If we’re willing to organize and mobilize, if we’re willing to turn out in big numbers in Ohio and across this country, if we’re willing to vote for change and vote for Democrats up and down the ballot, then this election might just mark the moment this country began moving in a better direction.

Valkyries are like the villain in a horror movie. They keep coming at you. No let up. Relentless. The creativity of the Bay embodied. The values of the Bay embodied. The quiet toughness of the Bay embodied. BALLHALLA will be lit in the finals. S.F. will be at its best in the finals. 💜⚔️🌁

I do appreciate that Newsom's making sure he's terrible on a wide range of issues so it's extremely easy to wave away anyone trying to pretend he's The One We Need.

The Kennedy Center was financially stable until Trump took over: "In the fiscal year ending in 2024, when the center was led by President Deborah Rutter and a bipartisan board of trustees, it brought in about $40 million more than it spent" www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

Correction: A company marketing a cartoon character obtained the cooperation of an opportunistic journalist for an infomercial, and it failed.

BREAKING: We won! And we get discovery into this crazy demolition threat to boot. Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social and to my colleagues at DDF and WLG. Formal statement to follow.

I am fascinating by the ongoing Ed Sheeran story and the way it strikes right at the heart of the fading viability of "Oh, I don't do politics."

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Page Six Reports is a beautiful name for a little monster

Oil prices, higher interest rates, and AI concerns/outrage feel like issues the admin never had to deal with pre-2026 and doesn’t have a handle on.

this is the kind of design costume designers make to tell you who are the bad guys in a space movie

From watching Venus Williams and Camila Osorio practice to meeting the workers who make it all possible — the final day of US Open Fan Week was unforgettable. I’m grateful to USTA & everyone behind the scenes at Fan Week for giving New Yorkers public, affordable access to world-class tennis.

"There’s never been a better time to keep the 'watch what they do, not what they say' maxim in mind... Those who want to know what the administration will actually do would be wise to remember that Trump is an unreliable narrator of his own team’s plans." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.

Thank you Empire State Building. NYC ❤️ Dolly.

One thing these losers at LCR (I'm trying to be kind) never talk about in the press is exact membership numbers. They're tiny. The attention they get is because some members of the press insist on believing that they're interesting contrarians, not selfish dolts. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/u...

The saddest news about perhaps our most beloved entertainer. It is a consolation, at least, that she lived long enough to know how fully and widely she was adored. RIP Dolly Parton, always loved. people.com/dolly-parton...

Not to beat up on Douthat even more, but I'll just say: it has never, in all of post-war American history, been more crystal clear exactly who your enemy should be. Never. If it's not obvious to you, you are morally & intellectually defective.

In July, on ABC, CBS, and NBC, there were 194 segments on the extreme heat waves rolling across the US. Number that mentioned climate change: 0.

Mamdani criticizes Netanyahu. Later, a crazy man stabs a Jewish man and an Asian man. And we get an article suggesting that while one stabbing (dismissed in six words) is just a shrug, the other implicates the mayor. Disgraceful framing. Shame on everyone involved. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/n...

Booing Donald Trump is the closest thing to a national anthem for the world.

Australian broadcaster on hot mic after Trump crashes Spain’s World Cup trophy presentation: “They’re gonna edit him out of that”

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Whatever norms make Dems feel compelled to post this drivel went out the window 10 years ago. If, for whatever reason, you want to send condolences to his loved ones, you can do that privately. We truly do not need to do this performative shit anymore.

i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious

Disappointed to learn that so many of my friends, avowed leftists and Democratic Socialists, have been having secret phone conversations with Mitch McConnell. Do better.

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

America turns 250 today. To mark the occasion, join the Obama Presidential Center Grand Opening Ceremony rewatch party. Join us now:

It is the dawn of a new era. Hear our battle anthem. Welcome to the new InfoWars.

I'll just add that between handwringing Dem centrists and young Dem-adjacent socialists is a large group I would label "self-described liberals who are enraged/sick of this crap" and are ready to vote left/progressive. Don't underestimate them. And FFS don't scold them; they're also sick of that.

This is pretty much it.

The Buttigiegs have experienced a nightmare that should never have happened at all. I hope whoever is responsible is found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Technically, they’re Remains now.

Primarying incumbents is exactly how the system is supposed to work. Every two years, we get to decide, is this the best congressman for us or is there someone better? It should happen all the time. If it did, we’d have a more engaged electorate and a more engaged Congress.

Michelle and I had fun surprising the first group of visitors to the Obama Presidential Center on Juneteenth. Come check it out!

Science! 🙋🏻‍♂️

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

The only truly consistent thing about Trump is that he will inevitably make fools of everyone who supports him.

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter
