Ya know, I don't think this is a little point.

In this mis and dis-informed era, VIBE and emotion shape perceptions, clicks, shares...

Chris Murphy needs blue America to wake up The Connecticut senator once looked like the future of Democratic politics. These days, he worries whether democracy has a future.

Does Chris Murphy deserve our attention? He certainly wants it.

A scholar of Democrats’ failures, Murphy embodies his party’s quest to rebuild its brand. The question is whether an insider like him is up to the task.

Jill Biden still hopes for a good ending First lady Jill Biden, after nearly 50 years in public life, reflects on the past seven months — and looks to the future.

After 14 campaigns—12 for Joe, two for Beau—Jill Biden's 50 years in public life is ending.

Analysis | We don’t know Jack Jack Schlossberg, John F. Kennedy’s grandson, made himself a progressive social media star this year, even as Donald Trump drafted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. into the MAGA movement.

This, from @karavoght.bsky.social, is just superb

Usha Vance is a ‘powerful’ voice in JD’s ear. What will she say? Usha Vance, incoming Second Lady, once guided JD into high society at Yale, where they first met. Now, just over a decade later, he will become vice president.

Usha Vance: an ex-Democrat who taught JD the ways of the elite and helped propel him into political prominence — but who doesn't say much about herself.
