Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

When we do this again in about 90 days

oh my god

A fucking interview with Trump during a football game??!?

I think a lot about the leaked signal chat, in which it was clear that folks were claiming presidential backing without any evidence. That’s how our government is running. People lying that they’ve talked to the president.

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Why is it a media scandal when a Christian consumes porn and not when they laugh at starving children? (Rhetorical, I know the answer).

this is an amazing photo

Watching The Hunt for Red October with my partner and he refers to Alec Baldwin as “Hilaria’s husband”.

"I decided not to block it because I assume that would nuke me in the algorithm" this sounds like you are arguing with a vending machine that is also an abusive partner

Three Cheers for Trillionaire Jizz! @theonion.com

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

There was a stealth change to moderation on this site and a everyone’s account was set to hide a lot of pretty normal posts by default. Take a look at these instructions to restore normal depravity, if you want.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Watching RFK jr run away from someone collapsing feels like a harbinger of things to come

As always, don't worry about being eloquent- most calls go straight to voicemail anyway. All you gotta do is verbalize "Hi I'm in your state. Thanks for insisting on health coverage. Please don't pass an end to the shutdown until we fix this healthcare problem." That's it! All done!

Apparently “He kept the trains running on time” was a joke about Mussolini. He did not, in fact, keep the trains running. Fascist efficiency was as much of a myth then as it is now.

to maximize gains you have to turn dark red republican districts in to red ones and red ones into light red ones. in a very bad national environment for Rs, this could bring a total wipeout. this is why i specified incumbents.

Oh, Dick Cheney died? Well-- *sees Bluesky mod around corner* What's really important is championing the open protocol.

sir, I was kinetically struck by a gluten-based fragmentation ordinance

The problem with most of Yglesias’s advice for Democrats is that Republicans do the opposite and win all the time. So it’s either bad advice or evidence of an asymmetric playing field, which he never addresses.

You don’t get to name your kid X Æ A-12 and then say “or whatever his name is” about anyone else.

As a strong supporter of free speech, I hope to see Zohran Mamdani criminalize use of the phrase "globalize the intifada" if he becomes mayor.

If 3 people in a row don’t pick up your call it’s because everyone you’ve ever met is in a room together voting on your greatest flaw

They need to update this one like they do to their mass shooting article

There’s a sort of Dunning-Kruger effect happening where people who read widely, consider various perspectives, and put in effort to understand views they disagree with worry that they don’t do that enough, while people who don’t do any of that accuse others of being in a bubble and call it a day.

I spoke with Richard Hooker Jr., who leads Teamsters Local 623 in Philly, about his run against Sean O'Brien for President of the Teamsters www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

RFK Jr. Greets Trick-Or-Treaters With Big Bowl Of Ape Glands https://theonion.com/rfk-jr-greets-trick-or-treaters-with-big-bowl-of-ape-glands/

More big news: the Senate just passed my bipartisan resolution to end Trump's global tariffs. This is a huge win and shows how unpopular Trump's tariffs really are. Now it's time for Mike Johnson to abandon his 6 week vacation and get this passed in the House.

I should’ve learned this by now but DO NOT use FedEx. The diseased monkeys I ordered haven’t arrived and I can’t get a straight answer on what happened to them

Am I reading this correctly: the firms that opposed Trump's intimidation tactics have suffered no consequences, whereas the firms that struck deals gave away $900 million while jeopardizing any work with clients who have interests at odds with the government? There's a lesson in there somewhere.

(4) Trump and the Republicans don't have an advantage over Democrats because they *better understand heartland Americans.* They have an advantage over Democrats because they created their own universe of propaganda outlets, and then went out and bought all the mainstream outlets. Duh.

The GOP has been extremely effective at shaping perceptions of the Democrats, claiming they support policy positions they don't actually support If your strategy, as a Dem, for winning in 2028 *STARTS* by buying their spin and lies, then you've already lost www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-strate...

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Staying up all night waiting to see the results, this shit is giving me election night PTSD

To be fair, every facet of American society is presently a command for educated liberals to stop existing.

you will note that the latest report, like all the reports, spend no time dealing with with the media environment or attention economy. (it also weirdly treats political choices as untethered from events)

Best-looking Birds’ win so far this year going into the bye

Thinking a lot recently about the outrage over Lizzo playing James Madison's flute

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

Like spotting the sun for a second on a cloudy day, occasionally, it’s easy to think there’s a better works out there behind the things we actually see

new autopen just dropped babe

A fundamental problem with left defenses of Platner is that he has not responded to the events of the last week in the way that someone with a rigorous and deeply held left ideology would.

Amazing that a supposed wonk who can’t wait get into the weeds strategically forgets how eyes work when it suits him

Really, they have no sense of self-preservation.
