If no one has standing to sue Trump in court to stop his lawlessness, then it’s imperative to elect members of Congress who will.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to vote all the way down the ballot. Yes we must win back power in Congress but while we are at it let’s flip some state legislatures and retain and elect Democratic judges. Make your plan and let’s get this #BlueWaveIn60Days

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word.
Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality.
Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too.
Two giants who helped change America.
Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾

Today, I started the day debate prepping with my team, then watched my daughter’s soccer game, went grocery shopping, watched my son’s football practice, and made us all dinner.
But yeah, I’m totally a “radical lunatic.”

Could the special grand jury being convened in DC have something to do with the contempt charges against either Anthony Fauci or Jack Smith?

Douthat is a lying shill for the far right. Connecticut has a good public school system and a fine governor. Good senators too...especially Chris Murphy.
Want to see civic and educational collapse...visit a red state, like Missouri, Alabama, Mississippi or Florida.

Truly hilarious that he's moving to 60 Minutes. Add "the importance of attractive on-air talent" to the list of things Bari Weiss does not understand about television. Douthat combines sloppily-reasoned shit-takes with general physical repulsiveness. It should work out great for CBS.

I have been saying this since the 1980s.
"Reality" TV was the worst thing to ever happen to America...

I actually think this statement is a big deal.
Because it tells you all you need to know. They believe, in their bones, in an imperial presidency where the executive rules absolutely and uses his power to destroy enemies and enrich himself.

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."
