Labour won only 34% of the vote lol

In a sea of grifters and liars it’s almost refreshing that MTG is just a genuine moron and psycho

Many are pointing out that Trump is a known liar (what?! no way!!!!) so his Venezuela facility strike story could be false, but either way it feels important to confirm whether we just started a land war or he lied about starting one and the admin is running cover!

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

“Don’t make any sudden movements, or they’ll spot us,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) It seems the Onion guessed what the Democrats strategy would be months ago. Don't rock the centrist boat too much and wait for mid-terms. Spineless bastards. theonion.com/democratic-l...

So many years of Schumer saying stuff like "my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are being less than forthright....". And when Trump started his 2nd term by shredding the Constitution, Democratic leadership's response was "don't let him distract you, focus on the price of eggs".

According to this new poll for @VirginiaHHA by Mason-Dixon, Virginia voters by a massive margin (including a majority even among Republicans) want Congress to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits bluevirginia.us/2025/12/mond...

But it's not profiling.

Yes. Exactly. Well said.

According to the Wikipedia article on the filming of American Psycho, for a brief moment, Jared Leto genuinely thought Christian Bale was going to murder him with an axe on set

Remember that time Obama saved his Congressional majority and secured the Senate for generations by promising to expand offshore oil exploration?

"Attention hacking" makes it sound like they are winning the game rather than rigging it - Republicans bought up and control the biggest platforms and audiences. There are machines that literally determine what stories people see and conservatives own the machines.

She followed around a Parkland kid to harass him about how school shootings aren’t real, and her doing this shit propelled her to conspiracy internet fame then Congress. You do not have to hand it to her.

That's right: if you support Trump, you support "The dumbest man to ever sit in the White House. Not even as president just the dumbest human to ever take a seat anywhere in the White House" bluevirginia.us/2025/12/mond... h/t @adamkinzinger.substack.com

something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore

i hear they are the opposition

The leaders of the Democratic Party do not speak and operate as if the opposition is fascist so why would a voter who doesn’t spend every day hooked on all this think so?

Correct. If Trump is fascist why are you unanimously voting for his Secretary of State?

as we watch the ny times rehab marjorie taylor greene, if only we had some kind of template for this kind of behavior in the recent past

Another dozen or so authors could request a correction like this. "In Covid's Wake" egregiously misrepresents research and ignores the scientific consensus throughout. Embarrassing that it's being praised by credible outlets.

Under any circumstances, let us not forget what a deep douchebag David Sacks is. Never forget.

Most underrated Biden admin mistake was bailing out Silicon Valley Bank. SVB bet big on low interest rates and lost. Rich tech VCs who put too many eggs in that basket generated a bank run, then called for govt money. Got their bailout, helped elect Trump, and now reaping rewards from corruption.

youngkin brought back a Jim Crow-era policy of voter disenfranchisement under him, Virginia became the *only* state to practice the harsh rule that anyone with any felony conviction ought to remain barred from voting for life boltsmag.org/virginia-gov...

Here's the thing: People talk. White House reporters know what's behind the IV infusions. They're just not reporting it to the public.

absolute best case scenario when you make fun of someone wearing a mask is you’re joking about a family member with a chronic respiratory illness. anti-mask shit won. you won! what more do you want

if it was sickeningly obvious on 1/6 to me (guy who is not in politics) that they would find a way to defend this inside their media/political environment within a week, then it should have been obvious to actual democratic leaders.

Maybe a day-of impeachment would have failed. But every minute they waited reduced the odds of success, it was the only appropriate constitutional remedy, and Pelosi absolutely did not push forward to it right away. She stalled and delayed, figuring she could wait Trump out.

I’m sorry, this is just not correct. There were members that wanted to impeach Trump on Jan. 6. Many people said if you waited, GOP outrage would fade. It did. Pelosi spent days only cautiously committing to impeach, and fussing around with absurd stuff like 25th Amendment remedies.

For those of us who can’t get through the WSJ pay wall, here’s the nuts and bolts of what in any other era would be the greatest presidential scandal in history. boingboing.net/2025/12/27/t...

“Look dude we didn’t mind the racism you just had to not do it to your boss”

Still think Stephen Miller should’ve been beaten until he pissed himself in front of his high school classmates

gn

"the president's own party will never convict him" (true) has been turned into "impeachment is deeply unpopular" (false) by DC conventional wisdom there's absolutely no evidence that either Trump impeachment was good for him or his party, politically, even if he wasn't convicted

Feel like this fits nicely into the “nobody remembers who was President in 2020” theory of politics

Carolyn Maloney being an antivax racist freak makes perfect sense when you realize she was only the second Democrat to represent the Upper East Side in the House in modern times, the first being Ed Koch

the evangelical base was built out of grifting, they are grifters all the way down and always have been jerry falwell, tim lahaye, pat robertson… charlie kirk comes from a long proud line of people who want you to give them your money

Dave Weigel should have his stupid fucking mustache forcibly waxed.

After getting away with the Jan-6th coup attempt i'm surprised he's bothering to cover-up his crimes anymore.

it’s crazy how obvious it is that donald trump has been actively part of the epstein coverup for half a decade now and he’s just still the president

There's a lot of recriminations flying around about past Trump impeachments and I would just like humbly to suggest we consider ways to force the removal from power of Stephen Miller. Could we impeach him? Defund his position? Bar him any access to legal authority? What tools can we conjure up here?

In case there was any doubt about where big tech stands.

I try not to become so bitter a person that I would wish my long covid on anyone. I don’t wish the crushing fatigue, the heart problems, the weight gain, the hair loss, inability to exercise, the shattered immune system, on anyone. But I do fucking wish none of them could ever eat a potato again.

One of the many reasons "Abolish ICE" has been a popular refrain on the left — besides the fact that borders and border security means violence — is that ICE and CBP were always going to be the agencies that would become the SS.

When you definitely have not been hornswoggled into filing an expensive lawsuit by a Florida ambulance chaser whose whole deal is filing Donald Trump’s nuisance suits

If it weren’t so terrifying that these people have actual power, it would be flat out comical that an adult could believe this. We don’t have flying cars because USAID got a toenail clipping off the federal budget?

I see Gavin Newsom knows how to read the room. (Of course he’s invited to the Dealbook clown-fest, past invitees include Netanyahu, Sam Bankster-Fraud, Tony Blair…)

@gilduran.com I knew about his strong ties with the Getty family, but he apparently serves several San Francisco billionaires. https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-pol-ca-gavin-newsom-san-francisco-money/
