if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

A multi-day freakout about Mamdani's chances apparently happened because Millennials were waiting to vote until they could get the special Halloween-themed "I voted" stickers

wonder if Kavanaugh is a DraftKings or FanDuel man
Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.
Real life doesn’t move like social media, but it does in fact move
Longtime Trump supporter: “I think deep down he wants to help the country with things like food insecurity.”

(Trump enacted the largest cuts to SNAP in history a few months ago)

Now says she regrets voting for Trump and wishes a Democrat were president to “protect benefits [Trump] wants to cut.”
I was going to say take out the “adopted country” part and that describes the trumps. Leave that in and it describes musk thiel and the SA cohort
Funny, that’s how I more or less describe everyone in this administration because that’s actually what they’re doing
Another abominable editorial from the Wash Post

he thinks he can lock Dems out of power by voter ID laws (dem voters are now high propensity, so i'm not sure this actually works)
Does he not realize that nuking the filibuster will inevitably come back to bite the GOP in the ass hard when Dems regain control

The right has correctly identified the professional-managerial class as the class with the most revolutionary potential in the current period and have directed all their energies to destroy it before it becomes aware of itself and its own power
it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people

if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops
I’ll take a win in a game we probably shoulda lost back in trade for either of the raiders/steelers Ls that coulda been Ws earlier this season but pass pro and pass rush are two pretty glaring issues down the stretch

But for 1.71 points in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump is probably dead, having attempted another coup and not being granted the same indulgence as the first time.
Ok so “defending democracy” isn’t polling well? Phrase it as presidential overreach or something else. Throw a bunch at the wall and see what polls best, see what goes viral in online spaces.

This is something the GOP is good at and all of our run to the middle poll test truthers refuse to do
You can hit Trump and the GOP on much more than just healthcare.

“The poll also found a widespread belief that Trump is going too far in trying to expand the powers of the presidency, with nearly two-thirds of Americans saying so.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Poll finds most Americans doubt Trump’s commitment to free speech, fair justice
The American people also don’t seem to know quite what to make of the criminal cases against two of Trump’s perceived opponents.

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

John Mulaney's Horse in the Hospital joke remains the best explanation of the Trump administration. Trump doesn't have agency - he's just a force of nature / dumb fucking horse. It's up to everyone else to horse-proof their decisionmaking.
Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc.

Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.
Yeah I’m a little annoyed about this one despite the injury history, pats need rushers unless we’re swinging Hendrickson somehow we fucked up here
Agree they did plenty of traditional promotion but with the media environment being what it is, it needed to be “sold” more I think. With political stunts, visits to locations, sell the cost saving investments

FWIW I don’t think they did anything wrong exactly just that it didn’t really break thru
"Hi, my name is Kevin Baker, I didn't read a single White House press release or CEA post in 2023 or 2024"
Missing from every conversation like this about this IRA is that absolutely nobody knew what was in it because the President was incapable of selling policy to the public. It's really not the job of the press to do this.
Incredible how much damage the Gen Z boss and a mini video did to these guys brains, just stunning

Zohran Mamdani campaigned a lot and appears not to hate the voters whose support he's seeking. Here's what other Democrats can learn from his unorthodox strategy.

the only moral action is to abolish ICE and punish those who are members of ICE
ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them.
After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer."

It's interesting that wise conservative business guys implicitly understand "return on investment" except when it comes to this. It's better for YOU if your neighbor gets enough to eat so he can become your community's mechanic, accountant, dentist--whatever!--instead of lying dead in a ditch
The welfare state is about dignity, equality, and making people not poor, but as @itsafronomics.bsky.social says/cites here, it’s often also an investment that more than pays for itself
Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw:

- Improved life expectancy
- Lower chance of incarceration
- Lowers chance of poverty
- Lived in better neighborhoods
- Higher human capital

SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!
