transformation in what it meant to be an American. It's not mere law—it's something far bigger, grander, bolder. Birthright citizenship is itself our birthright, and it demands a defense worthy of its majesty.

On June 27, 2024, Joe Biden gave the worst debate performance in history. And then it became my job, as a DC reporter, to foster conventional wisdom that a feeble president with sane policies was surely worse than an energetic president with racist, economically incompetent, kleptocratic policies.

One of the problems in confronting Trump's corruption is that we've been trained to use the wrong language to describe it. "Conflict of interest," "ethical concerns" etc. is made for small technical violations, not shameless cash-grabs, shakedowns, and payoffs www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

JPMORGAN: “.. The trade war shock is still material. .. we now estimate an effective ex-ante tariff rate of 14.4%. This is akin to a $475bn tax hike on US households and businesses, worth 1.6% of GDP (still sitting close to the largest tax hike in the post WWII period).”

Not saying Bill Gates is a saint or anything but it's weird to see a billionaire who, rather than being a complete psychopath who wants to enslave humanity and drink the blood of the young, instead thinks his money should be used to cure diseases and stuff

One of the dumbest features of the new right is this idea that prestige and influence are just resources that can be sstolen or extracted from the world, like iron ore. Rather than social relationships that need to be cultivated through specific political and cultural practices.

One reason Americans don't pay as much attention to Trump's corruption as they should is that they don't think it affects them. But it does. In ways both cultural and legal, Trump is making it exponentially easier for fraudsters to take your money. www.salon.com/2025/05/02/c...

Despite knowing the people on the search warrant weren't there, the ICE arrest team STILL took this family's phones, laptops, and life savings — and refused to leave a BUSINESS CARD so they could ask to get it back! This stuff is sadly not unique to ICE; it happens with regular police raids too.

The fact of the matter is that the American conservative movement has backed a president now harassing students and destroying academic work on ideological grounds. This entire debate should be suspended until the conservative movement repudiates him. There is nothing to discuss until then.
