Ken Paxton keeps dodging debates. So I called his cell to invite him to a debate on Fox News. He didn’t pick up.

Been listening to the great andrewhickey.500songs.com podcast all summer and keep remembering the perfect line from Kate McKinnons music execs character in “Yesterday” (fantastic movie!) trying to sign the latest hot artist - “We are going to make a LOT of money and give you some of it.”

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

Here’s how Trump 2.0 pressers go: Trump, VP, press sec, etc stand there and lie the entire time. Reporters just move on to the next question. They lie again and reporters move onto the next question again. And then ask about ‘sauerkraut’. Pathetic…

1. Regular readers know I used to talk a lot about conservatism, fascism, authoritarianism, totalitarianism – all those multi-syllabic schools of thought that attempt to explain politics in America today. But I don't talk about them in depth these days. I have come to a conclusion.

Mamdani is great, but what's amazing about this is how it's the lowest-hanging fruit imaginable and people who do politics for a living seem to be totally blindsided by how effective it really does seem like it is, act like he must have sold his soul to access this eldritch knowledge.

Six months after Trump and House Republicans dragged us into a reckless war with Iran, Americans are still paying the price. They promised a “total and complete victory.” Instead, gas prices are above $4/gallon, there's no end in sight, and House Republicans keep falling in line to fund it.

This is what the other side does. They don't give a shit if it's about "kitchen table issues." They don't give a shit if it "matters" in some high-minded way. They just know it bugs the shit out of the other side so they wear it out. Let's do that for once.

We need journalists asking Trump, "what does Melanie think about Natalie? Are you concerned about how it appears?" We need late night comics making "natalie" a synonym for being an incontinent old fart in need of a sex nanny. We need characters on "Real Housewives" making casual natalie references.

Just weighing in from vacation to note the obvious: Ossoff's use of "Natalie" in that address was a brilliant way to play the attention economy. It works *because* it drew controversy -- by drawing controversy, it drew eyeballs & ears to a story Trump doesn't want in the news.

My only comment about Woke 1 vs Woke 2 is that neither of these things is real &, for the thousandth time, we don’t have to frame <every topic in American politics> on the terms of the far right authoritarian party & right-wing pundits. Other, more serious choices are readily available:

Long thread, really only relevant to you if you're very familiar with Jackson Brown's album "Running on Empty" (the masterpiece of an album documenting life on the road with a touring band). Specifically the song "The Load Out / Stay". If you're not, this will be a boring story for you./

I agree strongly with this -- in that difficult moment, the possibility of collective effort was conceivable. Not everybody felt it, but many did. I think the political class did not like this one bit.
