“When I wrote the book, leading up to the 2024 election, it was clear that whichever party built the broader coalition was going to win. Democrats were traditionally the broader party—but had been imposing purity tests, ostracizing people and driving away potential allies.”

We asked Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL: Why set up a tip line as part of their “Mamdani Monitor”?
Has the ADL ever done this for a single official?
“We've certainly never had an elected official like this before,” he said.

I was working at an independent bookstore in 1972;we listened to NPR all day long in the back room. I just now listened to the bit with Ira & Susan in a closet testing the “green flash” theory of wintergreen lifesavers. I heard that one live 😊. She was a goddess among women. ❤️

Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scenes and not accepting wholesale what any government or administration says.

A powerful personal testament from Tom Bowman of NPR about the Pentagon attempt to exert complete control over all information. Protecting classified is of course fine. But when neither Fox News nor NY Times sign up to your policy, you should ask yourself if you are getting something very wrong.

After the 2008 election, Democrats had Senate seats in these 9 states: AK, MT, MO, SD, IA, AR, LA, WV, NC.
After the 2024 election, they had zero seats in those states. If they held just a few, everything would be different.
How have they lost their rural game?
