Truth matters. Repeating a lie doesn’t make it the truth.

Once again, this was how the Economist characterized the American economy on Election Day in 2024. We had a country on the brink of stunning success, but the Republicans knee-capped it with trade wars and real wars of their own choosing.

What they should have written: The Trump administration is developing an arguably illegal plan to take money from a fund that Congress established to help working parents afford quality child care and give it to married couples with a stay-at-home spouse instead.

Head Start is an important part of the education system. It’s not perfect (what is?), but having access to teachers & lessons & other children helps children from low income families get started in ways their families just don’t have time/energy/money for. It’s truly positive!

Here Tim and Sam rank the worst members of Trump's Cabinet. They have a few differences of opinion, and several of you have asked me for an authoritative ranking. Happy to oblige. The Worst of the Worst 1. Hegseth 2. Mullin 3. Blanche 4. RFK 5. Rubio www.thebulwark.com/p/sam-stein-...

I got emotional all over again watching that clip from 2023. We say we want fighters. This is what a fighter looks like. Someone willing to speak up for people, confront power, and say what needs to be said when others won’t. This is bravery.

"What we can do now is to check the injustice and limit the damage. We can pressure our representatives not to confirm someone like Todd Blanche and not to fund an agency like ICE. We can demonstrate love for our country by working to make it far less ugly." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Don’t spread disinformation! The California process is the same as it’s always been. This process has elected both Republicans and Democrats. It’s not cheating—it’s just slow.

An audit-immunity provision showed just how far the administration was willing to go.

we don't have a masculinity crisis. we have a patriarchy crisis. patriarchy creates and sustains male unhappiness with its dogmatic, toxic, rigid definition of masculinity which says the worst and most undesirable thing a human can be is female which is how we get insults like "Low-T Talarico"

There is no world in which this is okay.     Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 🧵

Samuel Alito’s Son Has Been Quietly Working for Trump’s Treasury Department
Philip Alito has been working as an attorney with the Treasury’s office of the general counsel for months even as the Supreme Court takes up cases involving the department.

It’s an egregious misuse of (former) power. Cuba is not a part of the U.S. imperialism is a terrible system of ego & control & should absolutely not be revived.

He just doesn’t seem to care that the logic (& facts—what restaurants require ID??) fails. The Acting Attorney General of the United States of America doesn’t care if his argument is logical or true.

This is the correct way of referring to adding justices to the SCOTUS. Dems need to learn how to frame a movement positively before the right frames it for them in a negative light. Modernizing by right-sizing the SCOTUS to reflect the now 13 circuits is necessary for overall balance and fairness.

Studies have shown that "Reporters frequently distance male perpetrators from their violence by presenting a range of circumstances that are interpreted as relating to or having caused their violence, including mental illness, substance abuse, financial difficulties, and criminal
reputation".

According to a California survey of stories of domestic violence, survivors are very rarely. quoted.

What happens when the woman doesn't survive to tell her own story?
