Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

You don't fight a "war" against the Republicans by being a white guy trying to primary a Black rep in a majority Black district. That's not progressivism. But it is some kind of "ism."

"The government let me down yet again after I voted for the man who promised to do all the things that would let me down" is a summation of the terrible f'ing groundhog's day in which we are trapped.

Jeffries: This is only going to end in one of two ways. Either Republicans are going to agree to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits before December 31st of this year, or the American people are going to throw Republicans out of office because of their failure to make life better.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is just another enemy.
In normal times, I might think of Michael Bohacek as being on the “other side.” But we are in enemy-of-my-enemy territory here, and I am happy to call Republican Indiana state senator Bohacek, a hero!

Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."

Pete Hegseth is not the "secretary of war" just because he keeps using the term, any more than the Gulf of Mexico is the Gulf of America or Donald Trump is a great American. Saying so don't make it so.

The numbers vary from study to study but hundreds of thousands of people have died because of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio illegally disbanding USAID — a body count on par with the first eight years of the Syrian civil war — In just seven months. It’s mass death that is simply unfathomable in scale.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

As a postdoctoral biomedical researcher, any claim that RFK Jr. is somehow the most powerful man "in science" makes me want to vomit.
