I’m not sure how you can say that Lincoln was Republican in name only, given that he was the first Republican president, and at that time, “Republican” quite literally meant the more liberal faction that had broken from the Whig Party. 

I’d ask if Lesley Stahl asked any questions about how her investment in charter schools affects her decision to push charter schools, or how her investment in companies that collect student debt affect her decision to make it harder for students to get relief from predatory debt, but I think I already know the answer.

You want to provide some evidence for that?

Right now there are millions of women all over the world that are, in fact, saying loudly and clearly that men responding to women expressing discomfort by pressing harder is, in fact, a continuum that has relatively innocuous behavior on one end, with rape on the other. Because the thing that connects all of these…

Yeah, but the opioid crisis is a result of Purdue lying about OxyContin not being addictive, lying about how many hours it worked for in order to get it approved by the FDA, spending tens of millions on targeted research and seminars to get the medical establishment to start considering pain a vital sign to be…

I have to caption it. We’re supposed to clean up people’s grammar as we go, but after I did a standard pass of the speech pulling us out of the Paris agreement, I said “fuck this” and went back and made it more accurate. I now do him as close to verbatim as I can get away with. It’s the only thing I can do to not feel…

Faygo.

My roommate spent most of the last ten years either in the UK or New Zealand, and we have had several cheerful discussions about the relative severity of various forms of English invective across different English-speaking countries. As he once put it, “in Scotland, cunt is one of the milder insults, it’s what you…

People are upset not simply because an underage actor was made to perform a kiss that wasn’t in the script.
