“Who are all these people?” Medlyn keeps asking.

Their softball squad, Team Pressure, has been playing in McCarren Park for years, but they don’t quite know what to make of the scrum of humanity they’ve encountered this time-it’s a sunny Saturday in mid-October, and the field is full of so many individuals engaged in so many recreational activities it looks more like an architectural rendering than real life. Today’s session includes Medlyn, a gangly performance artist also known as the rapper Champagne Jerry (sample lyric: “I have a medium-sized dick, my dick is medium sized!”), and Murray Hill, a gender-bending entertainer who frequently opens for Dita von Teese. Everett is at McCarren Park for “Catch Club,” as she and her friends call their weekly softball practice, but so far this Catch Club hasn’t involved all that much actual catch. He looks up just in time for the ball to sail over his head. We could not have a weaker hold on the Senate and with those two we clearly need more liberal Senators.Watch out!” yells Bridget Everett, the alt-cabaret singer in possession of an extravagantly dirty mouth, an unexpectedly pure voice, and, until a moment ago, a softball she has now lobbed in the direction of her friend Neal Medlyn.

They are both voting with conservatives and beholden to special interests you get the nation. Bernie, FDR or Obama could not get Sinema and Manchin to carve out the filibuster or nix it entirely. You know the simple math, we need to gain a few Dem Senators and retain the House to protect and codify marriage equality, a woman’s right to choose, birth control, etc. We really need to encourage young people to register to vote and bring friends and vote. “It actually makes sense that in the aftermath of Barack Obama-with Black people’s levels of support and warmth for the Democratic Party in decline and the belief among a small sect of African Americans that is just as racist as the Republican Party-that actually frees some people up to actually vote Republican.” Plus, the staff writer Emma Green, who covers the pro-life movement, discusses how individuals’ positions seldom reflect the furious partisan divide, and she shares some nuanced sources that have informed her reporting. has really wholeheartedly embraced white-grievance politics,” Leah Wright Rigueur tells David Remnick, “they are endorsing more Black candidates than they have in the past twenty-five years.” Rigueur is a historian at Johns Hopkins University and the author of “The Loneliness of the Black Republican.” The G.O.P., she argues, is exploiting a moment when the long-standing relationship between Black Americans and the Democratic Party is weakening, and it aims to capitalize on an “everyday conservatism” among voters. The Republican Party has recently attracted an almost unprecedented number of Black candidates to its fold-more than at any time since the Reconstruction era.
