Don't set aside moral judgment when covering obvious lies.

Shouldn't we just refer to AI as Big Data just like Big Pharma and BIg Tobacco?

Y’all might get disagree, but I’m for this. Proportional representation: Based on recent voting patterns, Dems in Okla could earn closer to 2 of their 5 seats instead of none. Meanwhile, Republicans in Mass could win closer to 3 of their 9 seats instead of none. medium.com/@scholars-re...

Letter to Congress: End the Redistricting Wars by Adopting Proportional Representation

Unless we’re gonna dismantle the healthcare insurance company complex, this is a smart approach. “Kim’s ultimate goal is to have members of his party think bigger and more realistically about the drive to achieve the elusive Democratic dream of universal health care.”

I don't think the problem is that the Court is giving the President "the benefit of the doubt"; the problem is that the Court is okay with the President's racism. It's also a problem that some commentators are giving *the Court* the benefit of the doubt, for sure. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/u...

My friend Rakeen nails this political moment for the Left. “This is an opportunity for us to use the resonant affordability frame to tackle the very rules that have allowed Trump’s power grab in the first place.”

Leading Democrats should point to how his dementia has affected the war in Iran and call on him to resign for the good of the country. He won't resign, but calling on him to do so would get a conversation going that he can only make worse for himself.

Spain’s economic boom helped create a housing crisis. How on brand for me to be planning a move there when voters may want to throw out a progressive who appears to be doing the right thing! www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Spanish Exception

The country’s leaders avoided a populist backlash by engineering an economic boom. Now the boom is creating problems of its own.

In Callais, Justice Alito doubles down on the spurious argument from the early SCOTUS decision in Shelby County that discrimination is no longer a problem in the South because the racial turnout gap has closed. That is flatly wrong. /1

Stop Pretending Chatbots Have Feelings: Media's Dangerous AI Anthropomorphism Problem

When AI causes harm, headlines blame the bot instead of the billion-dollar companies that built them. This anthropomorphic coverage is tech journalism at its worst.

“The United States itself is at risk of being turned into a military dictatorship. Its liberal-democratic institutions have all but crumbled. The Founders’ experiment may be coming to an end. War with Iran is likely to hasten its demise.” www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

American Democracy Might Not Survive a War With Iran

The United States is well down the road to dictatorship. Imagine what Trump would do with a state of war.

I recently paid $42 for 2 beers at a Wizards game. That's insane! Luckily, there's a solution to this kind of price gouging in the form of "street pricing" policies where publicly financed stadiums & airports are only allowed to charge a comparable amount to what you'd pay outside the venue.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Protecting IRS funding also forces tax cheats to contribute their share: “Providing the IRS with enough funds to enforce our nation’s tax code isn’t just about fairness and revenue. It’s also vital to the efficiency and productivity of our economy.”

Opinion: The IRS faces more cuts under Trump. Here are three ways that could hurt the economy

Donald Trump's election with Republican majorities in Congress likely means less funding for tax enforcement. That will hurt economic productivity and efficiency.

So @dahlialithwick.bsky.social nails it: “We can continue to direct our fury & umbrage at the clickbait corporate media & the social media…algorithms that have built the bubbles. Or we can ask ourselves what matters to us, & why we aren’t seeing it & how we might find it.” slate.com/business/202...

Wins for Oppenheimer and Godzilla Minus One mean this is the first time a movie and its sequel both won Oscars the same year.
