Also, rural homelessness is SURGING, but that fact doesn’t fit the cities-are-hellscape narratives the Right/GOP push. So we barely hear about it. My friend and co-author @paulwaldman.bsky.social and I discuss this in White Rural Rage.

It seems like identifiable members of the Supreme Court actively helping one political party to choose its voters to maximal electoral advantage should be a bigger scandal

Went to repost this and then depressingly saw it was from 8 months ago. This is still true, and I am now convinced it will remain true until there are successful primary challenges nationwide to the "roll over and play dead" Dems.

Most Americans agree: release the Epstein files, protect the victims, and hold those in the files accountable. Do not let politicians turn this into a Democrat vs. Republican issue, it’s not. They love to do that when Americans agree on something.

This week, there were 7 confirmation votes in the Senate. And after millions and millions of people showed up over the weekend at #HandsOff events around the world, 18 Democrats joined with Republicans to confirm 5 of those nominees. Someone explain it to me like I'm 5.

A graphic from Indivisible with a red background and bold white text reads: “This week, 18 Democrats joined Republicans to confirm 5 Trump nominees.” Below that, the names and states of the 18 Democrats are listed: Bennet (CO), Coons (DE), Fetterman (PA), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Hickenlooper (CO), Kaine (VA), Kelly (AZ), King (ME), Klobuchar (MN), Ossoff (GA), Peters (MI), Reed (RI), Rosen (NV), Shaheen (NH), Slotkin (MI), Warner (VA), and Warnock (GA).

In the Nuremberg judges trial, the judges who helped grease the wheels of Nazi atrocities argued that they were just applying the horrific law, and should not be held accountable. Roberts, Gorsuch, Alito, Kavanaugh, and Thomas don’t even have that excuse. They’re making up their own horrific law.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

4 years of lying to US about the state of the economy (telling US it sucked when it rocked), combined with amplifying Trump’s lies about his policies (saying there were pro-working families when they were not), and now this: economy was great under Biden & Trump is ruining it! NYT is vile.

I never understand the argument that Democrats shouldn’t show up for a fight. The SOTU is an opportunity to make news—to change the way people think about us and about Trump, to highlight how he’s hurting people, and to show we’re ready to fight. Show up and fight!

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
