What's going on my "guys" and, in some cases, my "gals”? I play drums for Guster. Brooklyn NY.

We will never hear from Tyler Robinson. And that sucks because the story has so many holes in it.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Republicans are like:

“Trump’s mugshot is gangster and will win him the thug vote”

And also…

“They should replace Bad Bunny with Lee Greenwood at the Superbowl”

Ok thanks that makes sense. It does seem like if you wanted to motivate Trump, some vanity deadline would be a strong approach

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red
