*very* striking to me that trump's two big losses at SCOUTS--first the fed, now tariffs--are both about core macroeconomic institutions, namely free trade and an independent central bank. "go nuts on culture, go nuts on immigration, but DO NOT TOUCH the neoliberal consensus"

If you are surprised by what SCOTUS just did, you need to revisit your premises about the Court and the political economy of constitutional litigation, which is very sensitive to the preferences of people who do not like market chaos even if the administration does not care.

Thank you gents

NBC appears to cut crowd’s booing of JD Vance from Winter Olympics broadcast The US vice-president, JD Vance, was greeted by a chorus of boos during when he appeared at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Milan on Friday

Wow, NBC edited out the audience booing JD Vance at the Olympics. And this is one of the few remaining news outlets NOT owned by right-wing billionaire Trump sycophants

In a wide-ranging #SU2CInnovationSummit, scientists from many different fields discussed methods, technologies, and systems for catching cancers at their earliest stages and selecting the best treatments for every patient. #StandUpToCancer

Democrats' demand that Stephen Miller is fired as a condition of voting for ICE funding is one of the smartest moves they've made under Trump.

Miller is a loathsome figure who I imagine has rock-bottom likability numbers. Democrats should try to raise his public salience as often as possible.

Lots of scrambling today by the terrible regime.

I want to argue that our goal should be to get Miller removed, that has to be the focus. Noem, Bovino, etc are all just middle managers. The architect of the terror regime is Miller.

One of the hardest things to do is bring campaign-level communications to the work of governance, and snowstorms are notoriously one of the biggest litmus tests that less-engaged voters use to judge mayoral administrations. This is an excellent way to communicate.

If this is what they do to white American citizens in front of everyone, imagine what happens to non-white people behind closed doors.

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Be careful on those roads #ICE

100 stories about what Israel thinks, none about how MUSLIMS WHO LIVE IN NYC think about having a Muslim Mayor. Nothing to see here.

CBS News filmed but DIDN'T air this interview in which NYC Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss defends NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, clarifying that Mamdani is opposed to Zionism and Israel's genocide but he's NOT antisemitic. A Jewish rabbi praising a Muslim Mayor. I wonder why they didn't air it? 🤔 #USPolitics

What. No.

Don't use their language, @newyorker.com that is not even a real word. What the hell is wrong with "flee" or like. "Flee this godforsaken country"

So people looked at these pictures, saw who was in them, and said oh, no, we can't let other people know about that. Cover that guy's face up.

A bunch of people, right now, know exactly whose faces those are, and are simply declining to say.

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here

Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

Tweet from Nicole Gelinas: Finally, someone smart says the obvious ... NYC builds boatloads and boatloads and boatloads of housing. More than most American cities combined. Why doesn't that make housing cheaper? For the very reason that NYC builds the housing: it is built to meet new demand by the new top... Show more

NYC is not building “boatloads of housing”.

Last year, Manhattan permitted fewer units (2,347) than 1 boat (Icon of the Seas, 2,800 units)

Chicago at the Ziegfeld on New Years Day 2003. Packed, excited house. Crowd went wild just for the Miramax logo, and then brought the house down for Chita Rivera’s five second appearance as an inmate talking to Roxie.

"Republicans won't let us so we surrender" is Hakeem Jeffries' and Chuck Schumer's leadership in a nutshell, and it's just awful and so wrong for the time we're in.

Crockett on MTG resigning: "Honestly, I was like, you got to be kidding. You're on the other side of the president for one week and you can't take the heat? Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes."

Nice to see, he does it so rarely

What a great observation! “[Summers] has been preoccupied with the 11th commandment, ‘Thou shalt not get caught,’ rather than the other 10.”

@americanprogress.bsky.social do the right thing

turns out the emails we should have been reading in 2016 were from the NYT

Stunning and exciting and gives me hope

PLEASE do not cave, Senator
