Republicans have 1.838 million votes in the primary with 78% of votes in
Isn't the bigger story in TX-Sen that the Dems got about the same amount of votes as the Republicans and the Dems have more votes left to count?
Somehow, in despite 10 years of increasingly deranged behavior from Trump and co, they find creative new ways to surprise me with their depravity.
There has been similar coverage on Axel Dumas, the head of Hermès, who ignored Epstein’s attempts to gain favor with him. It seems very easy to navigate away from Epstein if one had the desire to do so.
Given the size of the California education system, that’s pretty remarkable.
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.
Someone keeps “winning” money on PolyMarkets placing six figure bets on us bombing Iran within hours of it happening.
It’s wild how Nextdoor disrupts the idea that people are mean and racist online because the internet is anonymous.
When I was living in France there was a massive scandal because a politician didn’t fly coach while on the public’s dime.
The descendants of slaves owned by Andrew Tarbutton are now fighting against a railroad company owned by his family to keep a farm that has been in their family for 100 years.
Tarbutton Hall is also the home of Emory’s political science and sociology departments.

Chris Murphy on Trump’s State of the Union address: “These aren’t normal times and showing up for this speech puts a veneer of legitimacy on the corruption and lawlessness that has defined his second term”
Honored to have my job market paper quoted here on whether Trump can hold the Black and Latino voters he gained in 2024. The generational shifts I write about feel especially significant as we mourn the loss of Jesse Jackson. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/o...
“We’re not a perfect people. Yet, we are called to a perfect mission. Our mission to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to house the homeless, to teach the illiterate, to provide jobs for the jobless, and to choose the human race over the nuclear race.”

"I am not white, as you can see," Julie Le — a government lawyer — told a federal judge on Tuesday. "And my family's at risk as any other people that might get picked up too ..."
Law Dork:
I read this in the NYT yesterday and your reporting is much better. Le’s politics weren’t even clear in their telling.
Somehow I feel like this fits with the observation that the liberal elite is harder to break into/more centralized than conservative elite

The billionaire class wants to decimate the white collar workforce. Because white collar workers are expensive. And because white collar workers—who historically sided with billionaires—are questioning that alliance. Which makes their knowledge and resources a huge threat to billionaire power.

You know who wouldn’t be shocked by the ubiquity of names in the Epstein files? Andrea Dworkin.
It is surreal to see people create, share, profit from, and use Black avatars for their own political, commercial, and entertainment purposes. Especially under the pretext of being subversive or liberatory.
Yesterday, I encountered Chelsea God's "Kristi Noem is a Bird-Legged Ho" trending on TikTok. Chelsea God is a comedian whose ai-generated song uses a gravelly bark reminiscent of Old Dirty Bastard. She has hats. www.chelseagods.com/products/kri...
Next, my sister-in-law sharing a song by this ai-generated "artist" who's songs include "New year, I'm the same motherfucker" and "I feel like slapping a nigga today." It's as if Seth MacFarlane created an RnB singer.
First, the WH sharing a doctored image of Nekima Levy Armstrong's arrest last week: apnews.com/article/fact...
I've encountered a head-spinning amount of AI-generated impersonations of Black people in the last week. So many that I've starting a thread to keep track of them.
