I have long argued that media doesn’t focus enough on Stephen miller and I think it’s partly because he’s so repulsive that even the trumpists want to pretend he doesn’t exist and this seems to support that theory!

There is something real about Trump hires curing your imposter syndrome. Now that I’ve seen the new press secretary I am convinced that actually I am very good at public speaking. A genius, possibly

The thing about Gillis's monologue isn't just that it's misogynistic; it's that it's misogynistic in the most unoriginal, dated, cringe-ily 1982 would-be Andrew Dice Clay way. Like, wow slut shaming women in workout clothes, where'd you dig that fossil up

The misogyny in this letter is appalling and if Bessent had ever sent something like this to a woman colleague in the private sector he’d have been sued for gender discrimination and fired. What an asshole

I looked at the exchanges yesterday to see what it would cost my family of three to get basic health insurance. The cheapest package was $2200. It is insane that anyone in this country opposes universal health care because they might be taxed at a fraction of what they pay for for healthcare now.

This contractor has far more integrity than the crook who hired them. They can admit mistakes and don’t like to see other people suffer for them

I can't believe we still have to remind people of these things but: most rape victims don't file police reports. (You're reading one right now.) Shock, denial, need to appease the rapist, nominally friendly behavior toward the rapist, etc. are all common reactions

It’s crazy that he is negotiating on behalf of the U.S. at all. He has no government appointment and no one elected him and he has no business being in those meetings even without the grift

This is why I moved off Substack to Ghost. The Nazis will migrate to any big platform but when a platform actively promotes them, that is a choice

This is so stupid and crazy it wouldn’t have passed muster in the Veep writer’s room. Also demonstrates that they’d be insane to share any real intel with Patel.

As with everything he says, this is wildly uninformed. Formula keeps getting better and saves lives. And modern research indicates that outcomes are roughly the same. There are reasons to breastfeed but your child isn’t suffering if you don’t
