Yes! We need another New Deal! “[I]ncrease the supply of housing and of capable caregivers, make sure Social Security doesn’t go bankrupt and make our health care system more efficient. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/o...

CBPP exposes politicians’ prioritizing the greedy over the needy.

Every Right Wing Goverment ever.

Trump’s gratuitously conceding that Russia & China might be helping Iran, albeit at a “very low level,” seems desperate. Perhaps, non-MAGA Republicans in tight races told him he’s approaching a red line beyond which they’d have to publicly rebuke him. If so, he’ll probably have to walk back further.

“Even in the absence of a conviction, the impeachment process is a valuable political tool. It underscores, for the public, the simple fact that the president is unfit to serve.” Trump won’t stop. Republicans won’t help. Impeach. Hold a Senate vote. Trust the public www.nytimes.com/2026/10/10/o...

Very proud boyfriend. People Magazine has the trailer exclusive for A Very Merry Breakup, my girlfriend’s directorial debut. You can also preorder the film today! I’ll share details in the thread.

“Our moral instincts may want to keep humans in the loop, but our competitive instincts won’t..Why are we building these systems[:] to make life better for humans.” Musk’s hagiographer says fully autonomous AGI would make life worse. Musk diabolically disagrees. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/o...

NYT’s Cottle on Cornell “[W]e can go to the president for this..We’re in a moment in this culture where..mistreating women is..making you a cool kid..It’s a fundamental disrespect for women..[a] misunderstanding about what women are there for and whether this is a real person you are dealing with.”

Everyone learned the difference between the Hawks and the Hawkeyes. Far fewer heard what #JackSmith actually told the Senate: that his team had developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Donald Trump committed serious crimes. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

It’s so weird. I feel compelled to share this. I feel like sharing this with someone close to me who will appreciate it the same way I do, but I can’t think of anyone close to me who would. So, I’m quote-posting here. After all, I found it on Bluesky, as I’ve found so many treasures. May you find it

I need to stay positive & surprisingly this piece helped. I’ll let you read it & judge for yourselves but I feel like I got a fair account of an Alaskan who is popular enough & experienced enough & could well be a reliable enough vote for Dems in the Senate. Positive! www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/u...

my takeaway from this is that she is thinking of these things in the right terms. she is asking whether she truly wants to do it since, if the answer is yes, it is absolutely the case that there is no better time than now.

If you don't mind, I'm going to do a little political organizing here. If this gets to, say, ten million hearts, the message could have a discernible effect on defeating fascism before it devours us. Pls forward.

If there exists an anti-Vance faction in the GOP that was counting on Rubio, to whom will they turn now?

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

Got 'em: The @thebulwark.com added an editor's note to the review, acknowledging that the author's direct affiliation with the Foundation for American Innovation ("the foundation shaping the tech right," according to Inc.) created a conflict that should have been forthrightly disclosed.

Yes! As @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social is all over Bluesky telling us what we want to hear, instead of waiting in vain for him to ask for our forgiveness for his part in delegitimizing the Republican Party, we should ignore him. It’s not the Dems’ fault our best case scenario is a one-party system.

This is an adapted excerpt from Hot Type about Mark Twain's efforts to build a business model for book publishing at scale. Newspapers and magazines were similarly adrift; for that--and much more Twain--you'll need to buy the book. 😎 jeffjarvis.com

This is genius! We can now attribute every one of his posts on Truth Social to Trump AND Harp! This is guaranteed to ruin posting for Trump. He hates to share the spotlight AND he won’t have an unnamed staffer to blame when even some Republicans are forced to repudiate the most offensive posts.

The problem is inequality and corruption, not government debt deanbaker22.substack.com/p/confusion-...

“[A]nother shoe [has] drop[ped] in the Kafkaesque nightmare that our precedents have been steadily creating." Supreme Court Justice Jackson Our only hope is to vote for Democrats in the midterms. A massive Dem majority in Congress could protect us from the other two Branches & we’ll hold them to it

AOC had no problem kicking fellow New Yorker, Crowley, to the curb. She could do the same to fellow New Yorker, Jeffries. And, if Heaven smiles upon us, and Trump and Vance are impeached and convicted in close-enough succession, Speaker AOC would ascend to the presidency!

Dems, seize the bully pulpit! “Insisting on Republican cooperation before attempting to mete out accountability [risks]…look[ing] complicit…Dem[s should]…catalog the…insanities[.]…If you knew the country was in danger, wouldn’t you want to be able to say you did everything you could to protect it?”

Today’s the day! Read this book!!

Yes! And not only did he call for Trump’s impeachment, he called for Vance’s impeachment, too. Honestly, if we can survive until the start of the new & Democratically-led House of Representatives next January, Republicans could (and should) finally do the right thing by enabling President Jeffries!

i've been covering national security for decades, on and off. i've never heard of anything like this. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Anyway, I made a reading list in public. I try to avoid doing that. The Twitter “syllabus” wars scarred me. It’s gonna be a touchy few days.

Oh, it's bad. He doesn't say Blanche is pulled, but, he does. I think the only fair reading of this is that Trump is not willing to let Blanche back down on the audit immunity.

LBJ chose not to seek reelection. Nixon turned over the damning evidence & resigned. This is infinitely worse! A living nightmare! All but the ignorant & insane know Trump must be ousted ASAP! We’re living in “The Emperor’s New Clothes” & we can’t escape! The center that can’t hold is holding!

to keep functioning, a society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

I highly recommend listening to the new podcast show “It’s a Superpower??” by The Daily Tism! Episode one hooked me right way! I want to be among the characters. Each one intrigues me & I loved their uniting against someone who deserved it. There’s a very cool twist at the end & stay for outtakes!

This is an critically important thread! Without Republicans’ controlling Congress & letting Trump do whatever he wants, he wouldn’t have been able to abuse his power & enrich himself, his family & his co-conspirators who seek to become oligarchs. We must vote only for Democrats this November!

“Not to enable the poor to share in our goods is to steal from them and deprive them of life. The goods we possess are not ours, but theirs.” (St John Chrysostom, from the Homilies on Lazarus and the Rich Man)

Please read this whole thread. It won’t be pleasant, but, when you get to the part near the end that I’m quote-posting, you may feel the eternal ember of beautiful truth in your heart and resist succumbing to thinking hell is other people. You may even risk sharing that truth with a boss or investor
