We're not just in a subscription economy, we're in a subscription democracy. Some are getting a higher tier of benefits while the rest are locked into the basic plan we were signed up for at birth where the cost only ever rises and they keep removing benefits or turning them into premium add-ons.

folks like Heather Bryant have made this point both repeatedly and eloquently but we have lost so much because so many people in news /media / punditry / policy have only ever been rich.

According to Edsall, American politics was so much easier and less wedge issue when straight white men ran everything.

Larry Glickman@larryglickman.bsky.social · yesterday

From Tom Edsall’s column. I wish he had specified what he means by “wedge-issue attacks.” I’m also not sure what it means to say that Dems have been “vulnerable” to these things for 60 years. Presumably, he is suggesting that backlash politics has, on balance, harmed the Democrats.

Here's what we learned from the DOJ monitors here in Michigan yesterday: www.votebeat.org/michigan/202...

The Trump administration sent federal monitors to the Michigan primary. Here’s how it went.

Monitors from the Department of Justice quietly observed the voting process in four Michigan cities.

All we should ever be talking about is Leonard Leo, tbh. Talking about Leonard Leo will convince more people we need court reform. That man bought the fucking Supreme Court.

Tom Carter@thcarter123.bsky.social · 6h ago

Astonishing. The only mention of “Loser Leonard Leo” in Kansas vote so far is Talking Points Memo. Do legacy media reporters not know or are they in on the con & think Leo involvement is irrelevant? WE are reporters. WE decide what readers need to know. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/kansas-...

Fun fact: I just published the full story on this topic mere minutes ago. By my count, at least 12 pastors, seminarians & former clergy have launched campaigns for federal office this year, and 5 are already nominees. In response, the GOP is attacking their faith. religionnews.com/2026/08/04/p...

everyone liking and reposting my good election thoughts should additionally be aware I am also very hot and good looking

good reminder that before the counting is over, election results don’t tighten. at no point is anyone trailing. nobody moves closer. they’re just tabulating the polls. it’s a fixed number that just isn’t done yet. to say otherwise is bad journalism but even worse math.

Q: Any comment on Rep. Max Miller? TRUMP: I hope he's able to work it out. I feel badly for him.

There’s no way this doesn’t turn into an extensive extortion and murder racket. The people these stateside contractors will pay to track down targets are the same ones refugees were fleeing in the first place.

This truck was just parked on the Hennepin bikeway ramp to Bryant. Minneapolis is too hesitant to put solid barriers (like concrete bollards) to cars where it is obvious we need them, and it’s leading to an infestation of drivers violating spaces where they inconvenience and harm everyone else.
