“He’s gotta resign. … We have to let our own people and everybody else know why it had to be done—because of what’s on the tape, because he lied.” — White House speechwriter Patrick J. Buchanan to White House chief of staff Alexander M. Haig, August 2, 1974

Hochul has been underwhelming a lot of the time (James is a rock star), but this is all just an important reminder of why we need women equally represented in leadership. The anger that Hochul and James brought to this was refreshing and few men could get there. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

With regard to the overt and jaw-dropping use of public money to manufacture and broadcast Trump politicals ads, I'm just spitballing here, but maybe, perhaps, if the U.S. Supreme Court didn't give the president blanket immunity from prosecution for crimes he wouldn't feel so comfortable criming.

We should have learned from Brexit; if you treat the propaganda and troll networks as a speech issue rather than a coercive and realtime security threat then the manipulation of the population will never end. Running factchecks isn’t enough; halting propaganda mills needs action.

I think Colbert has been using music in one of the most personal ways to engage with art, which is to allow it to reflect back your own feelings in a way that clarifies them. Your circumstances are new, but—in this case—your defiant frustration mixed with exuberance is legible to other people.
