Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

I wouldn't believe anything Michael Wolff says without multiple people corroborating it.

Sometimes a headline can misrepresent a piece that's actually not bad. This is even stupider than the headline indicates.

California tumbles into the sea That'll be the day he goes back to Annandale

I can't believe Biden hasn't banned ICE yet. Yeah, the shitlibs say "that's because he's not president and only Congress has that power" but that's because they're all bought by AIPAC and the League of Women Voters.

Mike Johnson won't be the majority leader after the election. Trump will absolutely attempt to overturn the midterms, but there's a lot of lazy doomerism that assumes that Trump has a plan (he doesn't) and that he'll be able to pull of a coup d'etat with no pushback.

Barring a miracle, Democrats will take the House in November, and Trump will attempt to overturn those results. However, he doesn't even have a strategy for *competing* in the midterms, so there's no chance he has a plan right now for overturning them: www.inquirer.com/politics/ele...

I’ve seen some goofy shit on this site, but I never imagined I’d see “the Senate minority leader should raise a militia to start a civil war.”

Great piece! One minor point: Sargent notes "Trump also has a long history of criticizing changes in NFL rules that have made the game safer for players." However, last fall he raged against the new kickoff rules that actually make the game *less* safe. He doesn't even understand football.

"The US invaded Iraq to protect a future pipeline that was actually built in 1976."

The CEO of world’s largest cap company ($4.5 trillion) showing up multiple times a week to hype is nothing but 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

You didn't seize the means of production and establish the dictatorship of the proletariat so all your efforts are the insipid fruit of a flawed class consciousness. Shit, am I out of weed again? Maybe I can steal some of mom's.

Not only is this absurdly false (SCOTUS is vastly more powerful) but it also argues -- and the thread concurs -- that "Congress" is a unified entity in which the GOP plays no role whatsoever. Trump would love this, since it suggests an authoritarian is the obvious solution.

More people will dunk on this skeet than have subscriptions to WaPo.

The Susan Collins of Minnesota.

If I were trying to convince people we need a coordinated national response, I would not open my piece with a BS opposition between "voting rights and pro-democracy advocates" and "Pollyanna Democrats." That would be insulting if it weren't so transparently silly.

Hochul sucks but she's up by *53 points* on Delgado. Barring a miracle, she's the nominee. No way Mamdani would be stupid enough to cross the current and future governor over such an empty piece of symbolism.

So being connected to the "worlds [sic] most powerful people" gives a person "a deep understanding of the worlds [sic] realities?" Sure. Also, none of you are memes so you suck.

JFC -- Roman Polanski had noting to do with "age of consent," or of consent in any form. He drugged and raped a 13 year old girl, to a plea bargain for unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, and then fled the country! Even by McMegan's standards, this is despicable.

Agree. Also, Mike Johnson is neither shrewd nor powerful, which makes this scenario even more unlikely. I also doubt that the conservatives on SCOTUS would overturn multiple House elections. There's no upside for them and they recognize that would lead to something like civil war.

Blocked him a while ago, I think because he was peddling bullshit.

This amazed me. McCarthy scholars knew Augusta Britt was all over the novels, and they were like "uh, pass."

Did she think this would...help?

Who's pushing Newsom? I haven't see anyone. How would "they" do that? Why would "they" do that? How would anyone "forget" we have primaries in two years? This is just delusional.

Sous les pavés, la plage.

Jeff Koons had dinner with Jeffrey Epstein and Woody Allen *after* Epstein's conviction? Of course. hyperallergic.com/jeff-koons-a...

Bad Bunny, obviously, is American. Rihanna, The Weeknd, Shakira, Coldplay, The Who, The Stones, Paul McCartney, U2, and Sting-- all of whom performed previously -- are not. Wonder why that wasn't a problem.

This whole discussion is absolutely bizarre. Newsom is a terrible governor and transphobe with few supporters whose only skill is a moderate facility for shit-talking. I have no idea why so many people are convinced he's likely to be the nominee.

Should've gone old school and booked Skrewdriver.

Yes, Mr. President, please file an utterly specious lawsuit that will also highlight your years-long relationship with the worst known pedophile in US history. Discovery will be a hoot!

That's a shame. I was really looking forward to Rob Schneider and Kid Rock in "Godot." Seriously, he's furious about this. He "renames" the center and everyone bails? Absolutely furious.

This seat wasn't important legislatively, so someone probably told Donnie that a bad showing for the GOP would lead to more retirements, lower morale, etc.

On Bluesky, "radical" means "actively clueless."

Next up: Hermann Göring's favorite muesli recipe! Don't tell the Führer!

This is more like it. share.inquirer.com/r5SqTe

Who's going to tell him what truffle butter is really about?

McKay is a very good director who completely misunderstands American politics. This is just gibberish.

If WaPo magically turned overnight into the Best Paper in the World, it would be years before they returned to the numbers before the retracted endorsement of Harris. Their brand is shit and no one trusts them.

I think one of the main reasons we've had bad presidents is that Dems have had narrow margins in Congress. LBJ had 65/66 Senators and a 70+ seat majority in the House! Yeah, he was a very talented politician, but imagine what Obama or Biden could have done with that!

A permanent end to uranium enrichment in Iran is a great idea! I think that Trump should get other countries involved so that they could work on, oh, I don't know, maybe a joint comprehensive plan of action? Not sure why no one thought of that!

Talk shit and carry a teeny stick.

In all seriousness, I think one reason why Trump *could* toss Miller is his appearance. Trump is almost obsessed with appearance (Hegseth, RFK, almost every woman) and Miller looks like a cross between Gollum and Montgomery Burns’ younger brother.

Just to be clear this is not fascism. It's all sorts of different kinds of authoritarianism, and fascism sometimes morphed into this, but it's a completely inaccurate definition of fascism.

Kristi Noem is unfit to serve. But it's not just her – there's a deep rot to the core of this administration.

This is my favorite part: "As a young girl, I dreamed of being a baseball. But tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!"

My sense is that Weiss is a largely non-ideological grifter. Yeah, she's invested (pun intended) in being an Edgy Iconoclast Who Can't Be Classified, but ultimately I think she's just a troll who wants money and prestige.

A lot of people believe that if the Dems shut down the government, Republicans will inevitably cave. At best, the Dems would get some minor concessions. Sometimes it's worth fighting a battle that has no chance of success, but that's not the same as believing the Dems have magical powers.
