Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

Look, I think it’s folly to monitor NYT coverage at this point but it just has to be said that the NYT covered those damn university president hearings BREATHLESSLY but the Epstein emails???? Crumbs. Even though I’m used to them being bootlickers, it’s still appalling to see.

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.
The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

Jesus Christ if you don’t want to live next to people who speak a different language why on earth is it incumbent on those people and not you to go somewhere else

Jeffries: "There's additional funds that are available to be reallocated so that not a single person in this country goes hungry. And if that happens beginning on November 1, it's because Donald Trump and Republicans want the American people to go hungry."

Prime example: Andy Beshear is a very popular governor of a very red state (Kentucky), and he vetoed several anti-trans bills. When he vetoed the ban on gender-affirming care, he said his faith teaches him that all children are children of God.
worth saying that this does not account for, say, an andy beshear

Lined up on the sidewalks with some really cool people in Crescent Hill / St. Mathews for the No Kings protest. Heartening to see so much support! Here I am w/ @RepMcGarvey.bsky.social, who was making his way through the crowd. (I got stupidly nervous, so he took the pic.) #NoKings #Louisville

Trump is now going after Jack Smith.
You know who seems safe from his retribution: Merrick Garland. Because he did JACK SHIT. Trump not being pissed at him is, low key, an indictment of his entire tenure.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.
I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.
