America has invented an entirely new economic phenomenon: Moronic Inflation.
My ground-breaking discovery is here: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-expert...

"A Republican victory in 2028 would mean we could never assume that 'liberalism”'was secure...It would mean living on the knife’s edge, between liberalism and fascism, forever.
So don’t get complacent if Democrats wind up with some crazy number of Senate seats."
Trump voter: "In Waterford, we used to have a police department. They defunded it. We no longer do. So Waterford has no police department."
You’ll never guess what happened next! www.thebulwark.com/p/the-doomsd...
Omg this whole piece is like a glass of fine wine
The word "insouciance" is what got me.

Wanna guess why Mark Carney just got the highest approval rating in the history of Canadian politics? www.thebulwark.com/p/canada-ame...
Canada can't confront the US. But by dint of geography and resources it ca be a counterweight making America’s life difficult because it (a) sits on our doorstep and (b) has the ability to draw closer to both the EU and China.
Dear Democrats,
You don't have to be perfectly fair and nuanced about the cost/benefits of data centers, or AI, or Flock cameras.
You can just demagogue the ever-loving shit out of *all* of it.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The American president is no longer leader of the free world.
Worse: The American president is not indifferent to the free world. He is openly opposed to it. And he counts the new leaders of the free world as his personal enemies.

One of the most depressing things I've written, which is a competitive category. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-vs-t...
Was Natalie Harp's first video about Trump a testimonial or slashfic? Because it ends with a title card suggesting that she was playing a character . . .

However crazy you think the Trump-Natalie Harp stuff is, the reality is so much worse. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-and-...
I'll just straight-up beg: I'm more excited about this piece than anything I've written in months. Give it a try: www.thebulwark.com/p/donald-tru...
Hello, 9-1-1? I'd like to report a murder?
Maybe Hassett can sell his house and move to a small town next to one to set a proper example for the peasants. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
This is shaping up to be the greatest day in online Philadelphia history
