Jamie Raskin endorsed Mamdani while others in Democratic leadership did not, and also its incredibly obvious from the context he's telling a joke. People need to fucking look things up

What this statement is really doing is showing that you're consuming mostly people complaining about Democrats instead of what is actually happening, and that should make you concerned about who you're listening to.

I've seen multiple people QT this with "The party that couldn't endorse Zohran is endorsing MTG" and you guys gotta pay attention to what the party is actually doing before you get mad. Most Democrats have been enthusiastic about Zohran.

It's unsurprising but nonetheless disturbing and disgusting to see how many "Christian" men are out here doing their damnedest to justify the rape and abuse of teenage girls.

Admittedly, it is *very* easy to make the sort of people Trump was trying to appeal to believe Harris was all about culture wars.

This guy is still teaching undergraduates.

relatedly, ralph nader deserves to be remembered for the rest of time as someone who voluntarily assisted in a critical attack on american democracy, the importance of which far outweighs any of his consumer advocacy

The undergrads at the Crimson has consistently done a better job at investigating stories--big and small--than some of the legacy papers. Go college journalism.

Two months before his death, Epstein on his seventh consecutive month of getting detailed updates from Larry Summers about his apparently-fruitless pursuit of some econ student - frankly, this would drive any man to suicide

One thing I miss about Joe Biden is he would also make little digs and insults at the reporters asking him questions but he'd do it in an actually funny and subtle way, not just blunt and dumb like this bozo

If you need to know a major reason why the "elites" turned hard against the Democrats in the 2020s you need look no further than this. Successful men have always viewed their gatekeeping role to advancement as a legitimate way to force women to have sex with them. Quid. Pro. Quo.

I really underestimated the depravity of the American junkers

BESSENT: “THE $2,000 DIVIDEND COULD COME IN LOTS OF FORMS… IT COULD BE JUST THE TAX DECREASES. IT COULD BE NO TAX ON TIPS.”

Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

this is true for basically all tradeswork, employers aren’t willing to pay enough for the training to make it worth it

These people are so hard to get rid of and I dont know why.

same goes for stuff like "respect" or "admiration" you can't buy it but if you spend enough money you can punish everybody who doesn't like you and pay people to shut them up

The structural problem of money in politics is not *Oh no, rich people can give so much money!* The problem is that we've created a structural political environment where there is a financial barrier-to-entry for political engagement.

really does just come down to the fact that there's a few things that money can't directly buy and they get really mad about it can't buy sex from whoever you want but you can try to buy your way out of consequences

The lack of accountability for the torture lawyers helped bring us to this moment.

This take suffers from the same thing as all discourse about Trump voters: an inability to distinguish swing voters from Trump’s base. You should welcome the swing voters, people who were worried about inflation or whatever, but the chuds? The best you can do is bullying them into staying home.

One thing future historians are going to notice very well is that both times the US came to the brink of destruction in the two and a half centuries after its founding, it was at the hands of men who wanted an unlimited license to rape and get away with it, not only legally but socially.

They were helped by a hugely favorable media environment where many, many people were eager to muddy the waters.

I can understand the motivation behind it but man, it seems suuuuch a weird loophole when the admin is the one doing the investigation while being investigated…

They should give me cheap goods produced on questionable economics tbh

If the Pope embraces this with Soccer he might single-handey revive Catholicism in Europe.

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"

Hall of fame tweet honestly. This is the precise attitude that put a hard cap on Bernie’s ambitions.

lolol these fucks. you're catholic! the pope is infallible! you don't like that, go be an evangelical, which is what you really want to be.

It's been a political masterclass from Pope Leo, frankly. I think he was tired of Trump and MAGA co-opting Christianity and said let's get in there and make it an us vs them situation. Make the administration be versus the church. It's smart.

People want to believe that the GOP’s electoral success in red states is the result of dirty tricks and gerrymandering instead of the sincerely held beliefs of a majority of the population because a mechanical issue is easier to fix than wrestling with how to make people not believe what they do.

This is an important new line being crossed. Trump isn't just pardoning the act of attempting to overthrow the government on January 6: he's pardoning *those people* for committing crimes generally. He may be creating a group of (federally) legally untouchable people.

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

Your regular reminder that if Southern whites voted like Northern whites, the deep South would be the bluest region in the country

I truly hope that at least Summers is ruined by this round

Tibetans living independently from the Song dynasty in the 1100s

"Tibet is a part of China and has been for thousands of years" Tibet has only been part of China since 1951. Before that it was part of the Manchu Qing state, then the Dzungar Khanate, then the Khoshut Khanate, then Tsangpa, then the Phagmodrupa kingdom, then the Mongol Yuan state,

The political commentary industrial complex has never been particularly good at describing the world as it is, instead usually preferring to describe the world as they imagine their friends would like to hear it described. But it's rarely felt as detached from actual circumstances as at the present

Who in the world believes that online instantaneous sports gambling from your phone advertised on every sporting event at all times is a good idea, aside from the corporations making money from it and the politicians they spread it around to?

Do I think Epstein discourse is probably over represented amongst the chattering heads, and not *as* relevant to median voters? Yes. But we just saw how important elite solidarity is as well, and Epstein is a direct shot at GOP elite solidarity. And that is absolutely important!!!

Quick response after the tunnel fracas between an officer and South Carolina players

Candace Owens suggested in 2018 that the problem with Hitler was his military expansionism, not his repressive domestic policies. The blowback was bad enough that she had to resign from TPUSA. You do not, in fact, have to listen to her about anything.

I will forever be mystified by the fact that on this site in particular (but by no means limited to it), a prevailing attitude among a significant amount of the user base is that the way to get what you want out of it runs thru treating the ppl that run it like the biggest pieces of shit on earth.

www.cnbc.com/2025/11/14/n... Looool stupid blowhards. Too cowardly to follow through. I wish Zohran taxes them all to hell and back then to hell again.

Devastating piece on the human toll of Kavanaugh Stops. Especially infuriating to know that rich white guys like Brett K can simply close their eyes to the human suffering their racist jurisprudence has unleashed.
