Raising taxes to pay for expanded and improved government services is literally the opposite of austerity politics. Anti-tax leftism has got to be strangled in the crib before it destroys what scant hope we have of ever implementing a social democratic system in America.

Can we stop taking Trumps actions and explaining them away by suggesting someone else is making him do it. Trump is an evil authoritarian all on his own.

There's something darkly amusing about how the GOP is being riven by conflict between antisemites and Likud stans.

I don't love that this unabashed antisemite is increasingly welcome in the Democratic Party! And before anyone says this is criticism of Israel, not antisemitism - Trump is not the servant of Israel. Israel and Trump are malign actors who work together. Trump as "servant of Israel" is ZOG bullshit.

There's a Detroit style place I order from that has the best spicy cupped pepperoni. Good wings too.

Senator Jon Ossoff wins the Georgia Democratic primary for US Senate.

1) the Nazis know that he's theirs, they've made it clear for years, and he's subtle enough to play the game 2) his anti-trump positioning made him the conduit for a lot of antisemitic stuff to erstwhile Democrats, I've seen many such cases here

If AIPAC lost Massie the election, good for AIPAC, finally good for something

Pretty much final results in the Pennsylvania #HD196 (Trump+33) special election: George Margetas (R)- 56.3% Ron Ruman (D)- 43.7% About a 20 point overperformance from 2024 in this solidly Republican district in York County!

Well, now Ryan Grim and his ilk are going to hate AOC even more.

Shapiro putting it out this bluntly is a good sign of where Dem messaging is heading.

I think it would be beneficial for everyone's mental health to mute Nathan Goldwag.

Kinda glad that when a Congressional candidate says “American Zionists” people recognize it’s code for Jews, almost makes up for all the people defending that Subway Takes crapfest

This is how you deal with trash

if it's any consolation, Donald Trump will almost certainly steal that money again for those in his inner circle rather than giving it to relatively unimportant people

Mamdani, who is an Arsenal fan, is elected Mayor of New York. Arsenal wins its first title in two decades. There are no coincidences.

If I were a conspiracy minded person, I would conclude she's a Shin Bet plant trying to discredit the Palestinian movement.

Tacos Gay is real, and strong, and SO gay

🚨For the first time, the Senate has voted to hold a debate on a war powers resolution to end the Iran war. 4 GOP 'Yes' votes: Cassidy LA, Collins ME, Murkowski AK, & Paul KY 1 Dem 'No' vote: Fetterman PA A defeat for Trump and GOP leaders.

I have no opinions on Carvana as a business, but if they somehow manage to destroy car dealerships, they will have done more good for this country than most institutions could ever dream of.

Praying for those murdered today in their place of worship and for San Diego’s entire Muslim community. We must all stand united to reject such violence and stand against hate in every form.

i'm a little biased but i think this is a damn good statement on the part of the san diego federation

Chocobo Joy when

A coincidence I'm sure that ppl like Jake Tapper, who called Biden being old a "bigger scandal than Watergate," became phenomenally disinterested in whether or not an elderly president was mentally/physically fit for office the second it became about Trump.

Both of them are Gundam fans

The best outcome is the Dems win the Senate without needing Maine. The second best outcome would be Platner burning himself out and retiring after one term so that a normal Dem can take his place.

YOU VOLUNTEERED THREE TIMES YOU DELIBERATELY CHOSE THIS INSTEAD OF COASTING ON YOUR TRUST FUND BECAUSE YOU WERE BORED

In case you’re wondering how it’s going over on Tankie Twitter, Hasan Piker responded to a Taiwanese trans woman who said that she doesn’t want China to invade her country by telling her to go die in Trump’s war with Iran. He is not anti-imperialist. He is merely loyal to the OTHER empire.

"I want him to know it was me"

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

One of the loadingreadyrun crew once quipped that "you know Raid: Shadow Legends sucks because there is no porn of it" and it's honestly hard to argue with that logic

YouTubers are like “and now for the part of the video where I look at the camera with the expression of an ISIS hostage and inform you with the forced cheerfulness of a battered housewife how great Raid: Shadow Legends is. This game has graphics. And presumably some form of mechanics, I guess. Idk.”

Perfect metaphor. Twitter has fully morphed into a Habermosh-pit at a neo-Nazi skinhead concert. Niche platforms like Bluesky will never match the reach of Twitter or Facebook at their peak, but that doesn't mean it can't be a pleasant place to hang out, talk about cool shit, and learn new things.

PAUL - cutest JOHN - best lyrics GEORGE - best musician RINGO - snuck handgun every day into studio and poked it into mouth of producer George Martin, the "fifth Beatle"

33 years ago today, Krusty the Clown was forced to replace Itchy & Scratchy with Worker & Parasite. “Krusty Gets Kancelled” first aired on May 13, 1993.

people jumping on Palmer about this is just... deeply upsetting to me, as a legitimately persecuted minority with OCD like, you're not doing me a favor by telling me everything my brain says is happening is happening! this is a big reason I can't socialize easily w/other trans ppl

🚨

"Guinea pig" is such a misleading name. They aren't pigs at all. We should call them by a much more sensible and accurate name: Miniature Capybara

I don't think it removes the easiest narrative - Biden was in the driver's seat when COVID kept going longer than anyone wanted it to. People were willing to give a bit of a pass for the darkest first year of the pandemic, but the dragging on of Delta and Omicron and the culture war became his fault

I have serious differences with J Street on a host of issues, but major props to them for being the rare pro-Israel group in the US to respond to the NYTimes reporting of sexual violence in Israeli detention not by getting defensive, but by demanding an investigation. act.jstreet.org/sign/2026051...

To be clear, if you genuinely believe that "the worst group in America is white liberals," you are objectively MAGA
