I never thought I’d see the day

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today and he was just tired out after a long squawk.

You guys, this is going to sound crazy, but I’m beginning to wonder… what if he doesn’t actually care that much about “election security”?

Horrendous misconduct. Every merger above a certain threshold during this presidential term should be rolled back the minute there's a changeover in power. www.ms.now/news/trump-a...

premeditated.

Juan Proaño on the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo: The family is demanding the release of Lorenzo’s body. It has been complicated because they removed all of his personal identifying information before they put him in the ambulance. That required the hospital to admit him as a John Doe.

Trump kills things when he feels cornered.

Expand and reform the Supreme Court.

The primary lesson I take from Planter is that populism is itself a massive danger, if it is right, left or center the idea that some 'common man' without experience can come into government and fix everything because of their connection with common people alone is risky

BREAKING: Former Justice Department pardon attorney discloses damning personal experience with Todd Blanche, urging opposition to his confirmation.

See Thomas's hypocrisy for yourself. Image 1: Thomas's dissent in Trump v. Barbara. Image 2: Thomas's concurrence in SFFA v. Harvard.

Bravo to these judges, who are traveling around the country to educate the public about the importance of the rule of law!

I argued for this in 2015 and got dogpiled by "But THE PEOPLE" arguments from fellow conservatives.

ICE murdered another person.

President Trump: What do you think about President Joe Biden referring to President Zelenskyy as President Putin and Iran as the Peoples Republic of Japan? With tears in my eyes Jake Tapper CNN

He's feeding the cats; he's feeding the dogs of the people who live there. #Mandami

Must Be the Season of the Mitch Senator McConnell was the GOP’s universal soldier, but he doesn’t seem like a sunshine Superman these days. Is he as dead as Atlantis or just a lot more mellow yellow than he used to be? by Maureen Dowd

OK i would actually watch this. Clowns scare me.

To my surprise, Kathy Hochul has sort of done this with Mamdani. All the other NY pols reacted in horror, but she actually realized playing ball with him would benefit them both. And it did!

*Suspending campaign operations is not the same as withdrawing from the race, which is required by Monday under Maine law for the party to name a replacement.

Given the red flag parade I think we have to at least consider Platner was full of shit about his governing priorities too.

When someone tells you who they are: Graham Platner thinking he can force Maine Democrats to let him control who his replacement will be after being forced out of the race.

The CEO of Exelon, the largest utility in the US, says Americans could face major nationwide blackouts next year due to an energy supply shortfall and rise in data centers which are putting a strain on the energy grid. This is what happens when you give fascists full power.

I'm so old I remember when the American media made fun of Russia for pretending obviously dying politicians were fine and dandy and just taking a spa break

But the day after it happened Egypt claims a fix and its credible

I’m glad the United States lost to Belgium. If they’d won, the world would have seen it as the result of cheating. It’s also another public humiliation for Trump. All good.

Trump must have called them

Disney is not going to back down from this

For the first time on record, the #ArcticCircle crossed a temperature that once felt almost impossible for such a frozen region: above 38°C. A place many imagine as endless ice, snow, and cold winds suddenly touched a number usually associated with scorching deserts #ClimateEmergency #oilandgas

Meta Glasses are like, a Cybertruck for your face.

I hope he goes to the final because he will hear boos like he’s never ever heard before

She will go back to her original game plan: You've known me for years, and I am the chair of appropriations, and will bring zillions of dollars home It's possible that another candidate will give her more of a run for her money. I hope so! I just don't think Dems are disciplined enough to do it.

“No one could have seen this coming from a scummy Queens real estate grifter and game show host. That is why I supported him for President twice, helped him gain establishment support, and helped him prepare for debates,” he added.

This is true for members of congress too And what’s worse is that increasingly only the wealthy can afford to serve in the office

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

This is insane. There’s a reason they blur faces of real children on TV. Even some friends of mine, not famous, cover their kids’ faces in photos.

Before the whitewash comes in, a reminder that because of Mitch Mconnell American women are dying and bleeding out because they were denied abortion care. Because of McConnell the Russians were free to interfere in our elections. Because of Mitch billionaires are coddled while kids get screwed over.

Ellman: You want to fire people over DEI? You know that disabled combat veterans are DEI hires? Did you know there are people I worked with who couldn’t work other jobs because they had tbi, or were missing limbs, or had chronic health issues caused by their service to this country?

I like how every far right party has realizes all they need to do is weaponize the mid life crisis bsky.app/profile/core...

That the U.S. appears to have completely visibly given up after a catastrophic own goal fuck up is a little on the nose.

People are right to be mad about the predictable Platner fiasco, but it's worth remembering that last year a ton of establishment Democrats supported disgraced sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo against clean-as-a-whistle Zohran. Tolerating problem men is an issue across the ideological spectrum.

This is the other danger of accepting what Trump did because it helps your team, you are normalizing his unwillingness to lose, and trying to stack the deck in his favor. He is comparing this to his election denial. He is trying to normalize election interference.

I’m sure that it was very productive.

Man if the us team got together and said “we do not want to win like this” and they all agreed that he would not play, the entire world would root for them. And the tweeting from the White House would be delicious

Jen is absolutely right. Step up folks. It was an error of judgment. We should have higher standards. Own it. Move on. Find a better candidate.

Being not-technically dead and his staff not bothering to prove he's alive is the most Mitch McConnell way of dying ever.
