And there it is, a move to steal elections our in Georgia. It's a desperation play, and will almost certainly backfire...but it shows how committed MAGA forces are about thwarting the impending Democratic majority in Congress and takeover of state offices.

The Trump DOJ keeps violating the law & keeps losing in the courts. So now they’re filing judicial misconduct complaints against judges they don’t like, even Trump appointees. I call out Todd Blanche for his rank hypocrisy as he runs around the country in partisan events. youtu.be/nZ_nR2s-ReU?...

We won't know the full cost of the debacle for years - but we do know the military has been attacked by its civilian leadership from within, even as it has been thrown into a war of choice that had decimated much of our military infrastructure. It is a massive disaster.

The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

The US military has many types of institutions within it. In addition to the armed services, it also has a media and educational wing. Hegseth's assault on all these institutions shows how authoritarians operate. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/which-stor...

I’m confused. Trump lies about Democrats being communists because commies are bad. But he likes North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, a murderous communist dictator, and calls him a “friend.” Make it make sense.

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

This is the most important thing men can do, and they must be doing it immediately. People create culture. People can change it. If you can't remember the last time you created some social awkwardness by telling another man to stop with that shit, you probably aren't pulling your weight.

Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

Today’s media in a nutshell: The Boston Globe gets lucky with a viral piece about a lesbian bar in Greenfield, MA. The only ostensible purpose of the piece is to mock marginalized people in return for subscriptions. The Globe then runs the viral piece as an advertisement on the cesspool at X.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
