The *vibe* of the new publication is clearly “we are here to defend liberalism against its leftwing assailants.”
Launching that sort of publication in summer 2025 is, let’s just say, *A CHOICE*.
There is an evergreen market for that sort of writing. You will never go broke writing this stuff.

Criticizing Democrats from the left does not reinforce right wing arguments. (indeed, fwiw, it makes Democrats seem more moderate!)
Criticizing Democrats from the right reinforces MAGA criticism.

ICE and CBP are fatally flawed products of the post-9/11 War on Terror — now Trump has weaponized those very flaws to occupy America.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

They broke Alex Pretti's rib while he was supporting his neighbors. And then he came right back out the next week. We've had an entire administration cosplaying as warriors, all for the man they just killed to be the realest example of one.
My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib.
He thought he was going to die.
Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors.

It's crazy the extent to which Mayor Bowser prioritizes building a football stadium for a private equity guy and ensuring soccer and baseball field access for adult kickball (which would be fine on the Mall!)... but not opening schools up expeditiously or youth sports.

Unless Democrats are aggressively pushing to rescind funding - $75 billion - Congress appropriated for ICE - any 3R cosmetic/messaging package from Schumer Dems should be a nonstarter. No one should take Ds seriously unless they are pushing to slash funding for ICE/CBP.
Congressional Republicans gave Trump a slush fund for ICE and CBP in the "Big Beautiful Bill." Tens of billions of dollars that is still usable even during a shutdown.
Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.

People have talked about the oddity of the 8th Circuit being 10 GOP, one Dem nominee among 11 active judges, but the *why* is important: three of the four slots Trump filled are because judges (2 D, 1 R) remained on active status well past age 70 -- i.e., two Dems failed to retire strategically. 1/2
Expected this, given the makeup of the 8th Circuit. I've been wondering if this is why Trump chose Minneapolis, actually. Blue governor, blue mayor, in a conservative circuit.
NEW:
Ugh, the 8th Circuit grants DHS’s motion for an administrative stay pending appeal.
That means the TRO granted against DHS by Judge Menendez last week is on hold.
