    Trump TV's intentional brainrot - Salon.com (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Despite everything, I sometimes find it hard not to sympathize with Donald Trump. Like Trump, I also chose to make the site of a future climate catastrophe my permanent home. Like Trump, I live in a home more than a century old and spend each day disgusted with the handiwork of the previous inhabitants. Like Trump, I’m fighting a losing battle against decay. I can’t get too mad when Trump smoothes out the columns of the White House or paves over the Rose Garden when I look at my closet shelves s

    Elizabeth Warren’s job doesn’t need to be this hard. The Democratic senator from Massachusetts is leading a cadre of largely left-of-center lawmakers in reviving the Stop Wall Street Looting Act, legislation that would curtail the worst tendencies of private equity firms. These investment firms frequently buy struggling companies in leveraged buyouts, foisting the debt of the purchase back onto the business being bought.

    Mike Johnson's is the GOP's top scaredy-cat (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    If you’ve ever read anything by biographer Robert Caro, you get the feeling that he could wring 100 pages out of what he had for breakfast. His books on New York City planner Robert Moses and President Lyndon B. Johnson function as both biography and challenge, their hefty page counts daring readers to dive in.

    Imagine a stopped cable car sitting at the top of a steep hill in San Francisco. There’s a switch just below the car that would send the trolley onto one of two tracks. You don’t know where either track goes beyond the bottom of the hill, and you can’t see whether either track is obstructed. You’re also unsure of the tracks’ condition. The conductor is nowhere in sight. Do you release the brakes? And can anyone be mad at you if you do? The answer is obvious. Of course you wouldn’t. Releasing a h

    Can America ever move past 9/11? (opens the original)

    Earlier this week in Manhattan, a man stepped up to a microphone at a press conference. His hands were shaking as he added his own story to the chorus of his fellow New Yorkers, and his voice cracked when he raised it for emphasis. He got the name of the mayor, Zohran Mamdani, wrong, mispronouncing it in a different way every time he said it.
