For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

It feels like this is not really reading the room.
Airlines are betting that billions spent on making first class even classier—even-bigger lie-flat seats, even-tastier grub and even-more-private privacy doors—will pay off in prestige and profits.
First Class Gets Even More Opulent as Airlines Invest Billions
Carriers say the money spent on bigger seats, better food and more privacy pays off in prestige and profits.

Just think it’s a bit weird that society has been brainwashed in to thinking that rich people and massive corporations having a bit less money is the main thing we need to avoid no matter what.

The thing about DOGE is it accomplished neither its ostensible nor actual goals but did manage to cause a couple of holocausts worth of deaths internationally.
And the media finds none of those three things particularly notable.

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

A thing I was taught over and over and over in journalism school was that following the money would almost always lead to the truth. Once we started following the politics and not the money, the truth reliably stayed hidden. I do not suggest this was an accident.

You know it's funny because, and I do not say this to brag, I wrote an almost identical piece in 2019 when I had just started covering climate tech. And I have always felt that adaptation was a key component and a missing piece. But I have to be honest. I now fear that it might signal resignation.
“Investing in adaptation isn’t a luxury or an act of resignation. It’s a sober act of realism & responsibility”. Powerful article from @rupertread.bsky.social on the urgency & transformative potential of #climate adaptation👇

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.
They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”.
They raped them.
Sex implies consent.
The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

You know, there actually was a version of messaging from the Democrats that would have worked (on me at least). Like if they all came out and said, basically, holy crap America, we did not realize how far these people were willing to go, they are truly depraved. We will not trade lives for lives.

when interviewed why don't the democrats say it this way.
"we'll vote to fund the government when the repubs turn health care back on, and btw also food for US citizens."
make it really clear, repetitively, that the repubs could end this by doing the right thing, being human, not being terrorists.
