Feel like reducing the debt should be a winning topic for democrats, more than cutting taxes

Target is a pretend store. Whatever you’re looking for, you can find the pretend version at Target.

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

Matt Yglesias makes one single post over and over and over again. “The left doesn’t understand that it’s been proven this right wing thing is actually good”

Plouffe: - Retained his consulting clients during the campaign - Neutered Tim Walz - Made Liz Cheney Harris' primary campaign surrogate - Refused to take any responsibility, instead saying the campaign wasn't moderate enough He should never hold another job in politics for the rest of his life

I would read a content analysis of the way the Times. WAPO, CNN, Jake Tapper etc... covered Biden leaving Afghanistan compared to this absolute debacle of the War on Iran by Trump.

It’s awesome to hear Matt Christman coming along more and more with every appearance.

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26 NO - 41% YES - 38% UNSURE - 21%

This is truly remarkable

As US and Israeli bombs fell on Iran this weekend, bettors on Polymarket — where $529 million was traded on contracts tied to the timing of the strikes — were cashing in

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

im starting to think the woke mind virus wasnt actually the biggest threat to civilization

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close! New: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) says he'll skip Trump State of the Union: "This administration continues to disregard the rule of law & Constitution while failing to lower costs for American families. I have more productive ways to spend 2 hours than listening to more lies. I’ll pass.”

like so many other things in our broken society, the act of reporting has floated free of its former social functions (providing accountability, informing the market, motivating regulators) and now serves as little more than empty entertainment if there's a point anymore, it escapes me

In related news about the Washington Post and the state of journalism today, Amazon "ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion." That's in the wake of the 2025 tax bill www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

People on X will see this and say “we’re the only ones who aren’t in a bubble”

White House Aide Fired After Telling JD Vance About Super Bowl Party https://theonion.com/white-house-aide-fired-after-telling-jd-vance-about-super-bowl-party/

Typical conversation with 5 yo son: “Who’s the blue team?” “Duke” “Who’s the other team?” “Virginia Tech” “Who’s versing?” “Duke vs. Virgina Tech” “Who’s Duke?” Ad infinitum

BREAKING: US Senate has blocked spending package

Congratulations to all the bankers, hedge-fund managers, private-equity honchos, tech titans, corporate executives and op-ed writers for backing the man who will do more to undermine the system that made them insanely wealthy than any other presidential candidate in their lifetimes.

Jon Ross was stationed in El Paso, Texas from 2007 to 2015. The El Paso border patrol office was under review in 2010 to 2012 because they intentionally stood in front of vehicles to justify shooting. There were 62 accounts of border patrol officer standing in front of vehicles and shooting

JD Vance went from “I’m a never Trump guy” to “that woman deserved to be executed in cold blood”

That is a catch man

It has been an obvious, sometimes even almost stated project of Trump 2.0 to engineer a redo of the post George Floyd protests of 2020, this time with much more state violence. And now a federal agent has shot and killed a woman in a car at point blank range a mile from where Floyd was murdered.

Happy Thanksgiving. Dry brine is the way to go

I need to know how much money Chris Isaac is getting from NPR for their regular use of Wicked Games as bumper music.

Twitter has been awful for a long time but last 2-3 weeks seems like the cesspool dial has been turned way up.

Half of everyone’s work day is now just going through the login process for various websites and applications

11 years? Versant???

seems like the whole point of having a union would be to strike *in this exact situation*

Use of the word "evil" in official congressional e-newsletters, over time, by party

The median voter isn't a pureed balance of elite centrist takes, they're somebody who has a passionate opinion about vehicle registration fees but couldn't name the current vice president.

Democrats do not lose because of culture war minutiae. They lose because they offer nothing and are subservient to capital, leaving voters searching for answers. It’s obvious to everyone.

Have come across a few Alton Brown videos on Tik Tok lately and hope he’s ok. A little worried about him.

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I was honestly expecting something a little scarier

Israeli soldiers opened fire near a food distribution site in southern Gaza on Saturday, killing at least 32 people, Gazan health authorities said. The UN said this past week that more than 670 Palestinians had been killed in similar episodes near aid sites.

Tedious to point this out, but: - When a tongue-tied Biden said "President of Mexico" instead of "Prez of Egypt," it was a several day story. -Hours after Trump says whoever appointed J Powell made a big mistake (it was him), the episode appears not to merit a story on any national-media sites.

Text from wife

“In Cell 15, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia and 20 other Salvadorans were forced to kneel from approximately 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM, with guards striking anyone who fell from exhaustion. During this time, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was denied bathroom access and soiled himself…”

The world would be a lot better if people learned to understand the difference between “you can’t say this” and “I disagree with you”
