The point of spectacles like this is not to deter terrorists; it is to debase the population. They want us cruel and vulgar, or at the very least, numb to cruelty and vulgarity.

CNN on the last jobs report before the midterms: "It came in cold -- surprisingly cold. Job growth weaker than expected, unemployment unexpectedly went up, and paychecks aren't keeping up with prices. This was disappointing all around."

Republican headliner JD Vance lied to a crowd in Council Bluffs, Iowa, today, telling them that Trump banned Wall Street from buying up everyone's homes.  FACT: Donald Trump refused to sign the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, so it became law WITHOUT his signature on July 11, 2026.

It's crazy to me that this is not leading the New York Times, NBC News, CNN, etc. If you're that numb, maybe think about a field other than journalism.

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

Opinion | Iran’s Hormuz deal with Oman has Trump poised for the big surrender
Nicholas Grossman: Trump started bombing Iran again to keep it from having control over the Strait of Hormuz. That gambit failed — again.

Just 10 billionaires have already poured over $600 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

A reminder that in many states, after every election, bipartisan officials conduct a hand audit of a random sample of paper ballots. A hacked election in those places would mean confusion, not an altered result. Republican election officials must be seething tonight.

"I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you." The clear point is that Republicans have turned Congress into an body that does not engage in oversight, that operates to protect the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends.

Today is a reminder that except for a brief period running roughly from Brown v. Board to Roe v. Wade, throughout its history the Supreme Court has been a reactionary force protecting the wealth of the wealthy and the power of the powerful, almost always hostile to equality and justice.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.
Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010
