The US now borrowing strategy from one battle after another

It’s a feel good space for a man who is too mentally and emotionally fragile to deal with the world outside his hermetically sealed alternate reality

We’re going to need the equivalent of german de-nazification after WWII once this admin is gone

Really gotta question the entire White House's grasp on reality if they think a war with Venezuela will do anything but cause already declining approval ratings to reach terminal velocity

Time to break out the worst person you know made a great point meme

When you hire a white man because they’re a white man that’s not identity politics. Identity politics is when you get hired and you’re not a white man. The anti wokeness hysteria was always a backlash to integration of white collar jobs bsky.app/profile/jami...

1000 class action lawyers just received their wings

"Individual liberty" is when conservatives decide everything. Their concept of liberty is just domination, not freedom to do what they want, but freedom to force everyone else to do what they want. bsky.app/profile/donm...

Justice Jackson to Solicitor General Sauer (just now, in Trump v. Slaughter arguments):

One of my most conservative-coded opinions is that one of the reasons we're in this mess is because of the profound decadence, solipsism, moral rot, and general lack of personal virtue afflicting much of the upper PMC / bourgeoisie.

Oh a letter with extreme concerns, that oughta show them

Mike Pence may beg to differ

conceding to far right ideas about the structure of society is conceding to a zero sum vision of the world, and more importantly giving voters a choice between two zero sum visions, where one is half hearted and the other is full throated. is it really a surprise then they choose the latter?

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance

getting a bit sick of always being right

Even Ezra "he did politics the right way" Klein gets FFS

America’s chickenshit elites problem continues to be the biggest obstacle to fighting Trump www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Lucy promised me in no uncertain terms that she would not move the football this time

Sure the Dems caved, but at least they got nothing to show for it

How can you lead the democratic caucus when you refuse to vote for a democrat in your home state

Hakeem jefferies has the strangest hand movements

A mamdani victory is a serious political problem for those in the party who don't want to deal with voters actually expecting things from us

My main takeaway on the “moderation” debate is that Democrats would be better served by other debates besides left-right positioning, like how to develop new valence issues (corruption!) as wedge issues, and how to get attention for their policy proposals in the first place

I also like to negotiate by threatening to shoot my own foot off

i don’t think you can maximin vote share with polls and spreadsheets, and i think it is a problem that the most prominent and influential political commentators right now are more devotees of data than experts in narrative

Centrists like to yell at me when I say that Dems let Republicans define them, but then the same centrists turn around and state against evidence that the problem is that candidates are talking too much about, say, climate and trans issues when every single campaign is talking about the economy.

"If something evil is popular, is it still evil?" is basically the defining social question of our time.

does it have something to do with the literal richest men in the history of the world waging a longterm propaganda campaign on behalf of the Republican Party in exchange for wealth and power beyond human comprehension

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

How many times u gotta say this Un-American till it maybe starts to kinda be American...

As a side note — if they do nuke it, Dems should, without reservation, fire every single Trump appointee

Trump: Jimmy Fallon is next Jimmy Fallon:

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

And this, kids, is why it's not safe to experiment with capitalism

This would be a nice day for ABC and Disney to get fucked ...Guess I'm cancelling my Disney+

Something something free speech

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

At a certain point it isn’t schumer’s fault but the entire caucus for being too afraid to remove him from leadership

Quite literally gaslighting on a national scale

My kingdom for a democrat who isnt a skin sack of terrified goo

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Executive and Judiciary in a race to see who can destroy the country faster
