Matt Yglesias is also just so fucking stupid. The fact he has a following is insane
When this is how you move through the world that's a massive testament to your world view.

Yet, for someone who self-characterizes as coming out of the labor-liberal tradition, Yglesias’ analysis—as well as his actions—often seem to indicate otherwise.

It’s really embarrassing how much certain Democrats are trying to assist the right in enacting Project 2025’s plans to censor the internet and banish abortion access info, sex ed, LGBTQ people, and much more under the guise of “protecting the kids,” who will of course be further harmed by this

I can *100% assure you* that if this report found that trans people & "wokeness" tanked the Harris campaign, the DNC would release it in a heartbeat
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Last night we had our 6-hour streamathon and it was a huge success!
We raised more than $25,000 while talking about politics, playing video games, making dolmas, and putting my cat in a little Santa hat.
Politicians can fund campaigns without calling rich people. They just have to want to do it.
