Massively important story. We’ll see how this goes, but Talarico isn’t within striking range because of some kind of heterodox move to the right. He’s making a strong, clear case for ideas that work better than plainly horrific Republican ones.

The Abbott campaign meltdown has begun. Two social media attacks on Gina Hinojosa in six hours after barely mentioning her before today. New polls drop and suddenly they’ve discovered she exists. Funny how that works.

It is insane we are now here. Our (former) best friends have to team up because we have a baby dictator who has no concept of thinking beyond himself. We are no longer a democratic and economic leader.

Iowa Democratic Candidate for Congress Sarah Trone Garriott capitulated over transgender sports participation. The attack ads have come for her anyway. There is no amount of being anti-trans that will satisfy Republicans and hateful people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

True to form, the anti-trans craze proved once again that it comes for all women, eventually. Trone Garriott’s decision to align herself with hate did not save her.

Folks have been sending me Susan Collins' anti-trans ad - Just remember that Donald Trump's power to build ballrooms, get bribes, and give corporations and billionaires control of our country is b/c of the Supreme Court justices she confirmed and her votes w/ Trump nearly 100% of the time.

Reactionary centrist pundits are begging Democrats to abandon transgender people. Under Starmer, Labour did that... with trans people suffering more under their rule than even under conservative governments. And it was all for nothing. Dems must not make Starmer's mistake. Read my latest.

Orban made grand appeals to “Christianity” and “Western Civilization,” but his “illiberal democracy” was just a scam, a way to make him and his buddies rich while subjecting Hungarians to stagnation and robbing them of their freedom. Sound familiar? (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Orbán rode to power on resentment over the economic stagnation that developed under center-left governments. But he leaves office with Hungarians facing falling wages and higher inflation than similar countries are experiencing. Orbán’s sectarianism and intolerance have sparked neither a religious revival nor a fertility bump; Hungary’s population is shrinking and has become more irreligious, even as Orbán has demonized LGBTQ people, “Muslim invaders,” and Jews. Orbánism, in short, did not make Hungarians more rich, Christian, or free—unless you happened to be one of Orbán’s buddies, in which case you may have gotten rich. As most Hungarians felt their economic circumstances worsen, Orbán provided them with relatively powerless targets to hate.
