if trump had balls he’d give us this instead of stupid battleship

lol wut. dropping from 42 percent approval to 36 percent approval seems pretty significant. apnews.com/article/trum...

i think a (perhaps underappreciated) aspect of this whole situation is the extent to which every elite profession is filled with people who excel at drawing attention and want to be famous more than they want to do the actual job

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

not to sound like a goldwaterite, but voters want a choice and not an echo.

I think it’s even stronger, I actually don’t know any Pennsylvania Democrats who think he could get past a primary! Like, if former Senator Bob Casey wanted to run against him—not that he’s the best available candidate or that he’s even expressed interest—it’d be like 80–20.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

i think online gambling is a cancer that is spreading throughout our society, it was a horrible mistake to de-regulate it, and we desperately need to crack down on it again

I will say it again; the Democrats need openly create a list of civil servants called the Dirty Dozen that will be subject to impeachment in 2026, The Constitution provides that “… all civil Officers of the United States” are subject to removal from office upon impeachment.”

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

Media standards: 1) No Democratic scandal on par with Trump-Epstein, so it’d be biased and unfair to five it much attention. 2) Trump wouldn’t be shamed into resigning and his cult of personality wouldn’t abandon him, so Trump-Epstein wasn’t worth pursuing. Way too many think that’s journalism.

Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

TV conspiracies: we’ve hacked their computers but they’ve perfectly cleaned up the evidence! Real conspiracies: To: conspirator From: famous person Attachment: evidence.png

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

BREAKING: We won! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

ME AS A CHILD: i cant wait till im an adult, then i can finally Do Things ME AS AN ADULT: the spectre of Things To Do haunts me from sunup to sundown, and beyond

After the Rubygems drama, I felt frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life. I found myself mourning the future I thought we would have; but also hopeful that it’s not too late to start choosing kindness. Join me in building a better future: okayfail.com/2025/in-prai...

Agree. Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them." This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

It’s flabbergasting that you could pick just about any random American off the street and they would show infinitely more political willpower and courage than our entire cadre of alleged leaders and titans of business. We’re a nation occupied by a tiny upper class of cowards.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not. If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Give Bill Kristol an Eva and point him at the Senate Democratic Caucus.

My sympathies to everyone who was champing at the bit to yell at Democrats, better luck next time

great day for the legal theory of "not guilty if it's funny enough"

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Inbox— next cover of the New Yorker: “Mayor Mamdani,” by Edel Rodriguez

Events per second in the firehose. The yellow and blue lines are 1 day and 1 week ago, respectively

me yelling at all of you tonight

i can't stop thinking about this video. how the campaign started w/ Mamdani as an unknown basically...just like out reporting on the political apathy in 2024. figuring out why people felt jaded. and then working to bring about the opposite. beyond remarkable www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Tur...

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

A pro-affordability, anti-Trump-corruption message unites the party. Every candidate can run on that, and every candidate can have their own take to fit that to their constituents. There's really no need to find fights to pick when the party agrees on more than it disagrees

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

yeah; worth emphasizing this isn't just about schumer personally being a piece of shit. He's striking at the core of the Democratic coalition, telling tons of progressives and New Yorkers that they aren't welcome.

I’m really starting to suspect that most of the tech bros haven’t actually read Tolkien, as they certainly don’t understand it. The gentle hobbits save the “hard men” of Gondor, largely through compassion and selflessness. Not the other way around. The Christian parable is barely hidden!

An Air Canada flight right now

The selection of Garland as AG and his failure to act was about ten bajillion times more consequential than any campaign strategy decision www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Here it comes, folks. I volunteer at a food pantry twice a month. We got slammed today - twice our usual number of households, a bunch we'd never seen before, and people lined up waiting for us to open. It's gonna get bad fast.

dickerson is one of the best broadcast journalists in the game, and someone who would clearly be a real asset to a new leader interested in strengthening the network's journalism. but, of course, we know weiss isn't actually interested in journalism as such.
