All the “let’s just concede trans stuff” Democrats can get well and truly bent

Almost every person who answered The News' survey said they'd had more trouble sleeping and felt less safe in public spaces since November. Over two-thirds said they'd been thinking more about suicide.

We're living in a nation ruled by a confederacy of losers. My latest for @thenation.com:

We’re Being Ruled Over by the World’s Biggest Losers

They effectively control our fates, but deep down, they know they’re sniveling, pathetic, and inadequate, and it eats them up.

Who's the Grossest Member of the Trump Administration?

A true question for the ages—sound off in the comments!

But if the price of goods is rising to facilitate the reinvigoration of American production and a transition to an economy that prioritizes domestic goods and markets, that’s a tradeoff we should consider.

Genuinely demented that the Post completely fails to mention the alliance between Macron and the left that won the election, and how Macron created the whole mess by stabbing his electoral allies in the back www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/1...

Screenshot of text:

The crisis came to a head this week over the government’s budget-cutting plans. But it goes back to French President Emmanuel Macron’s gamble on early legislative elections, which kept the far-right National Rally party out of government but gave Le Pen, its leader, a kingmaker role in a bitterly fragmented political landscape.

Screenshot of text:

In France, the president’s pick of prime minister must win lawmakers’ approval. From the outset, Le Pen said her party would oppose any candidate from the left-wing alliance that had garnered the most seats in the July election, though short of a governing majority.

Barnier — a traditional conservative and the European Union’s former Brexit negotiator — was selected as a veteran politician who could navigate the minefield and secure Le Pen’s tacit support. But his government has been under a near-constant threat of collapse since taking office in September, with its fate in the hands of Le Pen.
