Granted, I don’t follow Ezra Klein closely, but it seems like he never revisited any of the assumptions he was making when he participated in the attempted martyrdom of Charlie Kirk. He never thought to himself “gee, I wonder why this opinion didn’t go over well, maybe I was wrong about things”

you have to understand that shitty Ezra Klein take in this context too; he was attempting to climb onboard what he believed to be a cultural bandwagon.

I think it is really important for us to understand just how big of a defeat the We Are All Charlie Kirk thing was, because I don't feel like there has been much writing about the larger meaning of it

Cookie update. He is such a sweetheart. Very accepting of his indoor life. Seems ready to become a mushy household love bug. Not quite there yet. Still working on a March vet appointment for him. Still separated for now. Just set up a tv for him with an eagle cam. He's not interested. Love you all 🩷

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 23/02/2026
"Platner’s meteoric rise reflects a growing frustration with the Democratic establishment and voters’ interest in a new generation of leaders. He is campaigning not just against Collins but against a “billionaire class,” running a campaign in the style of Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who endorsed him."

There is one basic rule of modern warfare. The more you fight with machinery/equipment and the less you fight with human beings, the more modern you are. If you are having to rush human soldiers to the front, its because you are less modern.

Americans voted to bring back measles. Wasn’t front of mind for most voters, sure, but the pro-measles contingent was a key part of the Trump 2024 coalition, with RFK Jr. and “MAHA” possibly the margin of victory in a close race. Vaccines were on the ballot. The plurality was anti- or didn’t care.

Media is doing the credulous "new tone" thing again—as with Trump on Russia-Ukraine—presenting BS about MN/Good/Pretti/ICE as sincere. But as @gregsargent.bsky.social argues, govt actions matter more, and Trump's rhetorical shift is an effort to maintain the brutal ICE/BP campaign, not curb it.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/ (New piece) newrepublic.com/article/2057...
