RFK had Rob Reiner murdered because he helped get rid of McDonald's beef tallow fries

the thing that makes me angriest about arguments from Yglesias and Bazelon is the bland, placid insistence that it is not just imperative to vote for politicians with no principles, but that if you as a private citizen have principles then you may as well be turning on the gas chambers yourself.

Who the fuck decided that being bigoted against Muslims would be called Islamaphobia? It sounds stupid, and isn't even accurate.

The New York Times, where the popular mayor-elect of their city is a fringe figure, but the QAnon podcaster who asked him a racist question comes out as a "winner" This newspaper hates its readers as much as Republicans hate their voters. And if you're still supporting either, you deserve it.

The libs trying to smash a class politics peg into the identity politics hole: “See, it’s clear there’s no evidence this will fit!”

Watching @emilyflitter.bsky.social melt down over the NYT's Epstein coverup never gets old.

Let’s check in on team Hillary and see how they’re doing?

Because that's not the point of the meme. The point being made here is that Dems are often perfectly willing to adopt shallow signaling of support for human rights (the rainbow flag) but change nothing about how America fundamentally violates those rights both at home and abroad

I dunno I was told by the consultant Dem class that everyone fits neatly on a political issue spectrum line and we just need to keep turning the knob to the right until we have enough votes to win

yep. and while it isn’t the whole reason Schumer and Gillibrand also share this belief

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Hey @schumer.senate.gov did you fall and can’t get up? Your website doesn’t list a public appearance since September. WHERE DID YOU GO?

the sooner people internalize this about the dems, stop projecting their fantasies on the party, and start demanding more, the better off we’ll all be.

This is the week we learned that the New York Times is willing to cover up handjobs for some people and also willing to give them to others.

Megyn R. Kelly is the best burn I’ve had in a while

Not now sweetie. Mommy’s watching NYT writers crash out defending their employer that actively covered up the extent of Trump’s Epstein ties for a decade.

I’ll never give the NYT another red fucking cent as long as I live.

I’m just here for the ratio. Nothing like smug self-important journos like @emilyflitter.bsky.social here desperately trying to defend their relevance and social stature.

lolllll

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

Jeffrey Epstein in 2015: "would you like photos of donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen."

For anyone wondering why we didn't see these Epstein/Trump emails until now, this is the reason. We could have used the Epstein files to fight Trump much earlier, but a bunch of Dems were also implicated. So, instead it was buried until now.

The coward @schumer.senate.gov has now had the phone lines off at his office for 48 hours running.

How tone deaf is this useless piece of centrist trash?

burn this party to the fucking ground

the new york times relies on its immensely popular games to both drive subscriptions AND generate ad revenue from non-paying subscribers. stop playing wordle, even if it's free.

Does anyone know when @schumer.senate.gov will be at his house in Park Slope next? I'm showing up with a fucking airhorn to keep him up all night.

Nobody wants to join a gutless chickenshit party.

Mar Awa III, patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East, also born in Chicago, gave Pope Leo a Cubs jersey.

Shout out to @davidjbier.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/did:...

"They will not be able to order food in a restaurant without having it spit in. Who do you think works in New York City’s kitchens, fuckos? Don’t miss the spit bagels, spit hot dogs, and spit pastrami sandwiches of our fine city. You sad little clowns." — @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social

Senate Democrats go a single week without actively supporting the Trump administration challenge.

So did @gruber.foo just completely punt on this year's iPhone review or what?

This is nightmarish and every Dem politician, every media figure who is silent is complicit. This is not supposed to happen here. Masked thugs with guns dragging moms away in front of their screaming children. Trump’s government must be destroyed and his accomplices must rot in prison

Oh no, where will I ever get access to incredible @sallyjenx.bsky.social takes like "Charlie Kirk had some good ideas" and "The Free Press is good journalism"

Chutzpah: Grifting “opposition party” hits up New Yorkers even as its (NYC!) leadership *still* refuses to endorse its own nominee for NYC mayor.

"I like a lot of what's in the Free Press" Enough said folks.

civility is when a white guy calls for minorities to be eliminated in a calm voice while wearing an expensive suit

also kirk's form of persuasion really was race-baiting short form internet propaganda aimed at impressionable kids, funded by racist rich people trying to erode informed consensus and cement permanent rule in an anti-democratic way, something I see no indication of Ezra Klein understanding

Kirk was "interesting" only in his ability to dress up gutter-level racism and bigotry with a digestible sheen of respectability and liberal order

For anyone confused why @sallyjenx.bsky.social is dedicating her day to shining Charlie Kirk’s knob, go read some of her dad’s writing. She’s just carrying on in the Jenkins family tradition. www.golfdigest.com/story/dan-je...

If you give a dollar to @theatlantic.com this is what you’re funding. The absolute pinnacle of edgelord bothsidesism.

Charlie Kirk sowing: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Charlie Kirk reaping: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

These people are absolutely brain diseased.

This is your brain on centrism folks. “Ackshually, voting with Trump is a form of opposition!”

anyway, @edzitron.com is going to have a very entertaining 2026 full of back pats

Why blame the party, elected officials, and paid consultants who led the party to crippling election losses when you can just angrily screech at the electorate?

Still reeling from the news that Israel has officially lost the Obama Jons.
