By using plain language to say things that are obviously true, Jon Ossoff has revolutionized Democratic politics.

Have writing assignments in class with pen and paper with no digital gear allowed. You get clear results and students do the work and learn. Universities need to make a hard shift in this direction now. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

In unusual deal, a $1.8 billion fund that could help Trump allies is created
The agreement to end the Trump family's lawsuit against the IRS grants a commission broad authority to distribute nearly $1.8 billion to those who, like the president, have claimed they have been targets of a
"weaponized" justice system.

Comic panel of Donald Duck and a wide-eyed young Mickey Mouse. Donald's speech bubble: "Democrats should do a huge middle class tax cut to address affordability." Mickey's speech bubble: "Fool that you are, for you treat taxation as a burden rather than the means by which our burdens are eased. Behold a civilization rich in private wealth yet starved of public provision, where every man owns what his grandfathers could not imagine and yet trembles at the thought of how he will weather an illness or loss of livelihood. Will you fight for an affirmative vision of broad contribution and universal benefit? Or will you perish like a dog?"

You should go ahead and fundraise for it. People want to support you and there is absolutely no shame in it. Hell, even I would donate, and I was firmly against your candidacy

This is so terrible. The third country removals are human rights catastrophes; South Americans fleeing persecution in their homes, then being dumped in Kinshasa and told they can’t stay and must go… somewhere. Preferably right back to where they fled.
'We don't know what will happen'
For the deportees back in the hotel, there is confusion-and also fear. Many said they had neither money nor passports. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is assisting the group, and some are in touch with their lawyers back in the U.S.
The Ecuadorian man compared the situation to human trafficking, noting that the group had been forcibly deported.
"I'm here in a place where I can't do anything," he said. "I want to return to my country."
One Colombian woman said that all of their cases were complicated. "We don't know what will happen to us," she said.
For now, they remain in limbo-thousands of miles from home, in a country that is unfamiliar to them, where they are far from welcome and have little sense of what comes
next.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus

Heather Cox Richardson has a larger audience than almost any dudefluencer. More informed. Better values & policy preferences. And yet there are no profiles, no elevation or lionization, because there's *nothing* US media is less interested in than middle-aged lib women. No diner interviews for them.

yep. do you live here? I’ve lived in Evanston for years and watched Biss’s career. Hes a good progressive Dem. Not revolutionary but solid. I would guess he’ll be among the top 25 most progressive members of the house.

Clover @cloverdoggo.bsky.social · 19/03/2026
or i might even vote for a carpetbagger if they had a history of public service or leadership experience. Kat is a double-negative in those respects. And she ran against Biss, another strong progressive. Easy choice.

Clover @cloverdoggo.bsky.social · 19/03/2026
nope. but nice to know you can so easily read my mind. 🙄 I'm not strict in my voting. If a hypothetical candidate lacked experience but had a true longstanding connection to the district, they might earn my vote. Even more likely if they were running against corporatist or centrist dems.

As a Dawes parent myself, I was happy to see her and Biss working to combat ICE. I think she's courageous and a great media talent. I still think she's arrogant to think she should be our rep.

Clover @cloverdoggo.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
Wrong again. The debate was shifted by decades of right wing media, which laid the groundwork for candidates like MTG. Kat is brilliant at media! A true talent. She could do that and make a huge difference

Clover @cloverdoggo.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
Nope. Not the same. AOC lived in the district for a years before running. And she had worked in organizing and on politcal staff before running. she also ran against an entrenched corporatist. This was an open primary.

Clover @cloverdoggo.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
No. It’s not a media job. It’s a real job with real people to represent. Connections in the district matter. Leadership experience matters. a record of service matters. When you put media savvy above everything you get Matt Goetz and Marjorie Taylor greene. Good on TV. Bad at getting things done
