Definitely click through on this story for the quotes from the Third Way spokesperson, who AGREED Democratic candidates should NOT adopt Republican language on trans issues. I was floored - even tried to get Billie to put it in the headline. This is not just analysis, these quotes are news.

GOP Senator Gets a Scolding After Telling Jack Smith ‘You Make Me Want to Throw Up In My Mouth’

Rep. Greg Murphy on Republicans' pitch to voters: "I'm betting on the understanding of the American people that tough times need to be gone through to get to good times"

Mamdani on what he was thinking about while he stared off into space as Trump ranted and raved next: "In that moment, I'm just thinking about 12,000 homes, 30,000 jobs, largest housing development since the early 1970s... we also spoke about Haitian NYers... they're a part of the fabric of the city"

Dr. Oz is on my flight right now. He is sitting in the very first seat, front row. I saw him get on the plane. So when I stepped off the jetway onto the plane I approached him and put my hand out. What the man in charge of healthcare for the people on the very margins of society said…was revealing

I think Nikole Hannah-Jones' followup NYTimes magazine feature on her daughter's education and the Boston Globe story on the lesbian bar are both about people trying to make a series of choices in response to systemic problems and government policies which often punish Black and disabled people.

The speed with which Sanders transitioned from "we must keep Biden as the nominee" to "the party abandoned working people" was dizzying.

Leftists were broadly shockingly happy with Biden until Gaza, although dissatisfaction with his immigration policy was mounting. But on economic policy, people were unironically calling him the best president of our lifetime.
