The 2028 election may create "an historic opportunity for Democrats to establish a 'New New Deal,'" writes @davidrlurie.com. The challenge: building "a broad and resilient" coalition to lead us out of our political and economic crises. Yes please. No infighting. 🙂 www.publicnotice.co/p/democratic...

Will Democrats offer Americans a New New Deal?
A new social pact will be needed in the wake of Trump’s trail of ruin.

The FBI's deputy director, an anti-abortion hardliner, just left his job. But there’s nothing to suggest that his departure will deter abortion foes from continuing to press the administration to clamp down on abortion pills.

How was a Nevada Republican with a 30-year mortgage on a $565,000 home able to loan his Congressional campaign $1.6 million? We don't know, because he has repeatedly failed to submit required financial disclosures that would illuminate his personal financial position.

Why won’t network evening news broadcasts show their audience video of Trump dozing off during press events in the Oval Office in the middle of the day while people are talking, as he’s done dozens and dozen of times? Is that not newsworthy? Is it impolite? Will you lose access?

This is Michael Kotlikoff. He became Cornell’s interim president in July 2024. The assault was reported to Cornell police Nov 8, 2024. He was president while this unfolded. We need to know how some accused students were allowed to remain. Kotlikoff needs to address publicly, or go.

Trumps Unexpected Move Could Pave the Way for His Own Lockup
In the heart of Washington, D.C., a group of veterans has taken a stand against an ambitious project proposed by President Donald Trump: an imposing triumphal arch to honor himself. The veterans are holding banners in Memorial Circle, arguing that the arch, which would tower over twice the height of the Lincoln Memorial, would desecrate the sanctity of a site dedicated to national reconciliation and the memories of those who sacrificed their lives in battle.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

There’s no way in hell Trump should be allowed to slap his name on anything else, let alone Ford’s Theatre. But I have to admit, there’s something darkly hilarious about him adding his name to the place where an American president was assassinated. The irony practically writes itself.
