Pete Buttigieg has the patience of a kindergarten teacher and the communication skills of a constitutional scholar. His emotional intelligence is through the roof.

The country is not Far Right and it’s not Far Left. Whichever Party manages to figure that out and govern accordingly will do well!

It’s way easier than that, Dan. Men can end abortion without making it illegal simply by choosing to ejaculate responsibly so they don’t cause any unwanted pregnancies. It’s as easy as condoms and vasectomies. Bonus: condoms also protect from STIs.

Tonight is terrible for my preferred policy outcomes but wonderful for our constitutional system. Congress had a responsibility to keep the president in line. Congress utterly failed to do so. So Congress gets thrown out by the people. And that’s wonderful.

Guy who was secretly working for the government while tricking his readers into thinking he was an independent commentator about that same government would like a word about dignity.
I thought @DanLamothe’s story packed with bogus innuendo about me and my buddies was the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen him publish, but I’ve got to admit, Globogate might actually be more embarrassing. Dude, have some dignity. @CynicalPublius @RobManess

If you celebrate layoffs, you are a ghoul. Shouldn’t be controversial: don’t celebrate people losing their livelihoods, don’t celebrate families suddenly unsure of how to pay their mortgage or rent. Wild that some people on this site need that reminder.

RIP, Scott Stoddard! Journalism was lucky to have you.
I think I first began chatting with @scottstoddard on Twitter. I’m missing his voice, here and in person. Irascible editors unite. Subscribe to your local print paper in his honor.

If you're an editor, hire Nicole. She can do everything. Everything. I worked with Nicole for a decade, and all of us in the newsroom were in awe of her boundless skills and her ability to adapt to (and master) new beats, new technologies, new anything.
I’m one of the journalists who has been laid off. My heart hurts for my coworkers and for our community, which just gets less and less important coverage. If anyone knows of journalism jobs that are open, I’ll be looking!

The @IdahoStatesman newsroom was gutted today by @mcclatchy - a gross, gutless company that sold its soul more than a decade ago. Today, whether you read the paper or not, it's BEYOND SAD! Statesman sports staff down to one? Good people losing jobs! Statesman future ... AI scary! Our community pays the price!

RIP. Will never forget what Dolly told me about politicians. "I don’t think any of ‘em are trying hard enough... they worry more about their party than they do about the people. If we just do what we felt was the right thing... None of them are working from the heart." 💙

Trying to figure out how we live in a world where our health insurance companies - not our doctors - have the power to decide whether we get MRIs or not. (And why it took nearly a week for my insurance to deny one. I should have just gone to the ER at the first sign of symptoms.)

I served this nation for 21 years under presidents of both parties. Six years ago today, I was forced to retire, following months of retaliation for a decision I made to defend our Constitution. I’ll always call out corruption, regardless of party — it’s the right thing to do.

Needless to say, some of the greatest anti-Communists were Social Democrats. Trump wouldn’t know since he never was an anti-Communist—he wanted to cut business deals with the Soviet Union and admired the brutal repression of the Chinese regime.
Trump: "They say 'Social Democrat.' No, a Social Democrat is a communist."

Katie Miller has a master's degree and a career. It appears that she has consistently worked since she was 20. She can open a bank account, own property, and have a credit card in her name. She has access to no-fault divorce and would be entitled to child support for her baby if she and Stephen Miller divorce. She has laws protecting her against physical abuse and rape by her spouse. She had access to birth control and abortion, meaning that having a baby was a choice. She is very much not living the life that the "propaganda. . . convinced" women was oppressive. She is living the life that feminism made possible. Of course, she knows this. She's just a liar.
Imagine how much propaganda it took to convince women that this is oppressive.

Power Ranking World Cup host cities I’ve been to so far… 🏟️ 1. Seattle 2. Vancouver 3. Los Angeles 4. San Francisco Seattle had EVERYTHING. Public transport, walkability, great food, and a stadium IN downtown. Vancouver was a close 2nd. Similar vibe as Seattle. Was only there for a day. Waterfront is BEAUTIFUL! Los Angeles is just too spread out. No atmosphere around the stadium. Traffic. Meh. San Fran… or Santa Clara. Tough when the host city is an hour drive from the stadium. 🔜 still to come… Houston Dallas Atlanta Philly Boston NYC

How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?
