Not dunking on Zack or this post, I’m just always struck by how easily American journalists will admit that the media shapes public polling and political outcomes when they’re not talking about America.

Read my lips: My war is the reason we can’t do daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things!

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Justice Jackson absolutely skewering Sauer

This would give us John Roberts, so that’s 4 votes.

Next Dem president is going to have to solve for this dynamic. The filibuster and SCOTUS, if left unchecked, make it very likely that the next Dem president is followed by a Republican. We can’t stay stuck on this broken political system. Or rather, we can but we shouldn’t. Dems must deliver.

Trump Always Chickens Out Maybe Except Against Tehran

The people who will be pearl-clutching at the celebrations when It Happens will be seeing this post a lot.

This is called a coffin corner

Remember when people defended Manchin on the grounds that we needed Democrats like him to win in places like West Virginia, and then Manchin just didn’t run for reelection?

Mr. President, we should make them call it the Strait of America

Just sail through the minefield, cowards!

He's never hidden the strategy he thinks will work.

SCOTUS seals Iran’s fate

SCOTUS strikes down Trump tariffs based on major questions doctrine

The thing to understand here is that the lying is not meant to be believable. It’s intentionally over-the-top precisely so that the intended audience at Mar-a-Lago will recognize it as a lie and, consequently, a display of service that deserves credit.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

DOJ investigating whether Denmark lied on its Greenland mortgage.

You assholes put Rümeysa Öztürk in an unmarked van for writing a milquetoast op-ed

Apparently disrespecting law enforcement is disrespecting the law, but following law enforcement is not following the law.

No tariffs ruling today from SCOTUS

Looks like it took them just under two hours to confirm their talking points.

Exonerated?

It’s always “America is the greatest country but we simply could not accomplish something that multiple other countries have.”

Working-class solidarity in this case means all the black and brown workers have to just accept working alongside the white lady who hurls racial epithets. And if she’s comfortable enough to call the customer slurs, how do you think her coworkers fare?

Curious how CNN calls the Dem health care bill a “similarly partisan bill” when the Dem bill got four Republican votes (and the Republican bill lost one Republican vote) @mtsw.bsky.social why would CNN give the GOP this helpful frame?

How are we still doing this 2017 bit in 2025?

Eat it, John Roberts

Todd Blanche would have had these emails before interviewing Maxwell. Why didn’t he question her directly about her exchanges? Why did he not follow up when she said things that were onviously a lie?? This shows that was a performance intended to dupe the public and benefit her (and Trump)

I genuinely believe that one of our few paths to defeat this authoritarian attack is to get lucky with SCOTUS seats. We need GOP dysfunction keeping at least 2 of Alito/Thomas/Roberts on the bench into 2027. And we need to retake the Senate so we can keep Trump from replacing all three.

If 40 million people go hungry, it would be because the Trump administration ignored a court order, not because Democrats fought for Article I powers.

Every single workday… “Adobe Continuous Update needs to close all of your pdfs to install an important update.” *Three minutes later…* “Installation failed.” (presumably because some admin access is required)

Donald Trump, famed for moderating on <checks notes> trade

Seeing a lot of people pouring dirt on the Dodgers corpse now that Toronto is on the way to an insurmountable 3-2 series lead

Are these examples of Charlie preaching the greatness of America?

Trump administration taking food out of Americans’ mouths, money out of farmer’s pocket.

Maine Dems:

A play in three acts

it makes me incandescently furious that roberts invented the idea of banning coercive conditions on funding to kill medicaid expansion and refuses to do a single thing about the fact that the trump administration's entire deal is "coercive conditions on funding"

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

hello 911? yea its me again…uh huh thats right, theyre still posting his exact quotes

Look we can’t ban guns or next thing you know secret government police will disappear people without due process

Time to deploy the national guard from various states to Utah.

Pure joy:

The way the NYT is covering Leader Jeffries’ magic minute speech and covered Speaker Pelosi’s similar effort vs how it covered McCarthy doing the same thing.
