@TheLoveBel0w Does NFL really want to institute a Trumpian hard-right rule that'll alienate at least half their players & fans? Does NFL want to paint themselves as so un-woke? Personally, I abandoned the sport in 80s when it got too slow, violent & expensive unless one had an expense acct...

Dr Anthony Fauci, about an hour ago, on the new Biden era: "The idea that you can get up here [at the podium] and talk about what you know, what the science is and know that’s it, let the science speak – it is something of a liberating feeling.”

As a historian, I’ve respect for the value of what presidential debates bring to electoral process for voters (esp. with JFK & Reagan), but I’m afraid Von Drehle is correct. Trump uses them for insults & disruption, not to inform—he has ruined them for now

Over and over, @SecretaryPete keeps taking the serious caring common sense POV in his words & policies--part of why GOP always wants to try & trip him up. But they're incapable, & it's almost always an impossible errand. Pete is concerned about average Americans, GOP not so much.

One of many surprising things "Caste" is teaching me: had no idea that, in mid-30s, Nazi Germany's top leaders, in order to help them decide how to legally turn Jews into 2nd class citizens or worse, diligently researched laws behind USA's cruel discrimination of black Americans.

Gov @GavinNewsom is correct again: been a fan of Rep Barbara Lee for decades, but am also a big fan of her 2024 U.S. Senate competitors Katie Porter and Adam Schiff. He shouldn’t be showing any favoritism in that race. Damn, my home state has some impressive political talent, eh?

Why is it that 70-80%+ of Americans favor: common sense gun control, higher min wage, legal pot, banning 3rd trimester abortions, free college, stricter campaign $$ rules, paid parental leave--but it never gets passed by Congress? @Yascha_Mounk has answers.

Thanks to lies on FoxNews, etc, Americans “feel crime is getting worse, even when it’s not. Despite dramatic long-term trend toward lower crime in 1993-2020, 20 of 24 Gallup surveys conducted in that time found at least 60% of adults said crime was up.”

New report shows high corporate profits are a main driver of ongoing inflation, w/companies keeping prices high even as their costs drop🤬. It says corp profits accounted for ~53% of inflation during 2023’s 2nd & 3rd quarters. Know who your real enemy is.

Glad to see @MatthewJDowd taking a view I've backed for months; why is MSM concentrating on 2024 election at this fraught moment? "Concentrate on what's in front of you. The house is on fire." If @TheDemocrats lose Nov midterms, U.S. democracy likely may not survive til 2024.
