Trump has gotten huge numbers of infrequent voters to the polls, twice. He's deeply unpopular but has mobilized a large, unprecedented coalition of Americans motivated by some combination of ignorance, avarice, and cruelty. It is hard to describe what he has as something other than charisma

There are no words for how evil this is

Nick Fuentes says people better be careful about calling him a Nazi "because if I'm a Nazi, then there's millions of young people that are following a fucking Nazi." Um, yeah, that's exactly what we've been warning about!

"Under the deal, large cargo ships would have paid a fee if their CO₂ emissions exceeded a certain level. The standard would get stricter over time, encouraging the industry to move away from oil-based shipping fuel to cleaner options." THE LEADING SHIPPING LOBBY SUPPORTED IT

This is the core product of the same company that wants taxpayer money to guarantee its loans. No thanks!

This goes so far beyond creepy. “‘Rest easy, king,’ read the final message sent to his phone. ‘You did good.’”

Feels like the Democrats should maybe put up a website showing all of the Trump Flight Cancellations?

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

Dear headline writers: why do you hate reporters and columnists so much? Are you jealous of their ability to write complete sentences? Is that why you anonymously twist their words into ragebait and direct all that online anger at the person in the byline?

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

relatedly, i know lib/left types sneer at free marketeers but a lot of them do genuinely believe what they're saying which is why places like Cato are holding the line on tariffs/etc. some others are too (jessica riedl is basically fighting alone at manhattan institute, aei notably slipping a bit)

The more democratic elements of the American constitutional and economic order are actually throwing up road blocks to Trumpism. Protests and boycotts and low level courts and juries and cetera. Elite actors on the other hand are all too frequently caving. Fascinating study in who actually cares!

this has been one of my central arguments the past ten years. the theory underpinning the anti-democratic elements of the american constitutional order is wrong!

Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

ICE-loving sheriff loses his election in Bucks County, PA, to a young progressive candidate. Apparently, people really don't like it when their neighbors get kidnapped and disappear. buckscountybeacon.com/2025/11/buck...

The Problem Solvers Caucus out here trying to create even worse problems

So Dems won all the Strong Dem (39), Leans Dem (9) and Competitive (10) VA House of Delegates seats; also 6 of the 14 seats that Lean Republican. Amazing. bluevirginia.us/2025/11/poli... h/t @vpapupdates

Oh, yeah, RCP's been trash for a long time. Get em outta here

I think he owes us a speech full of sandwich puns

I hope he vows to strike again www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

we needed a hero

Remember, Trump thinks it's more important that Elon Musk is able to fly than that you can visit your family for Thanksgiving.

I gotta say, I’m seeing the most Live Laugh Love women I went to all girls high school with in Ohio posting anti-ICE Instagram reels and demanding people pay attention to the threat of fascism

Trump's tariffs are probably cooked, but the conservative justices are going to be very careful to preserve what matters most: their power to invent sharp limits on executive power next time a Democrat is in the White House

It doesn’t matter how much we all despise him; he needs to be studied. There has never been a human being like this. And God willing there never will be again.

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights. And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports. People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

I have to imagine far-right Catholics are really struggling with the fact that they can now hear this stuff in English directly from the pope.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

If Meta knows it has fraud scams on its platform, it is even part of its business model, wouldn’t that be grounds for a class action lawsuit by victims?

this is what the Republicans stole from us

The Trump regime is East Winging the Goddard Space Flight Center, home to the 10,000 scientists and engineers in NASA science and engineering directorates.

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

Cumberland County, PA has been a Republican stronghold for decades. It's been trending to the left recently, but still backed Trump by 9 in 2024. But the Democrats still flipped two county offices last night! Suburban/Exurban Harrisburg continues its leftward march.

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

"All hot dog stands will be replaced with goat meat stands." hold up. tell me more about that

When we were on Twitter the line was “Twitter isn’t real life” and now that Twitter is deliberately stirring up bigotry it’s “Bluesky is a bubble you have to be on Twitter” and I think that is a pretty clear statement of value.

Not sure what aspect of Pat Dugan's loss to Larry Krasner is most impressive: that he did worse than the guy 4 yrs ago who had to explain the dead woman in his bathtub; that he did worse than he did against Krasner in the closed Dem primary; or that his Forward Party endorsement wasn't decisive.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Generally the revealed preference of the Trump admin has been that the US should be a petro state with a software sector and maybe some low value added manufacturing somewhere.

Abundance types get very worked up about left Nimbys, anti-gentrification activists, etc. But this is deeply misleading when it comes to the actual politics of housing, at least in New York. Opposition to new housing comes overwhelmingly from the Right.

got pretty emotional watching this beautiful family bask in victory (to our music, no less)
