Wow.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

Tom House, I believe

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Expanding out to the wider NBA /music scene, I can’t say exactly why but Dylan = Bill Bradley and Springsteen = Michael Jordan…?

Trump promised peace, but has delivered war. For months, the Trump administration has escalated conflict in Venezuela with unconstitutional and illegal strikes, and lied to the American people. Now, Trump has committed the United States to running another country for the foreseeable future while Americans foot the bill for regime change.  Today, Trump finally said the quiet part out loud. The justification for this war isn’t about stemming the flow of drugs. This is about regime change. This is about enriching oil corporations and billionaires. Congress must immediately assert its constitutional authority over American military action—the same authority Trump’s own chief of staff said he needs. This is the worst kind of betrayal from Trump. He committed the United States to an uncertain role in South America with an indeterminate timeline. As Trump’s influence over the country and the world wanes, he is ready and willing to endanger Americans and abandon the Constitution as a last-ditch effort to hold on to power and relevancy.

My full statement on Trump’s unconstitutional military operations in Venezuela:

Bari Weiss is really bad at her job, until you realize it's her job to be really bad at her job, in which case she is excellent at her job

This is the ultimate “bring back a past I’m nostalgic for without recreating any of the material conditions that made that possible.” Peak MAGA brain.

People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference.

Stand

For the things you know are right

It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight

Stand

The reason civil rights activists called their marches and protests “demonstrations” was because they were staged to demonstrate the evils of discrimination and anti-democratic rule.

It’s an essential step in effecting change.

The Old Testament

Ossoff: This is what happens when you have Fox News personalities cosplaying as government officials.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

One columnist, a professional pundit, is living in a paranoid delusion. The other, a sociologist, is living in America.

I know people will take advantage of the Q&A to mock him, I’d recommend getting creative at the book signing.

They’re at the end of the event; the author is a little tired and off guard.

“And who should I make this out to?”

“Go fuck yourself. G-O F-U-C-…”

Even if you agree with Schumer that voting for cloture was the lesser of two evils, he handled this with such total ineptitude, in a way that could not have angered and demoralized Democratic voters more if it had been designed to, that it's impossible to justify his leadership role.>

In 1942, the American President opposed censorship because books were weapons in the fight against tyranny.

With his permission, I'm sharing Dean Treanor's response to Ed Martin's letter:

Next thing you know, Trump will expect Jews to stop saying negative things about Hitler.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

That press conference was choreographed for an audience of one and he sits in Moscow.

Once, we fought tyrants. Today Trump and Vance are bending America’s knee. And that weakens us.

Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power. (2/2)

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community.

No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality.

Hate has no home here.
