At some point, the world will move on from being ruled by "friends of Epstein and those in the honeypot" Let's agree to choose our next leaders more wisely. No child abusing pedos, for starters. In the meantime, stick with those you trust and cover your drinks.

I'd posit part of everything being more expensive and people's lives taking up more of their earnings has people spending less money on unnecessary events.

I'm old enough to have seen a version of this story repeat over multiple decades. It's old and tired. It's also very gendered. If you're counting Coldplay as a rock act, and not counting Olivia Rodrigo, that's a you problem.

Thanks Joe Rogan

This year has been a clinic in the reality that lots of people with good analysis don't have actual ideas about what people should do.

Donald Trump wants to sell CNN to the Saudis and rename football. He’s also made steak and hamburger unaffordable. Here’s why, as a red blooded American patriot, I support him.

I want to know more about Trump's connections to the Russian Mafia.

The same consultants hallucinating the "protect Bill Clinton at all costs" faction of the electorate are the same folks driving Dem strategy, which explains a lot.

Remarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout. Trump and Stephen Miller were testing their ability to spread lawless state terror. But the court held the line. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2043...

I've spent three days in Calais & it's horrendous. People living in disgusting conditions. Our Government is spending £476m on the militarisation of the border. We must divert that money to a humanitarian response that treats people with basic dignity. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

The best way to grasp the situation in the computer market right now is this: One incredibly rich guy keeps showing up to all the grocery stores in your area and buying all the sugar. All of it. Every variety, every type, the entire stock. Got a whole parking lot full of trucks to cart it off.

I shouldn't be surprised, but E-fucking-gad

It is bizarre to me that the same people always telling us about "thermostatic public opinion" do not take it into account when offering strategic advice! The public is, predictably, herding in a pro-immigration direction. Imagine if Dems had just *stayed there*, stalwart, ready to meet them.

Got my vote

I dumped Facebook back in 2015. It was discovered that "META" provided Russia election rich data via Cambridge Analytics. Russians used that data to target voters and get Trump elected. Fancy Bear a Russian hacker group hacked the DNC emails in 2015. FCK FACEBOOK www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Poor Chamber. All those years carrying climate-denial water for the fossil fuel industry, and now they get turned on as “woke.”

Putting this guy in charge of any medical decisions is akin to putting a Nazi in charge of immigration. So...just a catastrophic thing we can expect the GOP to do when they get any lever of power.

The US voted with Russia, China and N. Korea against most of the civilized world. This is where we are at.

I blame Joe Rogan

We're completely screwed if our response to measles is going to be asking antivaxxers - the most selfish and stupid people in our society - to voluntarily self-report and quarantine for 21 days each every time they get exposed

Conservatives are making their mob tactics fairly obvious. It would be nice if Dems would call them out on it directly while expressing how they're the alternative to such nonsense and laying out how they plan to hold these criminals accountable.

Remember when Senator Ted Cruz said we should come together and “stop attacking pedophiles” and he never followed up to clarify or say it was a gaffe? That shit was crazy.

This is, unfortunately, how the media has decided to play the game. When monied interests decide to shape reality, they act as stenographers instead of fact checkers, wag their fingers at anyone demanding anyone remain tethered to reality, and then cash fat checks for a good day's work.

Giving the game away. he has more “scholarly ammunition” than he did in January because a bunch of professional bootlicks and liars who have never had real jobs started lying about birthright citizenship in January.

This is necessary

Criminalizing bot networks would help heal the world of so many of it's woes.

Thousands of inauthentic accounts were found to be spreading lies online about Taylor Swift and Blake Lively.

Ramirez to Noem: "You lied on the record and you lied to members of this committee. You violated court orders by not turning around deportation flights bound for El Salvador where we know that hundreds of people under your leadership reported they were raped, beaten, and nearly died."

Republicans gave $132 billion in tax breaks to the top 1% in 2027. With that money, we could have extended ACA tax credits for over 20 million people next year and still have $100 billion left over.

I dunno, man. If I have to keep calling my representative and screaming at them to not vote for stuff like the Nailing Babies to Wolverines Act, and if I don't they'll vote to nail babies to wolverines, then it seems to me that person shouldn't be my representative.

Just so we're all on the same page, Superman would be considered Antifa. Our heroes on the beach during D-Day were Antifa. Someone please ask these GOP reps why they're on the side of obvious fascism

Cosmopolitan, egalitarian values are better than authoritarian values and it would be cool if one of our two political parties argued as much instead of spending decades trying to avoid cultural arguments by clinging to "it's the economy stupid" or "kitchen table issues" or "affordability."

Eight months ago vs today. 🤡 @atrupar.com @cnbc.com @cbsnews.com

Warren: "The president says here's what he thinks should happen to CNN. If that doesn't make your hair stand up, I don't know what does. That's him saying, 'You've got to make a deal w/me. That might involve a $1m a dinner & buying crypto & getting rid of a pesky news outfit I don't like'"

Seems bad (Basically, this means if you criticize Nazis, you may have your Visa revoked)

The Big Tent is filled with people who refuse to unite or give grace to one another. For more on that, see this thread (cards on the table, @sarahkendzior.bsky.social is great and everyone needs to get on her level)

Dear the media, When the US president claims he brokered a peace deal in a place with active combat—eg Rwanda and Congo—the story is (1) fighting rages on, and (2) US president lies. The story is not “president touts historic peace deal.” A peace deal involves peace. Sincerely, Factual reality

Important to note Time was purchased by billionaire Trump supporter Marc Benioff and, like the Washington Post, it’s now just billionaires using the dead masthead to write mash notes to each other about how smart & handsome they all are

Over the past decade, being tethered to reality in MAGA-land is just slowly watching bigots and most uncurious luddites in your life become more confident in their stupidity while facts, data, science, and decency lose relevance. It feels hard to repair the rift when reality itself is their enemy.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara to US citizen detained by ICE: "I apologize that this happened to you in my city with people wearing vests that say 'police.' That's embarrassing."

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

I was called unhinged a couple years ago when I predicted that young slenderman will be the Republican cult leader after his dad passes but he's certainly building the rape-friendly resume that conservatives like in leaders.

Great new video from @darkmatter2525.bsky.social covering how MAGA, Christian Nationalism, and GOP governance equates to Islamic extremism @mehdirhasan.bsky.social @somemorenews.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=suwZ...

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

It's important to zoom out and look at everything as a whole. Great work, @somemorenews.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvYA...

He's going to steal as much money as possible
