studies have shown that bodycams have zero impact on police brutality complaints but do lead to higher conviction rates for ‘assaults against officers’ in case youre wondering why they seem to be the one thing politicians push in times like these

Opening fraudulent investigations into Governor Walz & Mayor Frey is a textbook example of prosecutorial misconduct. Judges must start imposing sanctions and holding lawyers accountable. To every federal official participating in these shams: one day you will be held accountable.

Todd Blanche is helping cover up a murder. Our federal government is run by monsters.

Also, let's be clear. Mark Zuckerberg's net worth was $85 billion in 2020. Today it's $212 billion. These losses don't affect him at all... as far as he's concerned, everything's going great. Those thousands of people who lost their jobs? Don't matter to Zuck at all.

It was always going to go down this way for Bill Cassidy and he could have gone down with principle instead of subjecting us to the horrors of RFK jr

Judge Kacsmaryk not beating the claims he has no business being on the bench.

sorry, got to channel my inner headline writer: BO NIX'S BONE NIXED; BRONCOS BUSTED

Cassidy sentenced countless children to death, knowingly, by confirming RFK and Trump stabs him in the back anyway I hope it eats at him every miserable day of the rest of his life

I am going to be honest that if you aren’t sure whether or not it would be good if the fascists kill a prominent anti-fascist activist with whom you have developed an inscrutable parasocial antagonism, I really doubt the sincerity of your commitment to leftism or anti-fascism

Beyond the fact that it’s illegal to make an arrest based solely on “reasonable suspicion,” drawing up retrospective arrest warrants after the fact also seems illegal?

This is actually the really simple story of the collapse of American democracy. You can explain America’s constitutional collapse in a single coherent sentence:

indicates a problem with the metaphor of “political capital” as some limited quantity thing you can only spend down. in fact like actual capital if you invest it smart and fast the returns can compound

Gavin Newsom is absolutely gonna bomb out of the D primary and then run as a spoiler independent.

Sorry. Has someone said this? 1) Trump can’t impose tariff unilaterally 2) Trump has no $$ to buy Greenland 3) Trump has no authority to leave NATO

The State Dep't Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs today posted that detaining people "for 'liking' posts online shows how paranoid [an] illegitimate" regime is, referring to "political prisoners." On Friday, a fed'l judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit over State taking similar actions in the U.S.

70% of all Harris voters in 2024 and 65% of all self identified Democrats believe Israel has committed genocide 60% of Democrats believe Israel kills children intentionally and whopping 77% overall have a negative view of Israel.

once again the real divide in the Dem party is fight/don’t fight and it is extremely encouraging to see one of the more centrist standard bearers firmly on Team Fight

one thing i think is interesting: according to the Constitution, donald trump is not the president of the united states

surprising how ineffective the unhinged drunk fox law lady has been

Christ, this (from Lizza's latest) is pretty fucking damning of...literally the entire media(?) What the fuck?

The fact that Vanity Fair hired Nuzzi after she *admitted in her book* to helping RFK get a role in the Trump administration is one of the most damning indictments of elite media I've ever seen. Not only is VF sweeping it under the rug but no one else in elite media seems perturbed by it either!

Lizza sucks but for reasons entirely unrelated to the Nuzzi saga. In this story he is straightforwardly the only credible actor and the victim of an evidence-free smear campaign.

the other day my 8yo said Spanish was his third language. then he counted "uno, dos, tres..." all the way up to "nueve" and then said "uh, i forget." i said "diez?" and this kid straight up replied "diez nuts"

Incredible moment here of Chuck Schumer refusing to do politics. Notable that this sort of pointed questioning comes from a student journalist rather than one of the networks.

i think gavin newsom fucking sucks and if you ever try to guilt me into voting for him i’ll scream

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

Working in the industry long enough, on enough projects, will show you that even the worst video game you've ever played could probably have a video essay made about the artistry and intention these developers brought to the table.

Mischief Toys is a plaintiff in the lawsuit against the Trump administration seeking to hold his tariffs unconstitutional 🤔🤔🤔

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.

A Christmas Story

Best part is that no one is sure this is even THE rock, it’s just *a* rock they put a little pen around.

“Reform and retrain” ICE is some seriously weak shit. Call it laboratory liberalism. The data clearly justifies a more aggressive approach. “Reduce ICE funds and restore ACA spending” probably the most popular message rn. What voter is moved to vote D by “retraining” ICE? Come on

if you vote for another cent for this you are a collaborator. this is a litmus test for every politician for the rest of my life

Same with DOGE — it’s so weird when people are Iike “gosh it failed to meet its goal of government efficiency” rather than “looks like its real goal was to steal data while breaking federal agencies and ending support for black and brown people abroad”

Secretary Noem says ICE is adequately trained to do its job. I believe her. Speaker Johnson says ICE is doing what ICE is intended to do. I believe him. ICE is doing exactly what its masters want and it's doing it with about the level of competence that they desire.

My democratic rep told me ICE keeps hurting his constituents so I asked how many constituents he has and he said he just goes to actblue and asks for more donations to do nothing so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding his constituents to murderers and then my phone lit up asking for a donation

America has a housing shortage. Every single housing proposal you see that is not "build more housing" will have the primary effect of pushing up the prices of existing housing, and is therefore, in reality, a plan to enrich current homeowners. In conclusion, build more housing.

If there's any middle step that Senate Ds could ethically vote for under an R-controlled Senate along the way to defunding & abolishing ICE completely, it should include as a bare minimum: No new funding for ICE. ICE immediately OUT OF OUR CITIES. "Training" and "body cams" are worse than nothing.

A much better plan is AOC's call to claw back ICE funding and devote it to affordable housing. Cortez-Masto clownishly wants to give ICE funding to local cops. No, never. Local cops are helping ICE right now. They'd just continue to do so. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

We have video We have video and he still shot a woman in the face HE WAS FILMING AS HE SHOT HER IN THE FACE

Appeals to the constitution become less effective every single day that people look at the way the government is functioning - not in theory, but in real life - and see that it’s apparently no longer relevant.

Proof, as if you needed it, that under Bari Weiss CBS has become a pure propaganda outlet for the authoritarian state.

"internal bleeding"

Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Even when they don't, both parties pump out constant rhetoric about "real Americans" living in rural areas. The entire premise of this article is a conservative-fluffing myth. Cities have more political power because that's where most people live!

this is why I still think Newsom will faceplant in the primary right now he is the governor of the biggest blue state in the country and actually did a concrete thing to oppose Trump (the redistricting) starting next year, he’s out of office, and all people will see is his awful podcast

There isn’t a single 🇺🇸 institution that represents urban residents & cities proportionally in America. Not one. The idea that rural areas & voters are being ignored is farcical.

we shouldn't annex Greenland and we should give voting congressional representation (easiest way is statehood, still) to the residents of the US's five colonies and one district without it. (American Samoans should be granted full citizenship, not just nonvoting nationals, imo). Reject insular cases
