If I were argentina here I would simply reach back into my long military tradition of successful island invasions

after watching soccer for a while, I think both bosnia and croatia would get better results if they simply combined their teams. maybe throw in a few other small nearby states in there, too

the blue tea party will be real and our friend

imagine looking at Colorado's results last night and thinking there's no blue tea party

yeah we've flown waaaaay too close to the sun. the amount of liquidity on a random tuesday night NBA game on Polymarket feels greater than what someone could reasonably put down on the Super Bowl ten years ago hope it doesn't take election betting down with it, but this isn't sustainable

The fact that four of the justices read “all persons born in the US are citizens of the US” and then said that ending birthright citizenship is totally fine is more proof that all the “constitutional conservatism” and “textualism” is pure bullshit They’re just unabashed hacks

5 votes that the 14th amendment says the thing it obviously says 1 vote that it doesnt say that but an identical congressional statute does (what) 1 vote that lol nothing matters BUT domicile saves illegal immigrant children, but not people legally here 2 votes that I'm not fucking reading fuck you

Alito's argument – that counting ballots after Election Day means "the electorate’s choice does not occur on election day, and the federal election-day statutes are violated" – is some of the dumbest reasoning I have ever seen. The "choice" doesn't occur at the time of counting!

I think Platner wins by well over 2 points in a blue wave that breaks against old incumbents in particular I also think (many of) the Dems still have -no fucking idea- that their coalition doesn't include the (white) working class anymore. Like, at all

air conditioning discourse is the dumbest thing ever argued about on any website, but I have plenty of energy to post about it because it's nice and cool in here

John Roberts will want you to forget everything that happened this week at SCOTUS after he confirms that the first sentence of the 14th Amendment means what it says, please do not fall for it

"is there any circumstance under which you'd vote far right?" "I mean, you'd have to come up with a real life trolley problem"

New - I wrote about progressive Jewish ascendancy in Mamdanistan:

turning the 24th pick in the NBA draft (possibly negative value given the contract) into 5 million dollars and *six* second rounders, with more to go, is inspiring GM wizardry

Britain has gone a full decade without any meaning economic growth

This primary is actually so much more fucked than Platner / Mills, because both the incumbent and the (anti Ukraine, full prison abolitionist, omega tankie) challenger should be fired into the sun. The only saving grace is that it’s safe D

"Why is this politician so unpopular? I was looking for one reason and got 30 different ones" look, normal unpopularity is easy. if you want to plumb true depths of shittiness you have to dig more than just once

Burnham is probably better than Starmer in one critical way: if Labour somehow survives 2029 he will be tempted to do a Rejoin referendum "somehow" is doing a tremendous amount of work there, though

lol

who could have predicted JD Vance getting to be the fall guy for one of the first 34,103 terrible ideas Trump has had this term so far

This one is not an 'I come from the future' moment, but Burnham, who's uniting a bunch of anti-Starmers in addition to his own voters, does not lose it in 1 in 7 universes

Breaking News: the algae has agreed to accept $300 billion to consider vacating the reflecting pool

you are lindsay graham and you have just stepped through the time machine to 2016. you have one chance, just one, to change history for the better. you place a call to benjamin netanyahu. "look, I know this goes against everything we both hold dear, but we are all Democrats now"

If you just retroactively pretend that America and Israel had goals entirely different from their stated ones then you can pretty definitively conclude that they won decisively. In this essay for The Atlantic / Brookings / Foreign Affairs / Foreign Policy / Carnegie / WINEP / FDD, I will—

look I realize I’m a New Yorker but separately on a deep spiritual level I also understand futzing around for the first three quarters and realizing all of a sudden you have to show up for the fourth

The Knicks only lost one game in the last two months and it was the one Trump went to lmao

my mayor's muslim my bagel's jewish i don't understand how time works in the 4th quarter against all odds i'm a knicks supporter

this person ran for president, did poorly, and then made it her mission to destroy pete buttigieg for not having enough experience in politics

81-52 is the new 28-3

The bagels are still Jewish hell yeah

if you mix this with a dash of white guy confidence you will be unstoppable no matter what you do

There are the boos we were looking for

Free Speech Champion(tm) Bari Weiss demanding CBS News smear an American executed by her government for protesting bsky.app/profile/elio...

this was the largest position I've ever taken outside of a general election on the theory that it would pay out in four weeks fairly often

“Jalen Brunson dribbles out the clock to put the Knicks up 3-0 in the NBA Finals while a euphoric Madison Square Garden chants TRUMP’S AN ASSHOLE” is a scenario that is absolutely in play, and I believe it would be among the greatest moments in TV history

matt stoller represents a future vote for Hawley for president and six fell for it again awards

De toute façon, je voudrais annoncer que, après moins qu’une année et sans aucun connaissance avant de commencer, je parle français suffisament pour la vie quotidienne et pour quelques autres besoins (Canadianishly)

www.thebulwark.com/p/bill-pulte... As a part time BBBY meltdowner, this has been beyond amazing to see (negative)

just an absolute malignant narcissist

many days in the future some twerp, possibly my own child, having just learned about America's mass of nonvoters, will quip in my earshot what could be possible if a politician could reach them. whereupon I will immediately slap them and shout "no, leave them be. leave them the fuck be."

reluctantly impressed they aren't rioting yet

4 things are true about Kamala: -she got thrown under a bus after taking over the worst campaign in living memory -given Biden was losing NY that July she outperformed by a lot -nobody knows the second thing so she's perceived as a massive loser -she can't run a primary campaign and sucks anyway

the DNC report is, of course, slop garbage. but most autopsies are either bad, their advice never followed, or both. what separates this one from something like GOP 2012 is that instead of being farmed out to expensive consultants or pissed off insiders, it got farmed out to chatgpt instead

FYI I come from the future and Spencer Pratt did not become the next mayor of Los Angeles, California in 2026

the paul family...antisemitic...my entire life has been a lie

in Starmer's defense, he has managed to do the impossible: allow the left to be taken seriously enough to potentially block Farage *checks notes* oh dear

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...
