A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

This is so deeply at odds with the vision and history of America. Take pretty much any ethnic or racial group that are part of the American mosaic America today - they have all faced the same accusation. The moment these accusations are turned into policy are some of the most shameful in US history

Would it kill somebody to say “Nancy is not stupid.” It pains me to see the WH press corps just accept the abuse. Sends the wrong image to Americans and the world IMHO.

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.

Here is a list (updated Oct 2025) of libraries who offer cards to non-residents.
I checked my library (non-resident cards available) and 2 of Krista's books are available as an ebook.
And if the library doesn't have the book you want, you can request they acquire it!

ken have i told u about the humble potato
I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

Any viable left-populist economic coalition in a diverse polity has to include people whose economic exploitation is experienced through racialized and gendered forms.
You can’t ask them to bracket out those concerns as a precondition for solidarity that… just doesn’t make any goddamn sense.

This story is nuts.
"ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply."

Every single day I wonder what the line is for journalists in this country. Because sitting there and saying nothing after your colleague is met with “quiet, piggy” is frankly disqualifying. Are any current WH reporters capable of quite literally speaking truth to power? Like…god damn, you guys!!!
