Latest Home Front pod is up now. I talk Congressional dysfunction, Newt Gingrich's 'plan' to nuke the Middle East, and what you can do to help out on Campaign '26, all in less than 20 minutes! youtu.be/MO94eSPDcYM?...
If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Today's post by Reed Galen, @reedgalen.bsky.social "We need to look to those candidates as leaders who are not only willing to call out the world as it is, but also promises to do something about it . . . There are a few bright spots here and there, but we need many more to light the way forward."
Leaders like Donald Trump, party faithful, activists, donors, and a tsunami of outside money, means political candidates say nothing (and then do nothing) to avoid getting pushed off the cliff into electoral oblivion. Guess who doesn't win in this scenario? reedgalen.substack.com/p/the-narrow...
That would require a strategy, a plan, a willingness to put a fight, and the attention span of something more than a meth-addled gnat.
Starting Now! Please join us!

Tom Emmer is TEMU Henry Rollins.
ICE continues to detain American citizens in detention centers & federal officials refused to tell her family that she was being held. ICE released her from the WI facility at 5am. She walked to a gas station & got a ride from a stranger. wgntv.com/news/chicago...
Why are you the only person saying this.. that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war …

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
The war in #Iran is costing the US $1 Billion PER DAY. youtube.com/shorts/aZyut...

Some women you admire from afar. Others make you recalibrate your ambition.
Susan is that for me. Honored to be in her circle. And honest enough to say I study women like her because I intend to operate at that level.

The #iran war is killing American soldiers and civilians overseas. Its ripple effects are screwing Americans here at home. My latest on the Trumpian Doom Loop. reedgalen.substack.com/p/the-trumpi...
The Trumpian Doom Loop has been named — and it’s the cycle created when incompetent leadership manufactures crisis and ordinary Americans are left paying for it. @reedgalen.bsky.social

But @davidhogg.bsky.social is the enemy...Got it.
kind of astounding to consider that Trump won the 2024 election to a significant extent because Biden's support for Israel became so politically toxic, then he decided a good governing strategy would be to become full on a client state of Israel
