Imagine any congressman posting on his own feed: “Rep X on how to deal with mainstream Jews: ‘I think you destroy them.’” It would be the end of the world. But Muslims? Not a peep from Congressional leaders, either GOP or Dem. Fine will continue to be welcomed on cable shows.

Dunno if it’s US soccer ignorance or political medias general distance from culture, but either way, I find next years collision course of World Cup and America 250 to be way underdiscussed. Ppl talk about midterms like we don’t have 10 hills to climb before next Nov
@AsteadWH shared his excitement for next year’s FIFA World Cup with co-host Noel King during a Patreon-exclusive Q&A. In 2026, the World Cup will be hosted in the US, Mexico, and Canada, and Trump already made a splash by receiving FIFA’s inaugural peace prize.

New: We should treat civil rights leaders as the Founding Fathers and Mothers of a new republic. Today’s liberalism debates (over identity, the state, and capitalism) are their unfinished quarrels. https://t.co/hjXL70YlUz

If expressly calling for the genocidal destruction of millions of people isn’t grounds for expulsion from Congress, then what is? Will he even be censured or removed from the committee handling foreign affairs?

Trump has gone from a -1% approval rating on immigration (49 approve to 51 disapprove) on immigration in the AP-NORC poll in March to a -22% in December (38 approve to 60 disapprove). Pretty big swing!
AP/NORC - Trump Approval 🟢 Approve: 36% 🟤 Disapprove: 61% —— Trump's net approval on key issues 🟢 Border Security: +2 🟤 Crime: -12 (was +8 in Aug) 🟤 Immigration: -22 (new low) 🟤 Foreign policy: -23 🟤 The Economy: -36 (new low) 🟤 Healthcare: -40 (new low) —— 12/4-8 |

This is perhaps the most appalling statement from a member of Congress since I have been here. He is reveling in bigotry, confident of his party's support.

Polls show Dem voters want a new generation, but most donors won’t take risks while Big Tech PACs are lining up $100M to stop it. @JusticeDems are building the next bench in NYC, Memphis, LA, Durham, Denver with couch-cushion budgets.

We're proud to announce our newest endorsement: @NidaAllam in #NC04! As County Commissioner, she's proven you can deliver real relief for working people, if you fight for it—we need that in Congress. Anything less is an excuse paid for by corporate PACs.

Fascinating chart from @gelliottmorris: the pivot to “affordability” in Democratic messaging follows Zohran Mamdani’s NYC primary victory in June. I dig into what that means for party realignment here. https://t.co/Je7NOqX22X

I crossed the river to Canada to get some neighborly advice on how to deal with the medical debt that 100 million Americans hold. What I heard will SHOCK you.

Right now, Instacart is quietly running experiments on millions of us while we shop for groceries online. They are trying to figure out exactly how much they can get away with charging you for breakfast cereal, lunch meat, pasta, and everything in between. How do I know? 1/9
