Today is the launch of my new book, The Day After! My message is simple: Dems need to focus NOT on blind deference to institutions, but on delivering. The time has come for universal healthcare, Court expansion, a just economy, voting rights, and more. If you support that message, please order here:

We are spending an estimated $1B per day on the war on Iran. Now Trump and Co want an extra $200B from Congress to fund the war. But healthcare? Cut. Food stamps? Cut. Education? Cut. Cancer research? Cut. Environmental protections? Cut. And of course, taxes on the rich? Cut. It's obscene.

My godfather's primary source of news is CBS. He had no idea about the Ellisons, Bari Weiss, Tony Dokoupil, & the making of the new state media. He was skeptical of my take at first, but he watched Tony's debut as CBS Evening News anchor & called his show the "Pete Hegseth Show with Tony Dokoupil."

Much of the violent, racist rhetoric from the man arrested for allegedly threatening the life of Zohran Mamdani is almost indistinguishable from what top GOP politicians were saying in the days after Mamdani won the primary. (Also similar to what Girdusky said to me on CNN!)

There is literally no Western politician alive that I can think of that has incited more hate, bigotry, and violence than Donald Trump. That so many in our public life, in our 'liberal' media, have just memory-holed 10 years of nonstop incitement and abuse from him is shameful.

The Republican-led US government is throwing its full weight, at the federal and state levels, behind punishing teachers, soldiers, or immigrants for their speech about the killing of a conservative pundit. It's as absurd and laughable as it is dangerous and dystiopian.

Calling Mamdani, a naturalized US citizen, an ‘illegal’ is the obvious escalation from Trump. He faces little pushback from top Dems. How come no one has asked him why Melania never held that press conference on her questionable immigration status which she promised to do 9 years ago - and didn’t?

If any other president had threatened to prosecute a mainstream media outlet for simply reporting the news, if he had called their very act of reporting ‘illegal’, it would have been the biggest story in America for weeks. But with Trump…crickets. Including from the media itself that’s under threat!

The particulars: -25% increase in federal Medicaid share -exemption from SNAP work requirements & cost-sharing -more $ for Alaska clinicians -tax break for Alaska whalers & fishing villages -Hawaii gets some of these (as a "noncontiguous state") to get around Byrd rules prospect.org/politics/202...
The suite of perks is reminiscent of the “Cornhusker Kickback,” an increase to Nebraska’s federal Medicaid funding in the Affordable Care Act designed to influence then-Sen. Ben Nelson, a Democrat. But Murkowski is winning not only a Medicaid boost for her state, but a half-dozen other things. It’s not one but several kickbacks in the bill, none of which will definitively stay in, as the parliamentarian will have to scrub the text. (Nelson gave up the kickback and still voted for the ACA, incidentally.)
