This Christmas, I have just one wish for you:
Take a moment to really see the older people in your life.
Let them know they’re loved, valued, and never invisible.
Share a smile with an elder you don’t know.
Offer a warm holiday greeting.
Small gestures carry enormous power.
Love,
Lynda 🎄✨

Probably the same way we put men on the moon with 1960s technology. Or how we built the most dominating military in world history. Or how we created a postal system that can deliver a package to any address, anywhere in the country, no matter how remote, for just a few bucks.
I'm here willing to read anything someone puts together that details how we can get from here to there
I'm all for universal healthcare. Tell me how we get there.

This is a surgical dismantling of yet another dumb Matt Yglesias argument by a former clean energy exec and current Representative. This is the sort of thing that should make people stop listening to people like Yglesias.
Read the whole thing.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Hide the Autopsy Report, Lose the Narrative
Hear me out…
At the exact moment Dems should be drawing a clean contrast with Trump’s culture of secrecy and cover ups, the DNC is choosing opacity.
Hiding the 2024 autopsy report isn’t coming across like strategy, it looks like fear of hard truths.

A fundamental problem is that many Democrats believe good policy sells itself. They don't. We have to sell them. Relentlessly, aggressively, effectively, in every possible venue. Otherwise people either don't really think about it, or Republicans take the credit.
could things have been better? obviously. but a lot of it comes down to how Bidenomics didn't really manage to sell itself to the voter constituency they needed for 2024
