I was shocked at how I felt when Scalia died. I didn’t view myself as a person who’d be happy with someone dying, but when the only choice is for that person to act as an oppressor or to die, it becomes pretty easy to root for death. Since I don’t see McConnell losing an election or ever retiring, I guess I’m rooting…

Tucker Carlson loves to talk about repressed speech on his show. I'm sure this will be his leading segment.

Neither. I hit Answer, hold the phone squarely in front of my face and start yelling at whoever had the temerity or bad judgment to try and reach me by phone.

It’s only a Hail Mary if the QB and at least three other players on the offense who are on the field are simultaneously praying the rosary while the ball is in the air. Challenges will be allowed if the coach of the team on defense believes that they’re not using the correct prayers.

Devil’s advocate: if there’s a rule—even an unwritten one—saying that PI can only be called when a receiver isn’t running a “hail mary” pattern, then you’ll have the Patriots figuring out exactly how many yards have to be between receivers and then running a play in which their receivers are exactly that many yards…

This was one of the most successful parts of the New Deal. Putting people to work at above starvation wages is great policy alone. In a Green New Deal, having those workers build an independent energy infrastructure that is carbon and nuclear free fulfills a necessary step for our future prosperity and very survival.

This is a man who was born in Calgary Alberta Canada and supported the Birtherism campaign against Barack Obama. He has absolutely no shame.

the only reason he thinks he can get away with it is literally every single experience he’s ever had.

The thing that gets me about this is that there’s literally no other scenario in the world where a dink like Stevens would do this to someone like Lowry who could clearly and easily kick the shit out of him. The only thing that lets someone like Stevens think he can get away with it is a lifetime of thinking that…

Billy shut it all down with “Homer,” but I thought we had a good run.

What was I doing in your office bathroom mirror?

“If he doesn’t, and the Raptors win, do they get the asterisk for beating the Warriors without Durant, or do the Warriors get asterisks for titles they won with him?”

“She made a mistake concerning her heritage! UNFORGIVABLE! OUTRAAAAAGE!”

“She’s a nerd! I don’t like all that smart talk! I want someone who breathes fire and fury and inspires me, not someone who has detailed, well-articulated, and actionable plans to solve a number of systemic issues plaguing the nation!”

“She’s a…

The DNA thing was stupid but the fact that people are clinging so hard to what amounts as a gaffe, while excusing more abhorrent behavior from other frontrunners, is straight up misogyny.

She really does. She was an early frontrunner for me, and I specifically didn’t want to commit to anything because I felt like my mind could change, but really every single day she gets more and more solid. When I envision a Warren presidency, I see EXACTLY what I want for our future.

She’s the candidate I wanted in 2016 and the best hope we have to at least delay our inevitable demise. On policy, she’s the best mainstream candidate of my entire life.

Every time I hear Senator Warren speak—or read one of her policy papers—I become further convinced that she’s the best candidate in the Democratic field.

Unfortunately, too many folks are focused on her DNA test kerfuffle to see the strength of policy, rhetorical ability, and general wherewithal she brings to the…
