It’s deeply frustrating to me to be 10, 15 years into this and routinely have to remind some liberals that the New York Times is not your fucking friend and is not going to do the job of the Democratic Party for it.

I don't think Katie Britt went slackjawed because she was mortified by Eric Schmitt's sloppiness. I think she (like all Republicans) knew the hearing was meant to generate propaganda and lawfare and she was crestfallen to see it come apart. Reporters should ask her if she knew the ambush was coming.

Jack Smith: Donald Trump preyed on party loyalty and fear. One of the reasons he [failed] is bc Republicans stood up. I personally find it hard to understand how our investigation could be viewed as partisan when our strongest witnesses were Republicans. [Names Rusty Bowers and Mike Pence.]

@eggerdc.bsky.social reacts to Democrats who are against impeaching Trump for a third time: “I'm leaning more and more on the opposite side of this thing. I think the president should, in fact, face yet another one of these suckers, whether or not it works.”

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

The challenges we face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot allow Big Money to dominate our politics and economy. And we cannot capitulate to the oligarchy.

If any of these guys spent 1 hour with someone outside of their ideological bubble they might have learned something. For example, if you think you can cut the deficit via personnel cuts, you are a fucking clown who does not deserve to be listened to. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/a-year-on-...

Musk seems to have genuinely thought the government was Twitter. This was one of the rationales for hiring him - he dramatically cut Twitter’s personnel and underlying costs, and no big deal! But one major difference is that unlike a tech firm, personnel for the federal government is a minor cost. Because federal employee salaries make up only about 5% to 6% of spending, you can fire a huge proportion of them, and barely put a dent in federal spending.

Put aside the merits of policies and this is still one of the worst Congresses in history. Much of what Trump does would be 'bad but constitutional' if the GOP Congress passed bills for it, but they don't, and yet they also don't pass anything to rein him in, so it's a permanent governance crisis.
