gotta hand this one to leftists: the party establishment is in fact unspeakably evil

no fan of jeffries, but holy shit is this article misleading. in the press briefing he calls for "a prohibition that DHS cannot *detain* or deport American citizens", and his focus throughout the briefing is on the detainment part

My guess is that subordinates *probably* malinger enough to avoid this catastrophe (or courts shut it down fast), but what's really worrisome about this to me is that it shows Trump is *extremely* salty at Canada and NATO and is determined to find some way to make them pay for humiliating him.

I do give Walz *some* benefit of the doubt for the awful things he's gone through over the past 2 years but... Bro, come on.

D+10 WOOOO

As a voter, you can make demands without gaming out the politics. Do people know this?

democrats tell their base they cant do anything in the minority but the problem is we've had multiple instances over the last 20 years of watching republicans do shit while in the minority so we know the dems are full of it.

I can live with sports betting existing in a vacuum, but this idea that all of society should constantly be wagered on *too* - to the degree that a movie's potential Rotten Tomatoes score should not only be wagered on but constitutes as news now... abominable.

Wait, can we talk about how repulsive it is that CNN now has a Kalshi betting market prediction tracker as their news crawl? Because that's a dystopia indicator right there.

the demands schumer laid out, in light of existing rules and current ICE practices, are not a serious effort at modifying ICE’s behavior in any meaningful sense. they’re an attempt to mollify the base with meaningless bullshit without actually changing anything so they can move on to affordability

any news outlet not framing this as a threat but ~de-escalation~ is lying to you

If DeWine supports Haitians in Ohio, it’s time for him to consult his god, understand he will never be president but he can be defender of free people and America in a way most presidents will never be, and do everything in his power to keep the ravenous monsters who run his party out of his state

The best thing is that no one in Minnesota can vote for Lander. He just went there because it's the right thing to do.

This is Brad Lander doing pulltabs in the Uptown VFW. He’s one of us now

The "problem" this is trying to solve is people looking at images of naked people online. This is not a real problem. It is genuinely completely insane that politicians care about this at all

"Trump seemed to signal a willingness" is a phrase you should not ever put into writing, never mind put into writing for the public. That is not a story. That's a vibe. bsky.app/profile/pbsn...

"Trump seemed willing to" "Trump indicated that he would" Lord do you hear yourself. Just use your judgment. Your reporting conventions have locked you into saying the stupidest shit that plays right into the little show they put on where they don't actually do anything different

Isn't this guy French?

This is a scheduled pogrom

these would have been bare acceptable demands last October and I don't know what to tell you if you do not believe that your party should be trying harder to negotiate on an issue where they have massive advantage and public sentiment is spiraling in their favor

this is the opening gambit of a party that desperately wants this issue to go away because it’s distracting them from talking about the price of [whatever] and they hope this mollifies you.

if that’s DOA, so what? good! that means you get to keep an issue you’re winning on in the news! make trump own the killings!!!

jesus christ that's weak

an actual demand would include at minimum miller out, noem out, all the evidence ICE stole turned over to local authorities to facilitate prosecutions of rene goode’s and alex pretti’s murders, to say nothing of oversight of detention centers.

This is what it's always been.

I regret to inform everyone that Trump still has moments of being very funny.

For my money, the best Dem President in living memory was Lyndon B. Johnson. But I'm not in my 80s, so Obama is definitely the best of my lifetime. Which I don't think is a very high bar.

aren't Armenians like. famously Republican. is George Deukmejian a joke to you

The Groyper Right is going to overtake the GOP in 10 years and it's going to be even more horrible than ever.

Exactly the kind of message Democrats always should say about Immigration. And why it should be liberalized.

I see people saying this is her trying to take them down with her but I think she’s dumb enough to think that lashing herself tightly enough to Trump and Miller will protect her with other republicans.

Once you start noticing it you can't stop: when the real Trump falters and is incapable of defending his administration (more and more frequent) the actual Trump is "subbed out" of news coverage for an invented, imaginary, often explicitly hypothetical version of Trump who is reasonable and cogent

I honestly do not know if most liberals and leftists are aware that “Mexican” is a slur all by itself in the Red Country but that is in fact the state of affairs Keep that in mind when you feel the urge to indulge the endless whining about “securing the border” to satisfy some potbellied Iowan hick

Which is it?

Detroit Margins.

He had a syringe. A syringe filled with…idk (urine?) The President of the United States has incited this kind of action against a sitting, Black woman member of Congress. Where is the “tone down the rhetoric” brigade?

gallego sucks (his position on trans issues means I will never trust him) but it's very good that a frontline, moderate-coded member of the senate caucus is calling for miller's head and hopefully it will help drag the rest of the squishes towards this position

What the fuck man? I log on to learn Ilhan Omar was assaulted?

It's hard to overperform this much when the district is already D+A Billion. Minnesota fucking hates the GOP in their bones now.

What on earth is that headline? The claim that Pretti wanted to “massacre” federal agents wasn’t “misleading.” It was a slanderous fabrication with not the slightest basis in reality.

Dork Takes Out No Pussy Getting On Entire Country

I guess this is punishment for spygate or whatever but this is stupid, the guy has an excellent case for greatest football coach of all time and keeping him out of the Hall for a year is ridiculous

“Die alone like us” is a pretty accurate description, I guess.

Not good, but I expect that yet again these House Projections will not be nearly as bad as anticipated. The growth of FL and TX are starting to slow down.

honestly we’re discounting the probability that republicans say no to the initial offer if dems are signaling a desire to cave for modest stuff off the bat. you dont open a negotiation with your reservation point

If you'd like to see what the right thinks might I suggest looking at anything that the federal government is doing right now?

I do not understand how this shit still gets to brand itself as edgy heterodox thinking opposed to the lameo establishment after Donald Trump became a dictator with the backing of the world’s richest man and the most watched news network in America.
