I've seen enough: James Talarico (D) wins the #TXSEN Dem primary.

Well, this is a ginormous mess.

If Polis pardons her, CO Dems should put forward articles of impeachment.

How I arrived on Bluesky

this is what awaits us if we fail to crush Platner in the primary, "oh the party of Nazi Tattoos has something to say?" every time forever

Abolishing ICE is now officially the moderate position.

Bay of Pigs take two.

I deeply appreciate the Republican public servants who, in this time of crisis, are standing up to exert Congress's constitutional power as a check+balance on the executive.

I was going to say Tillis’ criticism is thin gruel after confirming Noem in the first place, but he’s following up with real action here, so I’ll give him credit instead. Yeah, he needed to retire before he found his spine, but at least he found it rather than holding out for the K-street payday.

Okay this may be the funniest effort yet *TRUMP: I THINK IRAN MAY HAVE ATTACKED FIRST

Not only that but wasn’t there reporting that this is exactly what Biden did at some point? Or am I misremembering?

If you believe the U.S. has the influence and leverage to block Israel from going to war with Iran, which it does, then it’s much harder to then argue the U.S. has been dragged into war by Israel. Trump wanted this war.

Last I checked, Spain is in the EU so this would uh…. cut off all trade with the EU.

I don't think this is the headline Trump expected to see today.

The “people” here include *checks video from a couple hours ago* the US Secretary of State.

Big if true.

Israel simply does not have the power to force the US government to do something it does not want to do. What Rubio is doing here, by claiming Israel forced the US hand, is making Israel the scapegoat for a US policy he knows is unpopular. This framing is going to be so bad for Diaspora Jews.

Hey folks. A plea for help. Have you written your member of Congress about the war in Iran? Have they responded? We want to see the letters they're sending their constituents. If you have them, send it to us on our secure tipline. Here: thebulwark.com/tips

In a functional administration, these warnings, and embassy evac plans, are put in place before you start shooting off the tomahawk missiles.

So I really don’t like this “we did it because Israel was going to attack” thing for… obvious reasons.

antisemitism among young people is: -heavily rewarded on tiktok and other youth-heavy social media -not confined to any one ideology -often directed explicitly at jewish people and jewishness, not israel

No way

A clip from the moment Hillary Clinton found out Lauren Boebert took an unauthorized photo of her deposition: 'I'm done!'

Very cool opportunity for early career researchers interested in special education research: Apply for access to at least one statewide longitudinal dataset with support from SPARC researchers to conduct a co-developed study on the special education workforce. sparccenter.org/sparc-center...

Still true and still relevant (this is a Platner post)

Casual antisemitism should not be implicitly endorsed - repeatedly - by a candidate running for the United States Senate. This is not hard.

Damn

wut

I really don't think "There are so many antisemitic podcasts out there that you just can't help but appear on them" is the defense they think it is.

Welcome to the anti-war resistance, *checks notes*,

Here's a Jan. 6 rioter posing with a press pass before Pete Hegseth's press conference, just to give you a sense of the type of "journalists" who were in the Pentagon briefing room this morning.

This is what we lose when we decimate the NSF and the NIH. For thousands of years, science progressed at a snail's pace. But in the post-WWII era scientific discovery boomed.

Graham Platner, the guy who had to cover his Nazi tattoo to save his senate campaign in Maine, went on the YouTube channel “Valhalla VFT” in January where he said he’s a “longtime fan of the show.” Check out these vile racist thumbnails from the channel & reporting on the antisemitic host.

I don’t think this helps high prices.

If Graham Platner wins in Maine, I think we have to get used to the fact that the future of US politics, in both parties, is a vague, ideologically inchoate populist anti-establishment "us vs. them" framing that easily converges on antisemitism, where the antisemitism is a feature and not a bug.

Hello, police? I’d like to report a…

When climate change increases the variance of weather patterns in addition to increasing the mean temperature, this is what you get.

Just increasingly unpleasant to be publicly Jewish on any social media really. Sucks all around.

Graham Platner is like the Forrest Gump of antisemitism.

people who continue to apologize for the guy with the Nazi tattoo continue to have to figure out new ways to contort themselves to evade the universal reality of “people show you who they are and you should believe them!”

Dems win NC, OH, IA/NB (you pick) but lose Maine and the Senate because we nominate a Nazi-footsie guy is really going to hurt if it happens.

“The Nazi tattoo guy who retweets white supremacists and goes on antisemitic podcasts and says both parties are the same will be a reliable democratic vote, don’t worry” I mean LISTEN TO YOURSELVES

Come the fuck on, people. On the plus side, we don't need to worry about the crypto-nazi in the senate, because Susan Collins is going to nuke him from orbit if he gets the nomination. On the down side, Susan Collins winning is the worst available option

The Pod Save guys just had another interview with Platner.

Ruh roh

“2 weeks.” Drink!

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
