4-8 coach in fourth season saying shit like “the real fans know we’re building something here”

As I said to a reporter last week, maybe we talk too much about Musk as the first trillionaire and not enough about him as the last one. www.theguardian.com/business/liv...

My friend, they ARE Democrats. YOUR version of Democrats are being eclipsed. The Dem socialists aren’t like MAGA or Tea Party in any set of beliefs but the idea of pushing harder away from trying to please the centrists is very compelling to people and can win elections.

What if a handful of Congressional primaries were not deciding the entire fate of a national political party? What if they were, in fact, deciding on a party's nominee for that district specifically?

You already got your renewed Camelot buddy. Most powerful Kennedy in office in many years married to a TV star and he’s busy mixing dog cum with chia seeds to “see what grows.”

there goes that DSA settler-colonialist imposing his alien rule upon NYC’s indigenous inhabitants again

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

Idiots out showing their colors this morning. It’s like a wave of mass psychosis. You folks know there’s a reality to test your bullshit against, right?

Incumbent Democrats haven't done much to stop Republicans from destroying this country, etc., and so the Democratic voters in their districts chose candidates who promised that they would, in fact, stop Republicans. That's precisely why there were primary challenges. This isn't complicated.

NPR is calling the Mamdani-backed candidates “far left” which I guess is shorthand for “would like to give healthcare to their constituents somewhat”

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Mamdani Derangement Syndrome is real, people.

as a committed centrist, it saddens me that both parties are falling captive to their extremes - the right to insurrectionist cultists who want to invade american cities, and the left to socialists who want better bus service

What’s funny is that with low early-voting turnout, local headlines were asking whether Mamdani had the juice. Turns out motivated voters count for more.

We’re too dorky to be cool, but yes, having a shitload of fun in Manhattan.

In the future we will all live in Escher houses.

seemingly underrated aspect of DSA's electoral successes against incumbent moderate and centrist democrats is simply that the latter got lazy

Oregon, it is time. You know what must be done

I'm not gonna say the Times had this story ready to go but

Whatever you do, they lie about you anyway. Anyway, the mayoral comparison you’re looking for is Fiorello La Guardia.

Guys it's not real.

Yeah his doctors think his heart's going to give out if he doesn't rapidly lose that weight. Retatrutide activates GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon all at once. Some research suggests it induces "systemic hemodynamic unloading."

AOC on the Reflecting Pool: They talked a bunch of smack. They said they had to repaint the pool, and now they’ve turned it into an actual swamp.

literally watergate

Urgent policing at the reflecting pool in DC. A tourist touched the water.

this is what is insane abt this case and these sentences. this isn't a sandwich throw. real violence happened here. a cop got shot. but by framing the protest as a conspiracy people who literally were uninvolved in the violence got de facto life sentences

ask Scotland

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

the "ronald reagan laying a wreath at the ss cemetery" of my generation

you always thought the personification of evil would be cooler & cleverer that this didn't you?

One of my "favorite" dumb Musk things is his deeply held belief that other people aren't real. One of his first moves after taking over Twitter was to try to fire "ghost employees," of which he thought they were many. He's a murderous bigot but he also thinks Fake People are robbing him blind.

Kennedy Center probably has some extra tarp.

Someone took the joke tee seriously.

Conflating AIPAC and American Jewry writ large is very much an antisemitic talking point. Very cool to see that the Anti-Defamation League is now mindlessly parroting hardcore antisemites instead of trying to undermine them.

I missed the story about how our necrotic, rapidly decomposing husk of a president rode his fucking limo into the reflecting pool so he could "inspect" it from the back seat.

the thing about greenblatt is that this is a dude who watched elon musk give a "heil hitler" and then said "looks like nothing to me." why would anyone take him seriously?

If Popehat is permanently banned because of this post, I’m genuinely concerned about the viability of this platform. Hopefully, someone like @masnick.com knows more about what’s happening and whether this is just a temporary suspension

Popehat’s gone, this is all that remains.

love to learn what rights the Guardian Council has deleted by decree this week

And now mom says ice cream isn’t dinner. What’s going on? What does this mean? Dinner is food and last time I checked, ice cream is food. So what’s this really all about? The answer is simple: power

It’s great that a bunch of braindead assholes tied everyone’s 401k and pension funds into the equivalent of a beanie baby collection

Somehow this just came to mind, from Carter era: —On flight back from int'l conference, then-SecState Cyrus Vance gave reporters "background" briefing, for attrib only to "a senior gov official." —NYT ran story next day —Alongside story was photo of Vance, w caption saying "a senior gov official"
