Bringing private equity into college sports, what could possibly ever go wrong?

If birthright citizenship is undone in any way, that would mean that none of us are bound to the Constitutional framework at that point.

people died for birthright citizenship. i get that it’s more fun to be a pundit when your team has the white house and you get to brag to friends about visiting the oval office; but what i’m wondering is if maybe that’s actually not a good reason to throw away something we fought a civil war to win?

LMAAAAAAAAO @gallego.senate.gov thought he was going to be president one day. Fuck off you cowardly misogynist prick. If you ever find any balls to say this shit in person, feel free to come by my house and we can have a quick related interaction, you Nazi fuck.

The attacks on trans rights, which are basic human rights, are a terrible injustice and an attack on truth and fact as well. Everyone should be deeply alarmed and it should be disqualifying for a politician to support such discrimination.

We don't have to pretend obviously bad faith bullshit wasn't in bad faith.

It should have been a failing paper because it was horribly written. All of these people lining up to take a bullet for somebody who couldn't string three sentences together. Are these people going to different schools than I did? The U of U is a state school but like...we had to be able to write?

New ad dropped. Let’s go! I'm running for Congress in Utah's 1st District to take on big corporations & the billionaires. To make housing & energy more affordable, fight for Medicare for All, protect our public lands, & to build a future for all of us.

This story is supposed to be scandalous, but it's ignoring the millennia old tradition of the troops being fiscally irresponsible to the point of destroying their lives before they can even legally drink.

Think we’re underestimating the number of people in positions of responsibility who are paid to exercise good judgment that have decided that Trump’s election was a permanent political settlement to which there was no counter or resistance.

The fact doomers have gone from "America is over" to "Dems won't hold anyone responsible when this is over" can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.

Brexit really helping to reassert British power here, eh?

I’m horrified by the news coming out of our nation’s capital today. Our guardsmen selflessly dedicate themselves to service. This violence cannot be normalized in our country. Minnesota is sending our love to the families of the service members who were killed.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.

The affordability excuse is bullshit. You're talking about maybe $500 in sensors and some coding in vehicles that are in the tens of thousands of dollars.

Which is, of course, exactly what they're complaining about. Not only do the rich have private jets they also want to yell at the rest of us for not being happy that they are shoving us into the planes they have turned into cattle cars for the purposes of capitalism.

Big Ag: *Poisons Groundwater* Rolling Stone: "Why would Amazon Do This?"

I was worried this was a trap but actually yes, go google this instead of whatever else you were about to google

"She’s not trying to rebuild her reputation as a journalist—she’s building a different kind of brand entirely, one where being interesting matters more than being ethical, where attention is the only currency that still spends." The best thing I have read about her. www.mediaite.com/opinion/the-...

This also would have gone so hard on Mormon Twitter.

CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files? CHRIS MURPHY: So what?

Because we have a controlled media. Trump cut like two press passes and the entire press corps was putty in his hands.

women are always saying “lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.” ok well he did. now what. is the world a better place? look at what you’ve wrought.

Today's episode: Caillou learns about the separation of powers.

If Schumer did in fact lead Dems to fight Trump(don't believe for a second he didn't coordinate this deal; why is it only retirees and people up in '28), but even granting that presumption... He lost. That means he should lose his job. This is extremely simple, done every day in the private sector.

Very much needed win here.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

the “axios is fake news trying to stir shit, dems aren’t gonna cave” to “the dem deal is actually good and smart and savvy” pipeline is real and best explained not be rational trains of thought but fear and cognitive dissonance

Bitch please a lot of Americans barely even remember Jan 6th

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.

Sending love to everyone whose health care has been jeopardized by the Democratic cave-in. These Democratic elites will not be part of the solution. We must proceed with that understanding.

I think tonight shows why “moderate to win elections” is a real risk the big divide in the Dem caucus, as many have noted, has been less moderate vs progressive than fight versus don’t fight but it’s not a coincidence that basically everyone in the “don’t fight” camp is a moderate

This has to be the demand - not just a unfocused "fuck the cavers", but a focused demand to replace Schumer with someone who has already proven up to the moment. I will be making regular calls to have Schiff and Padilla demand this, and the more of us that do the more real it could be.

i don’t play pundit and try to guess how stuff will play to voters whose politics generally make no sense to me, but if ending the shutdown was about the important business of getting SNAP benefits and air travel back online, it also rewards hostage taking in a way that seems pretty ominous to me

Interesting that NY gov Kathy Hochul felt compelled to put out a statement against Dems' deal to end the shutdown

NEW from @votersoftomorrow.org: “Either through complicity or incompetence, Chuck Schumer once again proved he cannot provide the type of leadership that young Americans demand. It is clear he must step down as caucus leader.”

Like I fucking said.

Any Democrat doing this to Chuck Schumer when they see him in the hallway automatically gets an endorsement from me if they run for re-election

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

I shall continue the fight to my grave!

The most Democrat consultant-brained piece of this was making it a procedural fight about ACA subsidies — that, if extended for a year, would help the GOP in the 2026 midterms anyway — instead of making it stand against Trump’s lawlessness and corruption. But that would require believing in things.

Any Democratic senator, at any moment, could've derailed this by calling for Schumer's replacement and casting their colleagues as MAGA collaborators, thereby shifting the Overton window. But they're all in on it. This was always a team effort.

The traitorous 8 need to be removed first from office and then they need to be harassed as the traitors they are for the rest of their natural lives. Not a single one of these Trump ball lickers should be able to show their face and everyone supporting or defending them should admit you’re MAGA.

Listening to these 8 Dem Senators explain their vote convinces me that they are either idiots or liars. Either is plausible.

That’ll be a no from me dawg. Call your local asshole and explain that this ain’t it

They're doing this is because they hate us. They can't stand that the economic engine of Utah is mostly run by Democrats. They hate that there are poor people living in their districts. They want the elderly and disabled to hurry up and die. They want your kids uneducated. They hate every one of us.

Then don't run him for president. Like this is insane. Currently the media is focusing on an east-coast mayor, so therefore a party which spans from hawaii to the midwest to new mexico to georgia MUST be defined by that single candidate. Grow the fuck up. Get your heads out of your own asses.
