the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

Nice to see @nytpitchbot.bsky.social writing real headlines
Incredible legal journalism brain on display here, spending 1,000 words pondering a question when both your headline and subheadline supply the howlingly obvious answer www.nytimes.com/2025/07/16/u...

1/2 You could write a book about one atrocious headline in print NYT today
(I sort of wrote this book 30 years ago, Breaking the News, but others can take a turn.)
What's wrong this headline? Mamdani "faces scrutiny" **ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY** because NYT decided to make this a "thing."
Really bad.

galaxy brain: practically everyone who thinks they are a ‘politically homeless’ centrist is in fact a far-right doofus and psycho
The funny thing about this is that Elon thinks he is a ‘politically homeless’ centrist when in fact he is a far-right doofus and psycho. Whatever this absurd project’s manifesto ends up being, I can’t imagine it poaching too many normie dems

STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it has saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost up to *14M* lives thru 2030. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

if there was legislation that, e.g., failed to protect trans athletes while protecting trans rights in other respects, THEN you can try to have a conversation about compromise. but ceding the issue without getting anything in return isn’t compromise, you’re just losing.

the american constitution does not deal in minutiae. it speaks in generalities with the aim of establishing a limited government of enumerated powers. it is an analytical mistake to treat textual ambiguities as license to ignore that intent or the stated intent of specific provisions. (3)

I student taught government last semester in a small town that went Trump 85%. Even the overtly-MAGA students had positive things to say about Bernie (opposed to Harris or any other national Dem). A bold vision is WAY more captivating than a ‘consensus-building moderate.’ Especially in red America!!
We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
