Legacy media and their establishment sources falling all over themselves to declare Trump, Jared, etc foreign policy geniuses never learned from the Best and the Brightest years or the Bush era. This ceasefire won't hold in practice while the ink dries on their dumb stories. Wish I was wrong.

Like burglars in the night, Russian intelligence tested the locks to see which ones were less secure than others in 2016. What they learned puts all of us in danger. Read the latest Active Measures for more. open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

I spoke with @julieroginsky.bsky.social about the increasingly important role of states in building out a new progressive machine. We covered which states are leading and lagging in the fight for more opportunity.

Trump just said aboard Air Force 1 that he was the apple of Putin's eye. Truest thing he has ever said.

Can we please stop with the Trump Nobel Prize bullshit? There is no better example of how the world has gone mad than this stupid discussion — and everyone from Tom Friedman to the usual MAGA crowd are actually taking it seriously.

The Epstein saga is about so much more than the horrors he and his fellow abusers visited upon young girls. We must make a conscious effort to treat it that way — not just as a drip-drip of individual revelations about sexual misconduct but as a disease that turned our country into what it is today.

If being woke means being awake to the death of our democratic institutions, count me in. Trump is telling you what he is doing right out in the open. The news organizations gathered at the WH yesterday recorded every minute but still failed to see what is happening right before their eyes.

Friends, this is a difficult but very necessary watch and truly the most powerful video I have seen in years. Please watch it, support the brilliant @michellekinney.com and @tarasetmayer.bsky.social at the Seneca Project and spread it far and wide. We cannot turn away from the horror.

In a subheadline, NY Times referred to Ghislaine Maxwell as (I kid you not) "The onetime employee and friend of Jeffrey Epstein." The woman is a convicted sex trafficker and Epstein's former girlfriend and procurer. Why is the paper of record whitewashing her? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

Pray for 60 Minutes. It is the most indispensable news entity we have and it is about to be overseen by someone who thinks we need to give equal weight to people who argue that the earth is flat and to people who argue that the earth is round.
