Sounds like 12 Senators who would gleefully forfeit even their own families to serve Likud. What an odd thing to do. How could you commit such a heinous moral atrocity as to threaten the families of war crimes prosecutors? I’m guessing at least all of the threateners were Democrats too.

"I've been threatened for investigating Israel - 12 U.S. senators threatened to go after our families if we investigated Israel" Karim Khan, prosecutor of the International Criminal Court until just a few days ago, reports that "Israeli proxies threatened him for investigating its crimes in Gaza.

A friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding at the Great American State Fair bc he knows no one is there.

N.b. for climate change the standard is “society would at minimum not revolt if forced to” and not “would gladly choose of their own volition.” The chance for the second one was only presented to the Boomers and they wildly failed the test and forced the much harder question on all of us today.

Some dude was on here claiming that “profiting” $100B from TARP - giving the auto industry sweetheart loans we charged them no penalty for early repayment on and taking no equity for risking nearly a TRILLION of our dollars. Y’all AFAIK banks don’t generally lend *that* kind of money for no equity.

Do folks think the need to haul people and goods around on wheeled conveyances is new. I see *many* criticisms of cars that would double as criticisms of wheeled conveyances like carriages and chariots (all three etymologically nearly-identical). Bicycles are like horses. Not carriages or buggies.

My number one requirement for Dems: do they know who the real enemy is.

People are going after the DSA based on a Newsweek report, meaning it’s based off of trusting a conservative media outlet. But even if the allegations are true, no one has explained why most of Congress is allowed a far more cozy relationship with Israel and Europe. You see why Newsweek is bogus?

Whatever knowledge non-leftist political observers think they have about American politics, “reliably defeating unreconstructed slavery enthusiasts at the ballot box and more importantly in the laws” isn’t one of them. Maybe you should welcome their hatred, as FDR did. I know I do!

Like even if they score a hit, they’re still the enemy, Sky. You do not have to help the enemy with its propaganda. This is what we keep trying to get centrists and others to grasp onto. You’re claiming a sophistication for which your evidence is 40 years of losing to conservative rich people.

LeBron is so good at basketball he and his partner made another basketball player and he also is a professional basketball player who plays with his dad who is still the greatest basketball player at present also. Like, no one else could top that. Ever.

the IOC is like the Giannis of corruption (perennial top-tier player, has been the best player in the world at times, high on any all-time player ranking) but FIFA is the LeBron of corruption, the GOAT and somehow continuing to produce legendary levels of corruption after all these years

We are the bad guys. Are we all just going to sit around and let the Republicans and centrists destroy our country between them, laughing all the way to the segregated country club about bipartisanship? Are you going to sit there and allow them to do all this enormous evil in your name?

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

The sheer moral obscenity of a centrist pointing to a leftist and shrieking “they’re obsessed with their purity!” and then turn around and prove they don’t know right from wrong by seeking bipartisanship with Nazis. Like, centrists? You’d benefit from having any purity at all of any kind.

Trump’s right. We can’t have wars and also have nice things. Also we are going to need to fight a war against literally just “the rich people of the world” just to get into the position where they’ll stop forcing us all to not figure out how to solve climate change. That’s what they’re doing.

“Peace” is going to kill 7 billion people just from it being too hot. Doesn’t sound peaceful to me in the slightest. It sounds like an obscene moral catastrophe. “We wanted to keep our hands clean. That’s why 7 billion other people died.” Sounds positively evil, put that way. Wars can be needed.

Clearly Netanyahu and Israel are zealous students of how America simultaneously infantilized and demonized an entire race. It’s the “they’re an unsophisticated child race” on the one hand, justifying the slavery. And “even a child of theirs is dangerous and scary and a threat.” *So* white Euro!

Yes that’s the definition of a child, well done

Crime to take down the man the Court put above the law isn’t crime. It’s Art.

Why are you trying to work with this President, Jon Ossoff, instead of destroy him. We do not want you to have the President sign bills. We want you to remove him by literally any means necessary including and maybe even especially crime. Crime to take down the man the Courts put above the law.

Y’all get that China leading the electric car revolution could’ve been the US? When we bailed out the auto industry in 2009, we should’ve just taken over the industry itself and forced it to start the electric car revolution China is now leading. That was an enormous mistake in favor of the rich.

Like just as an idea of something you should hold against Obama: He bailed out the automobile industry, took no equity for the public when any private investor would’ve required it for that amount of money, and then didn’t even require them to start the electric car revolution China is now leading.

I agree. The biggest problem with the American State Fair is that it’s not a state fair. It doesn’t appear the people who planned it had ever even read about a state fair. A real state fair would’ve been in the parking lot of RFK stadium & the best country acts in the world would play inside.

I earnestly hope this was Steve Jobs hiding an Easter egg to bag on Europe for being evil to Syria for like a couple millennia.

The thing about Europeans is how frequently they enslave other people. Like is there something just innately wrong with Europeans? Is whiteness the Mark of Cain from the Bible? Seems to be. Violent, warlike, dominating, greedy, cruel, sadistic. Unbrotherly to humans generally, even other Euros.

vindicated on my longheld belief that the dems could've won way more often even without giving lefties like me anything if they just poured money into the basic on the ground fundamentals instead of consultants and ads, but they don't, didn't, and won't

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

All going well in Russia.

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

BP is why the US led a coup in Iran in 1953. We here in the US are still bombing Iran in 2026 because our leaders are bad people who shouldn’t be allowed weapons. BP blew up Deepwater Horizon due to their skill issues. BP helped destroy the planet’s climate. Shame if their shit were to burn.

BP not only funded the research behind the influential “Wedges” climate science paper, but company execs even tried to revise versions of it. “Chaps, I have had a go at rewriting the paper,” a BP climate adviser wrote the researchers at one point.

It should tell you all you need to know that centrists are making these same insane demands they’ve been making of the left despite the centrists losing. They’re not good people. They’re conservatives who schemed to take our party over and then be so bad at protecting our rights the US slid right.

The same Democratic leaders who lost the White House, the Senate & House, the Supreme Court and a majority of governorships are telling progressive Democrats pushing for change to shut up because they know best how to win. Once again: Dems don't have an identity crisis, we have a leadership crisis!

How did Texas Democrats not get this until Talarico? That state party, man. They don’t have anybody left who remembers how to win. Talarico is doing well just being competent and decent.

I guess Ken Paxton isn’t happy here, and that’s why he works so hard to make it miserable for everyone else. Some of the most hateful Texas politicians aren’t native Texans, e.g., Ted Cruz, Dan Patrick, and Kendra here. Best vote for the eighth-generation Texan, @jamestalarico.bsky.social

Dude you can go to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago and see one of the few remaining buildings. It was incredible. Meant to impress and it left a permanent impression on America.

I finally made it to the Great American State Fair. The columns on this fake building are something to behold.

I just want to put this "fun" blast from the past here--an article in late 2004 in which Democrats can be seen blaming gay marriage activists for losing John Kerry the election by bringing lawsuits to enforce marriage equality. This article was not the only one.

When they said, "wear a suit," I just assumed…  Find a public pool near you at nycgovparks.org.

Borders for people are stupid. Of course ICE should be abolished.

Imagine if Iran got to prepare under the same rules that the other 47 teams do.

I hear folks should be considering how Supreme Court Justices might drink a glass of Roundup.

One thing that often strikes me is that conservatives seem to share my extremely low opinion of conservatives. Where we differ is that I'm aware of people who *aren't* insecure, selfish douchebags & they seem to doubt the existence of any such thing. They just believe *everyone* is awful.

Dr. Joseph Mercola, a vaccine skeptic with millions of followers, told parents for years that vitamin K shots were unnecessary for newborns. Now he's changed his mind. The reversal came after we contacted him while reporting on babies who died after parents declined the shot: propub.li/4aowazm

Every time I'm in Illinois, I spend half the trip being like "Holy shit they're selling beer AND wine AND whiskey at this 7-11! Look a happy hour! Bars are open, late, and BUSY!" And then I go back to Massachusetts and its like living in 1926 by comparison. State-by-state laws are... a choice.

Establishment Democrats and Republicans are enraged by Zohran Mamdani and his one weird trick of using tax dollars to help taxpayers instead of only benefiting corporate lobbyists or hurting minorities & trans people.
