Chuck Schumer resign bitch
Senate Democrats want to lower your costs and tackle the affordability crisis.
Senate Republicans want to aid and abet Donald Trump’s adventurism in Venezuela and risk yet another endless war.
The contrast is clear – and the American people are with us.

I've resolved to be more energetic in promoting Unwinnable this year. Stories deserve to be read! Readers deserve thoughtful stories! These things should be bullshit-free!
In more measurable terms, I'd like to get a new subscriber for every day of 2026.
So, ahem: unwinnable.com/subscribe/

The fact that when you mention Elon Musk people think of rockets or cars or Twitter; the fact that when you think of RFK Jr you think of eating roadkill and brainworms and Nuzzi, and not the fact they have killed incomprehensible numbers of people is an embarrassment of our collective attentions

how do I tell costar that I’ve been happily married for 15 years, it’s been variations on “the person you’re crushing on is thinking of you too” for months and I miss its bitchy reads on my personality
