They market their cars as weapons and we allow them on the same roads as children cycling to school. And I still get weird middle-aged men in my notifications obfuscating for and defending this. This is not a serious society.

tax the rich, they will whine and bitch and moan and they will pay their damn taxes because where else are they going to go, fucking Florida? it’s not Massachusetts and it’s certainly not New York City

To whatever twisted sick freak is hoarding every not-first-edition used copy of The Power Broker in New York: I would like to buy one copy at a reasonable price please and thank you.

The lack of elite accountability is destroying the country. There will be a reckoning, and Democrats need to decide, right now, what side of it they want to be on.

Getting annoyed listening to charter school activists lie again and again that charter schools are public schools. They are not. They are publicly funded private schools that siphon money away from public schools and produce no better results.

Given what a shitshow this is, Schumer should resign as minority leader regardless of the outcome because he's clearly completely lost control of his own caucus

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

If you have a job that gives you an FSA instead of an HSA it's because they either hate you or think you're too stupid to notice the difference.

I know for a fact my Senators aren't joining the worm caucus. But they sure as hell should be outing anyone who is.

This only thing worse than a gov shutdown for 40 days is a shutdown that achieved nothing but pain and suffering for the people it was supposed to protect. I just called my senators: hold the line.

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

Anything we can actually do, we can afford.

The pain of being a historian is knowing that LBJ would have had all these losers [redacted] before they even know what hit them. Schumer's got to go.

Two things: 1. I hate that the chronology proceeds right to left. It feels un-American. 2. Is the "Presidential Walk of Fame" literally just everyone who was president? Because the right is supposed to despise Wilson despite the racism.

“Cities are good, people want to live in dense walkable neighborhoods, and urban governance should prioritize city residents’ quality of life over suburban drivers’ convenience” remains a genuinely radical political program in America.

With socialism destroyed and no pesky regulations in the way, market forces will be free to organically generate the perfect governing system.

I maintain that a 7-13 years dead FDR still would have outperformed the technically alive Adlai Stevenson.

Here's hoping a bunch of other people get the hint.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but wasn't Youngkin's campaign strategy essentially just pretending to be a sort-of moderate (lying) and then going mask-off on day one?

Confirmed waiters at the Table of Success.

The past holds useful information for the present, and for thinking about the future. Before January, Mamdani needs to figure out who his Lucky Luciano is and destroy him.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Putting his head on Gargarin's body is so fucking funny. Hundreds of millions of Soviets to choose from and they pick the one that was beloved by basically everyone on Earth.

What a time to be going to New York next week.

Maybe pundits should spend more time in densely packed, left leaning urban areas where the "real Americans" live

Eventually Murphy will find the bigger paycheck she's been after this whole time and we'll be rid of her, too.

BREAKING: every Republican has died

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

virginia democrats are desperate for a politician to [insert of joe pesci in goodfellas aiming a gun directly at the screen]

You can win elections as a Dem on a platform of killing Republicans, and on a platform of being normal: We're a diverse party with room for a lot of different voices

There are two types of Americans: people who live here, and people who haven’t gotten here yet

imo the correct dem immigration position is engraved in stone on ellis island

The scramble to fill her seat would be insane, though.

It's important to remember that when it comes to gauging how informed voters are, the wrong answers and "don't know" are both serious problems.

"I could smell the onions and mustard"

every single conservative commentator complaining about the rise of nick fuentes is responsible for the rise of nick fuentes

Boston: you have one mission today. Do not let Frank Baker back on to the city council. I don't care what other freaky nonsense you get up to with your ballot. Do not pick Baker.

Many people are saying this...

Ha! See? This guy fuckin' sucks even when it sounds like he's stumbled into doing the right thing.

Calling my shot: Frank Baker is back on the city council because Boston sits atop a slumbering eldritch being that makes us collectively kind of stupid sometimes.

I have it on good authority that the Soros-funded terrorist left operates exclusively on U.S. domestic flights around major holidays. Secretary Duffy, you are our only chance of stopping them. Every second you wait, they get stronger.

I have finally removed the window A/Cs and activated the boiler that's older than every living thing in the house. Therefore, Boston, I apologize profusely for next week's inevitable surprise heat wave.

Quick expedition. Find Villa and get out. How hard could it be? It's not like Carranza will object.

No one wants this. The conservative suburbanites don't want it, the farmers don't want it, the construction guys don't want it. The people who aren't hardcore nazis voted for this because they thought mass deportations meant millions of totally hallucinated dick tracy villains getting rounded up
