The story of the Iran war is that Trump lost it in the first days. Everything since has been trying to deny that cardinal fact. You can see this by the fact that everything happening since has been trying to break free Iran’s hold on the strait, something it didn’t have before the war.

The only thing Trump and Jesus have in common is that some of their biggest fans badly misunderstand what they’re actually about.

Republicans in Congress have cucked themselves to a dying pedophile. The people who claim to care most about the constitution and America have abdicated their constitutional duty to corrupt, demented tyrant. I never want to pretend these people believe in anything ever again.

"Elon Musk is a white supremacist" is a 100% objectively true factual statement no major outlet would you let say without extensive qualification in an opinion piece, much less allow in straight reporting.

Remarkably, much of political science doesn’t consider this to be “money in politics”

See you all at the Correspondents’ Dinner!

Democrats really missed a huge opportunity to brand Trump as a failson who inherited tens of millions of dollars from his daddy and then largely blew it, but played a rich guy on reality TV.

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

I genuinely think some people do not want to look this in the eye/think about it because it is so awful. We wrote what I thought was a pretty eye-opening story about all this and I was surprised by the lack of engagement tbh

The core problem isn’t that our politicians are old (although they are), it’s that our political system and the constitution its based upon are decrepit. The old politicians we have are elected as part of a dusty two party system, outdated bicameralism, and a busted electoral college.

This is literally and metaphorically a rich person's idea of a political protest.

The theme of this year's Nerd Prom: fascist bootlicking.

this is one of the best memes of all time

The Trump regime, which is unconstitutionally withholding evidence that the President sexually abused children, sent the FBI to investigate an NYT reporter for investigating the FBI director’s use of government planes for his girlfriend. Just a true thing that we learned about today!

Donald Trump is losing the 2026 election and he’s preparing to try to steal it—because he can’t accept the American people are overwhelmingly rejecting him. Democrats should be direct and clear about this—it’s not about the last election, but the next one.

The anti-human techno-fascist oligarchs who are racing to create AI superintelligence hate being human. They are genuinely some of the most miserable beings to ever walk this planet. For our sake, and theirs, we can’t allow them to control our fate.

This man sounds like Kermit the Frog and looks like a sweet potato that exploded in the microwave. I can’t believe there is anyone in America who believes he’s the picture of health.

its absolutely incredible watching people not realize the stakes watching DOJ being weaponized against SPLC and not realizing that its basically an existential fight for the republic now

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

Anyway, at the risk of sounding like a weirdo who is too online-- I'm really grateful to y'all, Bluesky. We are strangers-- but not, as many of you have supported me through the WaPo firing, my fighting journeys, through my father's passing-- --and basically rebuilding my life at nearly 40.

X is a critical component of the regime’s communications and information control system. Pro-democracy forces should boycott X because it’s not a neutral platform—it’s main purpose is spreading regime propaganda and discrediting pro-democracy actors.

I’m officially “buy most of my clothes from CostCo” years old.

Pablo is on an all-timer heater and @bencollins.bsky.social is an amazing guest. I am absolutely in love with this pairing.

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally. It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/palantir-w...

I can’t believe the company that’s founded by a fascist vampire and named after an evil wizard‘s all seeing stone has some fucked up ideas about politics.

This week marks the 83rd anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. We remember the courage of our ancestors in the face of their annihilation.

this morning, mamdani’s team got in touch with me to float a new tax proposal: if your net worth exceeds $5 million and you dress badly, you’ll be hit with a 10% annual levy for “visual pollution.” i would be in charge of deciding if the outfits are bad.

Four Democrats voted with the GOP on reauthorizing a little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens. If you’re represented by Gluesenkamp Perez, Golden, Gottheimer, or Suozzi, ask them why they’re siding with the Trump regime on government surveillance.

I regret to inform you that “drunken idiot who isn’t interested in working” is the best case scenario for FBI director in a Trump regime.

They're calling it the best democracy ever. www.ft.com/content/7529...

So at the risk of maybe overreading this and making an educated guess, I think I can guess what specifically Wyden is talking about. I think it's about use of AI (LLMs) by FBI to surveil American communications without a warrant

really does feel like we have a bunch of commentators who would like to just say “the bell curve was right”

This is an almost perfect example of why the ruling class turns to fascism to crush the threat of socialism and the power of the working class.

I wish I could put money on this.

Nope. Nope. Nope. This post is just two false statements.

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😍

If young people aren't as present at No Kings protests as we'd expect, I'd argue it's because they don't want to protect the political system we have. They want to change the political system.

Not sure we're doing Vibecession Discourse again, but two thoughts: 1. Bidenomics mostly consisted of economic policies that were mediated through the market or tax code. People are much more likely to perceive benefit from direct government provision. Those policies can't pass the U.S. Senate.

I’m actually surprised to learn that the median age of No Kings participants is estimated to be 48—somehow still younger than the median general election voter, who is in their early 50s, or the median primary voter, who is in their late 50s

Interesting that Sharon Simmons, the Door Dasher from Arkansas at the White House, is also Sharon Simmons from Nevada that testified at a GOP Ways and Means field hearing about trumps ‘big beautiful bill’ in Nevada last year.

NEW: Raskin, w/ 50 House Dem co-sponsors, formally introduces a bill which would create a commission to assess Trump's fitness for office under the 25th Amendment. Bill text here: www.documentcloud.org/documents/28... Story TK

Tech founders are so innovative that they invented feudalism.
