Read excerpt
“Let’s get through 2026 first.” “You should be focusing on November!” “Why are you tearing him down? Do you want the Republicans to win?”Every time I post thoughts about the next presidency, I’m reproached by other Democrats for “diverting” attention away from the 2026 elections.

The Pitt” may be the only actual reality show on television, a master class in what it’s like to be diabetic without health insurance…to have to drive hours to find an open hospital to treat an asthmatic catastrophe…to try to communicate what’s hurting you when you’re deaf and there’s no budget for an ASL interpreter…to flee the waiting room with an untreated illness because ICE has invaded.

HOW THE MEDIA HELPED ELECT TRUMP IN 2024 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
2026 Introduction: First of all, we need to recognize that we’re always dealing with stories. No news comes to us by way of bald facts. They are always encased in narratives. Sometimes those narratives are deliberately constructed to persuade, entertain, inflame. Other times, some narrative is “in the air,” surreptitiously setting the terms of what’s worth talking about and how it should be talked about.
