It's interesting that there are zero NYT op-eds about learning the lessons of the Spanberger campaign. Winning in Virginia isn't the most impressive feat in the world, but it's certainly more relevant to national politics than winning in New York City!

I’m Joel Willett. I joined the Army when I was 17 to keep this country safe. Did the same thing at the CIA. It was the honor of a lifetime to serve my country. Tulsi Gabbard just revoked my security clearance because she serves one man.

Tina Peters was convicted by a jury of her peers, and is serving a prison sentence for her crimes. I will not be intimidated by the Trump Administration’s threats. Colorado will always stand for the rule of law, even when the President refuses to do so. thehill.com/homenews/admin…

Great idea -- let's give foreign students a world class American education, and when they graduate, let's kick them out so they can't give anything back to America.

I know why DNI Tulsi Gabbard refused to provide the evidence that was used to revoke a top scientist's #securityclearance to NSA/CSS's Acting Director. There is none. nytimes.com/2025/08/20/us/…

everyone in politics and journalism who has downplayed the threat Trump poses to our democracy needs to reflect on their foolishness and beg their kids and grandkids for forgiveness

Don't say "birthing person." Don't say "incarcerated person." Don't say "the unhoused." Don't say "chest feeding." Don't say "centering. Don't say "Latinx." When voters hear this, they think Democrats are out of touch crazy people. Just talk normal. Be normal.

John Bolton and I have nothing in common politically. But last time I heard, in America, people are allowed to criticize the President of the United States without the FBI showing up on their doorstep. Just another step in Trump’s march toward authoritarianism.

.Joe Biden handed President Donald J. Trump the best-performing economy in the world. Y'all sent it spiraling with tariffs that fund tax giveaways to Trump's fellow travelers on the Epstein list. We had the guts to admit when we lost. But when Trump lost he sent a cop-killing mob to the Capitol.

The Trump administration put a 28-year-old college dropout DOGE operative in charge of dismantling the US Institute of Peace. DOGE then exposed the existence of a sensitive Afghanistan program. And in Kabul, the Taliban launched a crackdown. propublica.org/article/doge-m…

Trump's Venezuela gambit may be a show, but it's ratcheting up pressure on civil society Warship deployments, bounties, and aggressive rhetoric put Venezuela on "high alert" Our contacts talk about crackdowns and paranoia LATEST for Pirate Wire Services piratewireservices.com/p/trumps-venez…

Good morning, Nepo Baby Bill. I have 2 fraud tips to report: "U.S. Federal Housing (FHFA) did not respond to a detailed list of questions from the The Associated Press, including whether Pulte or his aides used government resources to conduct his research." "Pulte has ignored a similar case involving Attorney General Ken Paxton"

I'm sorry but what? Our Health Secretary says that he sees kids at airports and can tell by their faces that they have mitochondrial challenges This is wacky, flat-earth, voodoo stuff people This is not normal

“Gabbard [the Director of National Intelligence] didn’t know the CIA officer had been working undercover [when she ID’d and stripped the 20-year veteran of security clearance]… Gabbard’s office [which has one job: coordinating with intel agencies] didn’t meaningfully consult

Gabbard’s purge of nonpartisan subject-matter experts is foolish, irresponsible, and short-sighted. Her actions continue to put American national security at risk. It’s time for her to go.

Brian Kemp privately tells donors that the GOP legislative record right now is so toxic that a Congressman can’t win statewide in Georgia

One would have previously ascribed these unforced errors as just mistakes but we're far past that now. This Administration and its senior officials simply don't care about norms, ethics or laws. This is a spiral to the bottom for individual gains, benefits and power.
