No, CBS will not settle any lawsuits against them that people may bring for editing out over half of Trump’s interview since none of you are in a position of power to approve their merger with any other media companies.

1/ This week, SCOTUS will hear Trump’s tariffs case, arguably one of the most important all term. It’s important to understand that this is not a case about tariffs in general or whether they are good policy. It’s about whether Trump had the authority to impose them.

“every time theres a republican president the economy collapses” feels like pretty easy messaging on the economy

Max Kennerly @maxkennerly.bsky.social · 2h

Congrats to everyone who put Republicans in charge "for the economy," the first three quarters of 2025 already had more layoffs than any of the years in which Biden or Obama was President except 2009 (when Dems were still cleaning up the prior Republican mess).

Amazing line in the WaPo editorial board screed against Mamdani:

"while he no longer defends eliminationist rhetoric about Jews, he remains fixated with Israel. Whenever confronted with his most radical views, the undeniably talented politician simply smiles and pivots to 'affordability.'"

So...

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

yes yes yes to all of this. material politics is the way forward and that doesn’t mean slogans it means the very difficult work of being a real presence in the lives of the people who you want to trust you.

It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:

1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.

Mamdani is not a radical. He has run a tight, smart, fairly standard local campaign. He'll probably get 20 or 30 percent of his platform if he's lucky. The one radical thing he's done is told the Times to go to hell. He has campaigned every step of the way like he doesn't need them, and he's right.

Evil as hell. Glad to know that one of my senators, @amyklobuchar.com, voted to confirm USDA Sec. Brooke Rollins, the monster who is forcing children to go hungry.

@amyklobuchar.com voted for most of the Trump monsters to show that she’s “bipartisan.” Thanks Amy, great job!

Catherine Rampell @crampell.bsky.social · 20h

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

“Dems moved too far left” is more pundit-consultant industrial complex than empirically-supported analysis. It lives in euphemism and vibes.

It wrongly assumes abandoning core values will yield a net increase in votes.

And to the extent it’s really political strategy, it’s fighting the last war.
