"Isn't she a fresh person?" "Fresh"? Seriously?
😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?
Finished the second season last night of The Undeclared War on Peacock, and it seems like...um, the writers must have plagiarized their story from real life. apple.news/Azh6OpqmZTv6...
When the Democrats retake the House, all of that should happen--and Hakeem Jeffries, who met with this belly-crawler for no good reason, should NOT be the Speaker of the House. Hakeem Jeffries proved, when he met with Jared Kushner, that he fundamentally does not understand what his job is.
This guy needs to go to jail. He needs to be questioned, under oath, then indicted, then tried, then jailed.

Watching the interviews this clown is giving on his book tour, I’m deeply impressed by his cowardice, his poor grasp of the responsibilities of his job, and the total absence of personal accountability his “insights” consistently betray. He has taken up space in the Senate for too long.
Sen. Thom Tillis says he expects there will be pressure on Mike Johnson to not seat the new Congress if Democrats win

To say that this is “on the nose” is to understate the degree to which the cartilage, nostrils, and entire sinus cavity of the nation have been utterly crushed by the naked psychological debility of this desperately overmatched and insecure man.
White House Compares Trump ‘Love Me’ Ad to PSAs on Health, Wartime
When your policies need to be sane-washed by a guy with a squeegee and a bucket of day-old vomit.
JD Vance: "I think we all have to accept that so long as the Iranians are trying to terrorize international shipping -- we of course are gonna try to push back against that -- but that is why gas prices are so high"
Dude. "Take issue with the premise"? The president set "the premise." He called it a "ban on the free press." You need to sue your middle school debate coach for malpractice.
JD Vance defends Trump's ban on the free press: "They're just not going to get an office in the White House anymore, and I think it's totally appropriate -- unless of course they start to behave like real news organizations"

People saying "transgender ideology" in 2026 sound like people saying "race-mixing ideology" in 1956, and their kids and grandkids will feel embarrassment at their feckless cowardice.
Marcy Kaptur is the incumbent with a 5 point polling lead so I must assume she put out this ad because this is what she believes.

Moxon is brilliant here. Consciously or not, he's advancing a very productive understanding of politics as rhetoric. Today the word rhetoric is usually meant pejoratively as mere verbal ornamentation or bs. But behind the word lies a 2,500 year-old discipline dedicated to the art of persuasion.
Almost nothing is more important than persuasion. Which is why it has been so diluted, corrupted, bastardized, and captured within mainstream circles. Every act is persuasive to different people of different things. It’s not just words; it’s how you show up. www.the-reframe.com/us-and-them/
Hakeem Jeffries should never again be chosen to serve in a leadership position. He should just resign now. By meeting with Jared Kushner, he demonstrated a fundamental misunderstanding as to what his job is as minority leader.
Jeffries defends his meeting with Kushner: "I'm of the view that if we're going to be committed to actually solving problems on behalf of the American people ... they're are gonna be times that you have to speak with people on the other side of the aisle. Even people you strongly disagree with."

READ: If you read (& perhaps clutched your pearls over) that Tyler Austin Harper piece in The Atlantic about DEI and Bates College, then I hope you’ll have the integrity to read this rejoinder by Andrew Baker, a Black male professor who preceded Harper at Bates. open.substack.com/pub/thedrift...
I heard Maggie Haberman refer to Natalie as Trump’s binky. For which Haberman deserves Pulitzer.
I don't think the Natalie stuff is sex, I think it's just *deeply weird* and that's what has everyone leaking about it--if it were sex, that's something people could understand and even rationalize. Instead, they're in the uncanny valley of relationships and everyone in the WH is squicked out.

I feel like you could run a saw-scaled viper against this man, and all you’d need to spend would be the cost of the snake’s travel cage to win the Dem primary. He’s gotta be planning a party switch.
CNN: Are you definitely going to run for reelection? FETTERMAN: I've already essentially announced that
Can we just agree that Ezra’s like the Broadway producer’s precocious nephew who gets to tap dance at the pretty parties because no one has the nerve not to clap? So tired of this guy.
As an American history professor, I regularly read new books, articles, and dissertations, and also evaluate unpublished manuscripts for journals and book publishers. I would not categorize the recent and emerging historiography in the binary way that Ezra Klein does.
