Republicans spent the past year making choices on war, spending and energy, and voters are now footing the bill. Rather than own it, the party's answer so far has been deflection, denial and AI slop.

You never know the lasting impact of a kind word or small gesture…. My mother is a retired public school teacher. She was recently at the grocery store when a black lady came up and asked, “Aren’t you Mrs. —-“. Yes, she was. The lady then gave my momma a hug and took her back to 1970. Her first year

For some journalists, the entire world is just one big editorial game - just a competition of optics aimed at chasing engagement. These journalists are totally disengaged from reality. They have no concept of poverty and deprivation. No concept that governments actually affect people’s lives.

The Liberals and Greens appear to be heading in the same direction
Anthony Albanese promised to be "the adult in the room" and govern from the centre. But is that still the political mood as we enter the last part of 2026?

I’ve received seven applications for PhD supervision from “prospective students” in the past year that took me more than 10 minutes to identify as AI. Five took 15-30 minutes with background checks. One was sufficiently polished that I wrote back and suggested amendments to the initial proposal …

Disgusting. Trump says he feels bad for the seven Cornell students accused of rape, and his biggest worry is that they "won't get a fair shake" with Letitia James as special prosecutor.

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

Michael Tracey published what he said was the ID of the "Jane Doe" in the Cornell case. Then he took it down, claiming he just wanted to make a point and didn't want to see harm to the person he named. What he hasn't admitted is that he mistook info on a sketchy site for official NY court records.
An archived copy of Michael Tracey's original Substack post includes a screenshot from "eCourt Records" and the commentary: "It's [name redacted]. Don't blame me -- the New York Court System just posted it. Seemingly inadvertently. Oh well."Screenshot of Michael Tracey's post on Substack titled "Note on Jane Doe." It reads: "After identifying Jane Doe earlier tonight, I have now removed the information I published. Why? Because the principle has been served: to underscore that permanently anonymizing litigants who make sensational, spectacular, reputation-destroying claims about others — so long as they can self-declare some form of victimization — cannot be countenanced.

It’s destructive, and an egregious abuse of the legal system by huckster plaintiff’s lawyers. This practice has to end. Lawyers who seek to monetize this sleazy tactic should have to think A LOT HARDER about the claims they’re willing to throw out into the public domain, using impressionable clients who may not even know what they’re getting themselves into.

So why have I now removed her information?

Because I don’t believe she’s the main “villain” here. I primarily blame the bottom-feeding, media-manipulating, sleazebag lawyers who’ve made a whole cash-grab industry out of this racket.

Thomas Giuffra in particular has a lot to answer for. He’s the central reason for the current debacle.

Given the intense nationwide and global interest in this case, I don’t want to bring any further negative attention to this woman. I don’t believe she ought to be punished or subjected to any retribution or humiliation. I believe a RATIONAL solution is necessary here. Not more character assassination — of her, the seven young men, or anyone else. Truly, that is my genuine view."
