People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

2/2 And what’s up with “more than any president in modern American History.” How about “more than any leader in the history of the world.” Even among historic figure who match his immorality, nobody had the same access to the power that comes with the United States Presidency to go along with it.

Isn’t the minefield metaphor supposed to suggest a perilous but necessary trek that must be negotiated with courage and care to avoid dangers that were set against you? That is 100% NOT what this is, New York Times. This is just plain old corruption. 1/2

This asshole has no agenda other than enriching himself. That’s the real Donroe Doctrine. Nothing that benefits the American people will ever come out of this administration. Dems should hammer on the message that he is an employee of We the People and it’s way past time to fire him for cause.

This article is infuriating. Applying the term “mutual distrust” to such lopsided levels of trustworthiness is journalistic malpractice. A simple review of the administration’s early responses show, at the least, a hostility toward evidence-based fact-finding. Shame on CNN

Let me walk you through the various possible explanations for Trump's invasion of Venezuela and see which ones hold water. (spoiler: the good faith explanations don't, the corrupt ones do)

I wish people would stop describing things that are indisputably provable as a matter of fact as "controversial." People not liking a fact doesn't mean the fact is controversial. Reality is not malleable around our beliefs and it shouldn't be. We need to stop acting like it is.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

Doesn’t it ever occur to people that if academic and intellectual freedom pushes young bright people leftward, that maybe far right political ideology might just be far wrong?

It’s time for everyone to speak out in support of Harvard and every institution and law firm that is standing up for their values.
