Ave Maria from the west of Ireland, in memory of Pope Francis. A voice of compassion through difficult times. A great loss

@PutnamTVAds Laughed so hard at “what does tearing up the rule book even mean?”
100% agree. We need clearer & bolder messaging.

Companies should do NBA style trade deals.

I want to see OpenAI trade its COO and CFO to Anthropic in exchange for their CMO, a cracked PM, and a couple of Waterloo Class of 2026 new grads.

[Martin O'Malley @MartinOMalley]

Now more than ever we need a relentless opposition and a hopeful proposition—a Democratic Party that prioritizes the economy and your kitchen table issues over Trump and his billionaire friends.

@catdaly the only inauguration that mattered today. May your term be full of power moves <3

[Wendy Davis @wendydavis]

I am so deeply saddened by the news of our dear friend, @CecileRichards, passing. She was a light, a champion, a force for good. As her family says below - to honor her legacy and life, let’s do everything we can in this moment to create the just world that everyone deserves. Rest in power dear friend. 💔

I wrote the cover story of the February issue of The Atlantic. It builds on a lot of reporting I did throughout 2024, and I'm really proud of it.

It’s called: THE ANTI-SOCIAL CENTURY

The thesis: Rising solitude is the most important social fact in American life today. The historic amounts of time that Americans spend alone and in their homes is reshaping the consumer economy—from dining to entertainment to delivery—warping our politics, alienating us from the realities of our neighbors and villages, and changing our very personalities.

Here are the basic facts:

1. In the last few years, in-person socialization has declined, for every demographic group, to its lowest point on record

2. The typical American is now alone more than in any period where we have decent data, going back to at least 1965

3. Americans now spend an extra 99 minutes in their homes compared to 2003—a trend that crept up slowly before the pandemic, before exploding and remaining at a seriously elevated level. As Princeton’s Patrick Sharkey wrote in a 2024 paper, the homebound trend isn't just about remote work. Homebound life has “risen for every subset of the population and for virtually all activities” from eating to praying.

4. America's social depression is far-reaching. The share of adults having dinner or drinks with friends on any given night has declined by more than 30% in the past 20 years. The share of boys and girls who say they meet up with friends almost daily outside school hours has declined by nearly 50%.

I don’t think these trends are simple. In many cases, they’re not even simply bad. (Ordering delivery: totally fine! Eating more meals alone, year after year after year: not so great!) But to see these trends—and their effects on American society—more clearly, I thought this phenomenon needed an anchoring, a naming, a media artifact for people to talk about, even if only to point out that I’m wrong. So, I wrote this.

It was good to have Rep.-elect Tom Barrett come by my congressional office today as part of the responsible transition process. I’ve been through presidential transitions before, so the team and I have been planning for a smooth transition of #MI07 for over a year. 1/2
