This is fair — anti-semitism was trending back up as a reactionary harbinger of the backlash to the woke era. These things come in cycles and social media has fueled it. BUT it was supercharged by our political system’s reaction to Oct 7 and Gaza events, where we rake stepped into every trope

Starting to wonder if there’s some Senate-like shenanigans going on here, wherein they knew they had to throw out the opinion but some of the swing votes were given a dispensation to dissent in order to appease Leonard Leo and their sponsors.

Stu Holden is very good, probably the best color analyst of the tournament

People signing up for insurance and then not using it is pretty much what you want in any insurance market… right? Like, covered people not needing care is good!

I find his face disturbing and I don’t think Im alone

“You, sir, have TDS. Now, me? I’m just a normal guy.”

I do not understand how one candidate (Chevalier) can win one primary election and it just redefines what the future of the Democratic Party is for everyone. The discourse around all of this has been insane. We are not back in 2019 because of one election.

It’s nuts that Fox News has leaned into this with their entire brand even though it’s just a complete abject failure. It truly is one of the most pathetic displays I’ve ever seen

Is a cease fire still “at risk” if both sides are bombing eachother

The disrespect

The NFL stadia are clearly the best stadia in terms of creature comforts, but… Guadalajara is the coolest looking stadium architecturally

“All Cops are Bastards!” Counterpoint: Do you know my mans

Sounds about right — but I’m not sure “Davos vs Dubai” is an accurate or meaningful distinction anymore

Iron Law of Institutions personified, a guy who would rather maintain power within a fading organization than actually win

He’s not going anywhere because of Chevalier, that’s silly. Let people vent and then get back to work.

The waste of taxpayer money involved in this debacle is something I would make an issue of if I was David Jolly. You can make an exclusively anti-corruption argument to the center while also motivating the base. Go after it as a boondoggle

With Brad Lander's commanding victory, I think what we need most now is a 92Y panel consisting entirely of neoconservative commentators discussing the political homelessness that liberal Jews are experiencing.

TBH I feel like Mamdani has bent over backwards to demonstrate that he's not remotely antisemitic, and guys like Frum who will call him an antisemite anyway on the basis of his religion and anti-Zionism are doing the work of bona fide antisemites

My Man!!!

I think all the results in the NY primaries are hopeful signs that voters are demanding a party that’s more responsive to their needs and aspirations. That’s going to look different in different places. It’s not always going to look like NY. But it’s good for democracy regardless.

She’s incredibly out of step with the moment. This entire interview (on Fox News!) was an abject disaster for her. She had a good few weeks where she was able to avoid any scrutiny and let the race be a referendum on Platner. That’s completely unsustainable and we are seeing why.

His ability to lie so shamelessly with such ease is a super power that truly is sui generis even for a politician

This is the message. I know people call this “slopulism” here because highly educated people love to tout how complex everything is, but this is a powerful progressive message that also happens to be true!

This is his leadership PAC and is therefore entirely legal— this isn’t a Gallego scandal, it’s a scandal that belongs to the entire system

The people who called libs snowflakes for a decade are now posting about how they have a “right” to “not feel” a certain way.

Again, we don’t have any credibility on these threats at all. None. The Iranians just absolutely dusted us, they are probably laughing at this.

He literally just lost a war to these guys and is right back to talking about how he’s going to “take over” the strait.

Hate the new World Cup tiebreaker format. In Group D —due to the head to head tie breaker — one matchday 3 match will be meaningless and the other sets up for a gentleman’s handshake tie. It’s bad for the spirit of the competition

Election Twitter centrist knobs when a DCCC-backed wet fart loses a primary

Vance is basically right wing woke personified

The media will be painting him as anti-Iran War again within a month. He’s the most effective gaslighter in the history of mankind. Not just politically speaking— I mean the entire species.

Sure, Messi’s good, but can be do it on a rainy night in Cincinnati? (Yes)

Why are seemingly all of Susan Collins's campaign testimonials from professional Republicans (in this case a former GOP state representative) who don't identify themselves as such? It's sketchy but it also feels desperate. And sort of pathetic. #MEpolitics

Translation: Iran allowed the U.S. to have language for what they need to say to their domestic audience

WOAH CHECKMATE!

Our 80 year old Make-A-Wish President

this is the difference between them and us: they actually understand the stakes instead of assuming they can try again with better candidates after the current Dems lose

We’ve come a long way ay from Aaron Burr and Hamilton to … a challenge to a gluttony contest

Nice try, this is the Chicago River in March

I’m not saying the Fetterman full court press against Platner on Fox is some kind of op to get Maine Dems to consolidate behind Graham… But if you were going to run an op like that it would look a lot like this!

MLS: *builds massive, globally competitive free-to-play academy system over just 15 years, supplies 80% (and climbing) of USMNT pool* Bluesky expert: "your only choices are college or Europe!"

Log on to this app and everyone talking about watching Trump’s name come off the KenCen on livestream and not the US dominating its WC opener. Bluesky not quite ready to beat the allegations

We should expect better out of our candidates and party structures than whatever this slop is.

If you don’t like Graham, that’s fine — but the takes that he’s winning because voters are dumb and like dumb guys are just elitist nonsense. Anyone can win the way he campaigns. Identify people’s material crisis’, name the people who are at fault for them, and show them you’ll fight for them.

Yeah probably

Nobody has ever jawboned the market like Trump. A memo to the next Dem President — you can do this too! Nothing is real and they’re all sheep.

The funny thing about this Foote quote is that it is nearly impossible to argue that confederate soldiers were ambivalent about the end of slavery. They were racked with fears of violent racial reprisals — preventing this was a major reason why the black codes got worse over time.

They’re gonna make Mamdani mayor for life

We absolutely cannot let this petty Iran war shit distract the media from asking our leaders the critical questions like, where are Graham Platner’s sext messages and whether any hog pics might leak

Platner’s number one goal TODAY is uniting the Democratic Party in Maine behind him. Collins staff must have absolutely hit the wall when they saw Trump say this
