A convicted felon who had also been found liable for sexual assault and committed additional crimes in plain sight was close with a notorious child sex trafficker and likely participated in some of those crimes too got elected with much of that known and spent his presidency railing against “crime.”

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Just incredible stuff from a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz.

Dems are like well we may have lost the battle but at least we lost the war

i feel like the woke borg show actually kind of fucking sucks

It's official - 8 D AYEs Durbin Hassan King Cortez Masto Kaine Shaheen Rosen Fetterman

Thanos couldn’t snap me up fast enough if she said this about me

pluribus: what if woke mind virus rna communism

the angry base has been right and the savvy "calm down" caucus has been wrong every step of the way for the last 10 years

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

SHAME.

so currently defectors are: Kaine (2030) Shaheen (Retiring) Hasan (2028) Fetterman (2028) Durbin (Retiring) CCM (2028) Rosen (2030) King (2030)

One thing that strikes me is just how fake all of our problems related to government are The filibuster isn't in the Constitution, and every single Framer would be apoplectic that it exists. The government shutdown was invented in 1980 The 9-justices limit was invented to stop the New Deal

People are supposed to get hurt when they misallocate capital, the one exception is depository institutions because they have demand deposits in them.

oh schumer is caving, anything to save the precious filibuster

in the absence of the things the ai people used to say we needed, like strong regulation and robust social safety nets, the product they promise to enterprises is permanent economic dislocation and anxiety

my hot take is that people in rural areas and red states actually need and deserve dramatic amounts of intervention and investment just as much as big metros do. A robust public rail network throughout the country would be an excellent place to start for both

if you are the public defense investigator who just subpoenaed Sam Altman on stage know that i love you and think you are a wonder upon this earth.

propping up unprofitable AI companies so that they can keep trying to sell structural unemployment is the obvious roadmap after the response to 2008. this seems like a moment for UBI, strict regulation, and putting the flagrant mismanagers in prison, but alas

It's important to see both sides. Yes, I get that most of you support right to repair laws. But corporations also have a right to make life objectively worse.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

new policy idea, a single layoff costs $1 million or n*their top pay package (whichever is larger, n >= 1) in penalty tax to fund social insurance, and generally offset externalities. the penalty should be paid directly by leadership, to protect the business ofc

mamdani only won because he was up against a worse candidate, unlike most candidates, who are uh better (???) nah how about it doesn't even matter because If he really wanted to make an impact he would've lost? Uh a majority does not a mandate make? sigh he wants transgender 911 for everybody

slow horses started off fairly amusing and mid and has ended up being typical british right wing horseshit

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

The entire pundit class has convinced people for so long that their “analysis” was somehow necessary and valuable when in reality it was just a con game to manufacture consent for bias-confirming “strategies” that only benefited the capitalist class and guaranteed pundits career security.

Three facts: 1. Early voting in NYC 2025 is 5X what it was in 2021 2. Polymarket has Mamdani with a 96% chance of winning 3. Former NYC Mayor DeBlasio with an epic W T-shirt and vote

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

Richard Cheney died today

I genuinely could not care less about what people buy with food stamps. I wouldn't even give a shit if they used them to buy cigarettes and vodka

now why would i accomplish a four minute task now when i can agonize over it for the next six months

sorry usha, JD kirk has a new life to lead

god give it a rest about platner, its disappointing that the guy with the better platform turned out to have a long term and continuing track record of terrible judgement, he shouldn't become one of the most high profile representatives of the left he's fucking bad at this

Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality. Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.
