It’s fun how after a big Republican victory, Democrats start in-fighting and Republicans celebrate, and after a big Democratic victory Republicans start in-fighting and Democrats also start in-fighting

I wrote hundreds of stories for Salon between 2005 and 2007. Sky was the limit, with an expense account for travel. Have fun. Push the boundaries. Break news. This was the riot that taught me how to cover campaigns, with the freedom to write like it was still the 1970s. Salon may be gone, but we all live in the shadow of what Salon showed the country about online journalism. Deeply grateful to Joan Walsh, Walter Shapiro, Kerry Lauerman, Mark Benjamin, Gary Kamiya, and all the others. Read the archive before it goes dark: salon.com/writer/michael_sch…
Today, after 31 years, we are saddened to announce that Salon is ceasing publication. It has been an extraordinary privilege. salon.com/2026/11/05/goodbye…

Massive hoop earrings. Purple vest (silk, I think.) Bejeweled headband. Monkey with a hat. And these are just some of the very real fashions I spotted at the Michigan Democratic Party's election night celebration

Hitching your wagon to a presidential candidate who has no credibility while throwing shade at @AOC who fought like hell to keep you in congress? Sorry but political instincts like this cost him a lot and will continue to cost him.

Looking into this
The Working Families Party has the worst name of any political party ever. I hate Working and I hate my Family. They should call it the Relaxing With Friends Party

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has

Trump yesterday: "Pretend I'm on the ballot."
Trump just now, in his first post in three hours, writes: "I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter."

With the Keisha Lance Bottoms win in Georgia, as many of Joe Biden's endorsed candidates in competitive governor's races have won as Donald Trump's have

The defeated lawmaker gained prominence as a voice for AI safety. Now, he has a plan, and $30 million, for keeping Democrats in line. nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…
