if texas goes the way it seems increasingly possible it might in november, we gotta talk about the political inbreeding that thirty years of single-party rule results in, and how that leaves that party with candidates who are utterly ill-equipped for a real general election

“Why shouldn’t I custom-generate all of my child’s media?” Because the point of children’s literature, music, art, and movies is not to optimize leisure time, it is to provide your children with cultural, emotional, societal, and epistemic touch points via which they can relate to the wider world.

It's insane how Trump just constantly falls asleep now in almost every situation, and we talked about Biden's mental fitness nearly nonstop for four years.

If Columbia and NYU are now private fortresses that the community can’t access, they should pay property taxes. Actually they should have been doing that anyway, but the jig is so up.

Bouie is 100% correct here. The goal for Democrats should be to grind the Trump administration to a halt and prompt Trump officials to abandon their posts in humiliation and despair.
