It is, ultimately, damaging your ability to accomplish things long term or to win elections long term because you assume that you can't change the framing of the conversation even though changing the framing is a tool that's right there for you to grasp. It's incompetence. Malpractice.

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

You should read every word of this piece. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/m...

🚨🚨🚨 Meta just took down the No Kings instagram page with 3000 events happening around the country today

I'm going to say one more thing about this. A meta-thing, if you will. I think legal commentators with elite legal backgrounds (all of them, not just Steve) need to reckon with the fact that they have a personal interest in maintaining the panache of their credentials.

This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Minnesotans were changed forever. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process.

This is disgusting. Shame on everyone involved.

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Imagine leading the highest court in the land and during your tenure the institution goes from the most respected to half the population wants to reform you.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Jane Doe, you are remarkably brave. I wish you didn’t have to be. “I am Jane Doe.” Do not let them doxx Jane Doe. If you see their name, you did not. Do not punish the victim. I stand with survivors. You will not take away their power. We believe you.

My reaction was lol, who's that, spit out my bite of food laughing. What a clown show.

Hegseth: "Project Meridian will be co-led by three of our nation's best minds: Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich"

If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.

I don't think we disdain the center-right enough. First, they rode nativist populist tigers to power to get their tax cuts and deregulation; Then, they lost control of their own parties to those tigers; Now, they sit in lucrative jobs as columnists writing about how it's all the left's fault.

NEW: Our analysis found that from 2020 to 2025, the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies nearly doubled compared with the previous six-year period. The uptick was steeper in states with abortion bans.

And this is why we need comedians (his name is Clayton English)

“Steinem made my life better. Yes, my life as a cis hetero male. I couldn’t have my career and my life without the professional women I’ve learned from, worked with, and worked for.” — Elie Mystal @elienyc.bsky.social Ditto.

When he goes, all bets are off: America will be at the mercy of warring factions who will deploy the coercion and bribery that turned Big Tech into Trump's geopolitical weapon in order to achieve their own purposes - which might well be even stupider, crueler and more unhinged than Trump's. 50/

1. Regular readers know I used to talk a lot about conservatism, fascism, authoritarianism, totalitarianism – all those multi-syllabic schools of thought that attempt to explain politics in America today. But I don't talk about them in depth these days. I have come to a conclusion.

someone could do a “after moulton rebuke, centrists face growing pressure to retreat from extreme right-wing positions on gender conformity” number that would be fun

Almost every week, we see a liberal writer condemn “wokeism” or the “woke. . .” They are attacking a caricature, a perversion, a distortion of a historically Black concept that MAGA propagandists first distorted. These people are not serious thinkers.

At some point those of us in the pro-democracy movement need to stop worrying about Donald Trump and Republicans attacking us over false claims of voter fraud. Instead we need to take steps to protect and expand voting rights and let Trump call us names.

Right wingers - unless you live in abject poverty, you have no right to complain about the inherent unfairness of the system. But if you live in abject poverty it's purely because of your own poor choices.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

The Supreme Court is not being obtuse. They're being evil. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

in a world of JK Rowlings be a Dolly Parton

I can’t overstate how much the NDA thing has pissed off regular people. I even hear it at public hearings places where the local pols haven’t signed NDAs. What we are seeing is people workshop a new language about political obligation & corruption. “NDAs“ are shorthand and placeholder

My response to JD Vance saying we should "have a little bit of perspective" on ICE murdering a young father

God forbid a woman has hobbies.

In the american context communism is mostly unrelated to economics. Any progressive redistributive policy is communism, as is any egalitarianism of race, gender, or sexual orientation. Integration is communism, women in the workplace is communism, marriage equality is communism. It's deeply stupid.

Fat people cannot win, regardless of what we do. And I’ve had enough

[seinfeld voice] what is the deal with natalie harp youtu.be/XqpTkbNRAjY

According to CNN, Natalie Harp once jumped into the trunk of an SUV after getting into a screaming match with other Trump staffers after being denied a seat in the motorcade heading to a Trump trial appearance. www.cnn.com/2026/08/18/p...

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."

They’re really circling the wagons tonight on this. It’s all hands on deck. All he said was that they fly together a lot. Sheesh, these people are triggered. For some reason.

People are having fun mocking this as homework but I think anyone who is interested in the movie has probably seen most of these movies. I am a marvel fan so I've seen them all except the recent Spiderman. I'm guessing all the folks making fun of this just aren't Marvel fans and that's ok.

Our lawsuit against Meta is about protecting our kids. It’s about Meta knowing the harms of its products, introducing them anyway, and lying to the public about it. It’s about enforcing the law.

US child vaccination rates have plunged since before the pandemic, with kindergarten classrooms in more than 70% of counties now lacking herd immunity against measles.

Whether it’s Pete Hegseth overseeing missile depletion, food shortages, and sailor suicide attempts or Lloyd Austin being Black, both secretaries of defense have angered portions of the electorate.
