I'm pretty sure I'm going to be linking and reposting this URL for years to come.
New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Friends, if you still post on X, I think less of you. I don't hate you. Not gonna cancel you. But your posting on X gives me reason to doubt your judgment & your commitment to sticking up for vulnerable people against powerful predators. I'm not perfect, either! But I'm not fucking posting on X.
Over six months, we tracked the appearance of child sexual abuse material on X. We found images from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's database, which is considered one of the most highly vetted and which many tech companies block on upload. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/t...

This is a really interesting piece in Mother Jones. I'm not sure I would say I *enjoyed* it, tho. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Please, all senators (looking especially at you, @markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov) vote NO! No more Trump appointments to the bench. Our judicial system is already failing us to often because of the damage he has done to the judiciary.
The Senate has convened... There is one vote at 5:30 p.m. on cloture on the nomination of Benjamin Flowers to be U.S. Circuit Judge for the Sixth Circuit. dailypress.senate.gov

How about when he threw an angry tantrum in defense of a SCOTUS nominee credibly accused of rape? Did you all have a good collegial chuckle over that?
What I’ll remember most about Senator Graham was his sense of humor and how he deployed it to move his policy positions forward. Though we did not often agree, Senator Graham was never disagreeable.

Racist Announces He's Not Ashamed of Racism
Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

For the first time in US history, a sitting Chief Justice is facing articles of impeachment. John Roberts' corruption is now permanently etched into the historical record. Read the details of the six articles filed against him: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/great-news...

Looks like the Carroll "perjury" case is an attempt to SPLC Reid Hoffman's charity. Kind of amazing that Trump's DOJ is going after Carroll for someone else paying her legal bills — Trump's PACs pay all his legal fees, plus those of his co-conspirators. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Please watch this. The slush fund agreement between DOJ and Trump is NOT the worst part of the news. This video is produced by @lawyeroyer.com : www.youtube.com/shorts/AsEfD...

@markwarner.bsky.social Please vote "NO" on ICE funding/funding increases.
ICE and CBP are spending taxpayer dollars to terrorize our cities. We absolutely cannot continue to fund this lawlessness.
