One of the smartest ideas I've seen in the last few years is instead of trying to find "the Joe Rogan of the left," buy up the news sites of defunct papers and put some money into providing local news coverage in rural areas.

I'll be disappointed if Stevens wins, but mostly what you should take away from tonight is that the coalition really is divided between factions with lots of genuine support, we can't wish the other side away, and we're all going to have to learn to live with each other if we want to win.

i think the path of least resistance to universal coverage is a pincer movement (perhaps a…temporal pincer movement). you raise medicaid eligibility and lower medicare eligibility while also providing robust subsidies through obamacare. (de facto public option)

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers

Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and Staunch Trump Ally, Dies at 71
Mr. Graham died of a “brief and sudden” illness on Saturday evening, his office said. Over more than two decades in the Senate, he consistently pushed for the use of U.S. military power overseas.

Over his Senate career, Mr. Graham led two influential committees, Judiciary and Budget.

As head of the Judiciary Committee, he oversaw the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He also played a critical role during the 2016 fight over President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the court, aiding in Republicans’ success in blocking the pick.

More broadly, Mr. Graham was instrumental in advancing Mr. Trump’s effort to reshape the federal judiciary.
During his tenure at the helm of the committee, the Senate confirmed more than 200 federal judges, including Ms. Barrett, cementing one of the defining conservative judicial legacies of the Trump era.

As chairman of the Budget Committee, Mr. Graham played a central role in translating Mr. Trump’s domestic agenda into legislation. He oversaw the budget resolution that allowed Republicans to advance much of the president’s sweeping tax, immigration and spending package without support from Senate Democrats.

The effort required months of negotiations among warring factions within his party before the tax package became law last year. Mr. Graham, along with Republican leaders and the Trump administration, embraced budget reconciliation as the party’s primary vehicle for enacting Mr. Trump’s agenda at a time when Republicans lacked the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.

Those efforts became a defining accomplishment of Mr. Trump’s return to Washington with a Republican-controlled legislature, and highlighted not only the growing influence of Mr. Graham within his party but also his transformation from Trump critic into a steadfast and outspoken ally.

Hey, fellas, before you write that white hot take about how rape is such a tricky thing and, I mean, who can really say what happened and, you know, maybe we should not be too judgmental, I'd like to remind you that instead you can simply shut the fuck up.

And I’m just gonna say one other thing: “my journey is one of transformation” is what a narcissist says when they don’t want to be held accountable for their actions and the long line of victims in their wake. Imagine how that line would go over in front of a judge if he had been arrested for DV.

Today’s decision gutting the Voting Rights Act is a devastating reminder that if we want to create a fairer democracy - one where Republicans cannot silence entire communities - we need to elect and support state legislators in every state across the country. /1

JD Vance's speech in Hungary was widely mocked, and deservedly so. But I think it deserves our attention. As vile as he is, he made common cause with right-populists abroad. He laid out a vision of a shared international future. We shouldn't cede that turf. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2090...

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Tommy Tuberville, arguably the dumbest senator in US history, managed to delay some Biden nominees for a year by himself. 47 DEM senators are less effective at slowing the machine than a guy who probably has never read an entire book.

I hope one thing that’s becoming apparent with the folks who go after any actually successful progressive politician like AOC or Mamdani “from the left” is that they’re just wreckers; nobody will ever be “good” enough for them.
