David French's point is sharper than a simple anti-MAGA scold. Republicans spent years selling young men a parody of manhood: Trump, Kid Rock, Russell Brand, Andrew Tate, swagger without character, dominance without virtue. Then men 18-44 moved sharply left in the House vote.
French argues young men do not actually want Biff Tannen as a role model. They want models of courage, discipline, competence, and decency. A movement built on grievance and peacocking mistook male frustration for moral permission. A lot of men chose differently.

Don’t get me wrong, the Jordan Davis trade an insanely good return by Howie. Makes total sense too considering how highly the team values Ojomo (and also, admittedly, the production you were getting from JD this year)
I just loved the guy and I’m sad he’s gone.

With 56 senators, it’s starting to *really* look like Dems will have the votes to switch to a talking filibuster, effectively abolishing it.
That just means that under the next GOP trifecta, the SAVE act will pass immediately. So too will a national abortion ban. And we’ll have to live with all of that for at least two years. Which is easier said than done. Because if what the save act does to married women is true, then it’ll be somewhat difficult to just “vote” our way out of that.
Maybe we’ll just decide that we can just put all this stuff on the back burner for the next six to eight years, since that’s how long it will realistically take for the GOP to regain the Senate majority, but man. There will be hell to pay when these new rules are in effect under the next GOP trifecta.
Maybe that’s just the way it has to go down, for things to get better *long-term*. But either way… just putting this out there.

Partisan politics aside, the fact that you call the world’s most powerful man a loser to his face and not face risks of criminal charges is one of the greatest achievements of America’s founding fathers

I love him.
I want to share a brief update.
My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America's role in the world. More than anything, it's about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy.
While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families. My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know.
Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as many conversations about my book as I’d hoped. However, I’m hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves.
Looking forward, I'm going to keep following what my father told me a long time ago: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up." It's a good lesson for me. And for America.
We are blessed. America is the most unique nation on earth. Unlike other countries, we're built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? All of us are created equal.
Promise Me, America, we'll never forget it.

wonder if evangelicals will hold “i’m a religious person so in theory i go to heaven” to the same amount of doctrinal hair-splitting scrutiny as talarico’s “God is non binary.”
“I'm a religious person, so in theory I go to heaven,” President Trump says, discussing what he thinks happens after death. “I don't want to go to hell.” cbsn.ws/4iJ55dC

When I call them soulless ghouls, this is what I mean. A man devotes his entire adult life to public service, survives unimaginable personal tragedy, is fighting cancer, and this piece of shit feels the need to tweet this. Fuck you @AlexThomp
God's most dedicated Democrat, he didn't want the announcement of the book or the upcoming sale of it to ever hang over the midterms.
I have a strong feeling, as a historian, he'll eventually be viewed among the Democratic Party as an LBJ figure - progressive who got stuff done.

Have you considered that a Nazi gun YouTuber is a worse candidate than a ESL teacher (in a very Latino seat!) and foster care lawyer?

“they could still make the playoffs with a win”
we’re not the Cardinals; we won the Super Bowl two years ago, I don’t need a one-and-done moral victory playoff appearance

A relatively entertaining first half of football followed up by a second half tank job to hep secure a top five pick.
Perfect afternoon of 2026 Eagles football.

One thing I highly recommend for people trying to understand how Wikipedia works is to check their talk page for this article. It's nice to see the argument shifting in real time as the academic community switches from only anti-Israel weirdos calling it a genocide to it being+

Ok, I didn’t expect a story time on Saturday, but here we go. What I’m about to write is TRUE. It is insane, stupid, and very dumb, but it is true. Earlier today Donald J Trump, the p[resident of the United States, posted that he had offered the job of Press Secretary to Dana White. Well, it was the wrong Dana White… 🧵

Stephen Miller is not a staffing person, and nobody is allowed to every correct Trump. So, today hw says the UFC chairman was offered the job of press secretary. He was not. This is a four seasons total landscaping situation, and it is on the anniversary of that hilariously incompetent event.

Somewhere in corrupt Dem consultant-land, a group of “strategists” really thought “pull the masks down and turn the bodycams on” was gonna knock our socks off.
We all know Alex Pretti’s murder was captured on bodycam, right? Renee Good’s was captured on cell ph video being recorded like bodycam. Elsewhere, bodycams haven’t done shit to reduce non-ICE use of force incidents. Yet they’re a CENTERPIECE of centrist ICE “reform” proposals?
What’s Jeffries’ and Schumer’s goal here—do they just want better quality video of ICE kidnapping, assaulting and/or killing innocent people? Or do they just want to see the faces of the perpetrators so they know exactly who DOJ is refusing to prosecute?
America is so G-D sick of this infuriating lack of conviction or real action from Dem leaders. It’s never going to change until there’s a change in leadership itself.
