Terrific @TheAtlantic piece on archaeologists' and anthropologists' slowly dawning realization that now-submerged areas on the coastal shelf--swathes of land drowned when the glaciers melted--may be where much of our species' early history took place. (Link in reply)
‘Dare Him To Veto It’
Sen. Elizabeth Warren tells @RollingStone that fear of Trump shouldn’t stand in the way of a bold reform agenda.

I get no less than 100 pitchslop emails a day. You are not special.

A good PR person is responsive, shares useful information with you, and — critically — doesn’t crash out in a temper tantrum when you’ve got a critical story about their client. Those are the pros.
The industry overall, however, is dominated by egomaniacs blasting AI slop
Watching Texas reporters beat up on this has been the best part of my day
Very glad she won, but Gina Hinojosa maybe a rare example of a red state Dem who I think is genuinely much too conservative on the merits.

House GOP leaders just successfully killed Massie's push to impeach Secretary Hegseth, per @sarahnferris.

Van Hollen:
“We have two members in that room, newly elected senators, who would not be there if Schumer and the DSCC had had their way. [They] sided with the crypto industry and AIPAC against these candidates, and my strong view is only under very, very rare exceptions should the DSCC be weighing in.”

Many Texans would be better off with an income tax than high property taxes, but you have to know nothing about Texas politics to think Gina is the one who should put her body in the gears over this point

we need a new style of personal essay…from men who completely abandon themselves in pursuit of diminishing amounts of attention from beautiful accomplished women. I know just the guy to write it

What a laughable, lazy take. Whether good policy or not, a state income tax is a complete non-starter. You would have to change the state constitution, which requires a two-thirds vote in each chamber of the Lege and voter approval. Ain’t gonna happen.

JD Vance: It sure would be nice if I could offload the fuck ups of our administration onto someone else
Also JD Vance:
Has Pete Hegseth committed impeachable crimes? The question is absurd and the answer is: obviously not.
Like so much of Congress, impeachment has become a ridiculous show that stands in for actual policymaking. Congress has so many tools for registering its policy disagreements. Rather than use them, they're going to try to impeach Pete Hegseth. They did the same to Donald Trump. Legislation is hard. Impeachments are easy (and ultimately, inconsequential).
The irony is that legislators are most angry at Pete on the issues where he's most correct: repositioning forces away from Europe/Ukraine and reorganizing the general officer corps.
This isn't about Iran, this is about the fact that Pete took on the bureaucracy at the Pentagon.

A neo-Nazi influencer accidentally livestreamed himself having cyber-sex, horrifying his stunned fans. Now his movement is in chaos.

New: @Senfronia4Texas names her transition team, which includes six former speakers.
Ben Barnes, Gib Lewis, Pete Laney, Joe Straus, Dennis Bonnen, and Dade Phelan. #txlege
Whenever people tell me that they didn't know Rolling Stone covered politics I direct them to the fact that our very first issue led with a still from an anti-war film released at the height of the Vietnam War <3
59 years ago today, @RollingStone published the first issue of a magazine that forever changed journalism, culture, music -- also my life & career.
