vance is so personally off putting that even foreign electorates want nothing to do with him

American decline is due, in large part, to the persistent efforts by rich people to ensure that their own progeny retain wealth and power no matter how stupid and lazy they are.

In honor of Vance's visit to Hungary, where he will campaign for Viktor Orban, I am reposting my article from last year. I argued that Orban's Hungary is one of the poorest countries, and certainly the most corrupt and least free country, in the entire EU. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Hey to all my Creator friends out there: Ya might want to check your Adobe subscriptions before the next billing cycle.

Dear @nytimes.com I get it. What the President of the United States says is not "fit to print." But fucking print it anyway. He's the fucking president we are fucking stuck with. So fucking tell the whole fucking truth. Stop cleaning up his act. "expletive-laden social media post" my fucking ass!

Agree 100% . (Ron Fournier longtime AP bureau chief in DC.)

there are so many things i hate about the fascist project, but administration officials making up increasingly absurd lies about the amazing mind of Donald Trump is way up there

god he is such a fucking loser

2 days apart

"It’s true that few Democratic politicians speak as bluntly about Israel as Carlson does, but it’s dangerous to suggest this somehow makes him a principled actor. His concern for Palestinians is conditional, to the extent it genuinely exists .." Perspective is everything, kids Read this:

Right, simply entertaining this challenge as if it's remotely legitimate is already discrediting. If there's a single vote to end birthright citizenship, we need to take this Supreme Court apart with sledgehammers and start over.

The same branding as BIBI uses on “Greater Israel” it is a statement of intent to invade.

Her grin knowing how this arrest looks (Published in The Atlantic today)

Mad props to both her and the photographer.

BARKLEY: “Some of the stuff that’s happening to immigrants in our country right now is really unfortunate and unfair. Immigrants built this country. We should admire them and respect them.” 🇺🇸

9 Million is 3%. We are Go.

Vital to stress that the Tea Party "movement" was a Koch brothers astroturfing campaign that was orchestrated to achieve the corporate objectives of said Koch brothers.

Elissa Slotkin: We are going to have to grapple with the unbelievable corruption that is coming out of this administration. His kids have earned $1B since he became president. A lot of my peers do whatever the president tells them to do. They've ceded power as a separate branch of government.

Let’s keep it up!

Los Angeles citizens chasing ICE thugs I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of this. People are fed up.

We just caught ICE in a bombshell lie. They do NOT have the authorization they've claimed to arrest immigrants at 26 Federal Plaza. Courthouse arrests must end now. There's never been a stronger case for why this rogue, lawless agency should be abolished.

Here @axios.com we fixed your headline - you’re welcome! 😇

A retired Major General told America that Pete Hegseth’s words are “absolutely the words of potential war criminals.” The Secretary of Defense. Of the United States.

How’s the economy? Not bad if you’re rich. What if you aren’t? The typical American can’t afford the median-priced home. A new car is out of reach for many, with the average monthly payment exceeding $700. More middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet. nbcnews.to/4rPoufr

You are laughing? The worst person in the world is failing at the job she isn’t qualified for and you are LAUGHING?

SCHIFF: I don't want to hold up the rest of what DHS does, so I've fully supported vote after vote to fund TSA KERNEN: That's a carve out. It's not a clean bill, which has been business as usual SCHIFF: Well, business as usual right now is people getting killed in the streets. So I'm not for that

remember that one time a train derailed in Ohio and literally nobody died but it was a news story for like a full week and Pete Buttigieg had to personally answer for it?

Seeing ICE detaining people at airports is so sickening and so are the details about the LGA plane crash. Just a fraction of the money they’re using to brutalize families could be spent on rehiring air traffic controllers, who they fired so they could brutalize more people

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

if ICE is actually going to be out there thugging people at airports SF conventions and stuff better start prepping the whole virtual attendance thing again because there's whole swathes of panelists who aren't going to want to do flights for a bit

Our enemies are not in Iran. They are in the Epstein files. Thought you should know.

If you spot ICE agents at an airport in the coming days, I want to hear from you. Reach me via Signal at marisakabas.04

He should legit face a capital trial for the Caribbean boat murders alone.

There’s a bajillion grassroots candidates running this year. If you’re running for Senate/House, think you have a shot, & have raised under $25k, DM me or comment & I’ll add it to a spreadsheet. If any of y’all win, we have to make sure Nico does this on live for record-keeping purposes

All it takes is possession of a videotape.

Unlike information obtained from cellphone providers, this data can be accessed without a warrant — and used to track anyone.

The next move, I hope, is @robertgarcia.bsky.social holding a press conference asking why the attorney general won't give testimony under oath about the sex trafficking ring that likely implicates the president. And then another the next day. And the next. And the next.

Hold press conferences, do these cable news hits, flood the zone with righteous anger.

Sen. Bennet ticks through the many contradictory, half-baked rationales Trump has offered for his decision to launch an unauthorized war against Iran

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Dueling with two consenting adults is still there RAND PAUL: It's been illegal for 170 years! There's no precedent for legal dueling

Reporter: “If you could say something to Trump, what would it be?” PA voter: “You're a worthless pile of shit.” Reporter: “How many times did you vote for him?” PA voter: “Three times. That was my bad. Apparently I'm an idiot.”

I don’t think people really grasp how effectively Talarico’s kind Christianity is an existential threat to Christian Nationalism.
