Across Europe, when centrist parties have adopted far right themes and sought to appease far right voters, they go down in flames. Why? Because: 1. They alienate their own base. 2. They tell other voters that the far right is correct. The determination not to learn this lesson is a wonder to behold.

My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.

“For more than thirty years, when New Yorkers needed a champion, we have turned to Jerry Nadler—and he has delivered for us time and again. Jerry stood alongside gay and trans Americans when it was politically unpopular, voted with courage—not calculus—against the Iraq War and the Patriot Act, stood steadfast alongside the first responders and families sickened after 9/11, and led efforts to hold a lawless Trump administration accountable. Few leaders possess his record of principled progressivism, and fewer can claim to have made such an enduring impact on the fabric of our city. Congress will be worse off without his leadership, but our democracy will be better for the selflessness that has defined a legendary career.”

Taxing construction through massive tariffs on materials, eliminating critical labor force, and causing high inflation by compounding bad economic policies thereby preventing a reduction in borrowing costs is the emergency that they could unilaterally end on any day ending in “y” if they wanted.

Seriously, if Starmer is not up to this job - which he patently isn't - he should make way for someone who understands how politics works, how to connect with people, and what they actually want from politics. Clue: it's not Continuity Tory.

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

The Bozo Fascist incites racism by citing crime in majority-Black cities. In fact, crime rates are much higher in many rural red states. One more example of the authoritarian strategy of distorting reality and invoking false "emergencies" to grab control of society. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...

Sometimes laws get passed for dumb reasons. "Throwing stars" or shuriken were banned in Indiana in the mid-'80s, toward the tail end of the late 70s surge in martial arts movies. Why this was a sudden crisis important to the state legislature was, on the surface, a mystery. However, people... 1/x

No inspections in OR, WA next door charges a higher registration fee for EVs instead, which seems like it would work better in. No-inspection state like Oregon.

It's curious how Rupert Murdoch and son's repeated secretive meetings with JD Vance, like this one in Montana, get huge coverage in London tabloids, but aren't reported or talked about at all in US media. Why is that? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷‍♂️
