And lo! The poster proposed a first-of-its-kind idea: A law regarding landlords and tenants. It had never been tried before! Surely it could not fail.

“US and Iran agree in principle to a deal, then disagree on every single clause.” a European official speaking to Faytuks Network says

Would’ve been funnier if Iran made it $19.79 billion

Perry says she was "incredibly shocked by the redactions that were made. … I have never seen the types of prosecutorial behavior before a grand jury that I saw in those transcripts."

#BREAKING U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros annoucnes that charges against the remaining members of the "Broadview Six" will be dismissed with prejudice.

ETTD (stabbed by Trump)

This release extends to “Plaintiffs or related or affiliated individuals (including, without limitation, family or others filing jointly)” This is absolutely going to be used by anyone associated with Trump to avoid prosecution for anything by a future Dem administration.

Our system relies on a shared commitment to certain democratic principles. The GOP has opted out of that shared commitment. This will continue to spiral until something breaks. The only way for it to break in a positive direction is for a pro-democracy coalition to be clear-eyed and relentless.

I personally don’t think the guy who tried a violent coup to stay in power should be given one billion dollars to turn the White House into an impenetrable fortress

Good news: I’ve figured out how the next Dem president can do student debt relief.

I don’t think the vibe coding is working

Unanimous verdict from the jury: All three claims brought by Musk are barred by statute of limitations. Elon Musk loses.

I’m guessing the members of the anti-weaponization fund are going to spend lavishly at Trump’s various clubs

Sir, you already do. You spend every evening watching Fox News

Not NYT, so these might be actual voters and not GOP plants

Trump’s second term is all about being fairly blamed for things that Presidents are usually unfairly blamed for.

Isn’t one of the selling points of AI that you can use it to make your own art? Why doesn’t Elon just ask Grok to make an Odyssey movie with the whitest Helen imaginable?

Good news: I’ve figured out how the next Dem president can do student debt relief.

Fed up with inflation, America elected Robert E. Lee as president. Lee moved quickly to send taxpayer money to Confederate soldiers victimized by Lincoln’s weaponization of the union.

The absolute gall to complain about an “unreasoned order”

John Roberts must sit and wonder what could’ve been if Trump had just returned those boxes of classified documents and sailed off into the sunset. Roberts could’ve completed his conservative legal project, entrenched control over SCOTUS, and gutted the VRA, all outside the glare of Trump II.

Reminder that Florida voters passed a Constitutional amendment in 2010 banning gerrymandering with 62% of the vote and the Florida GOP just stole the courts and ignored it. By contrast retaliatory gerrymanders in CA and VA passed with the approval of voters. Yet media portrays them as equivalent.

Credit cardmaxxing

First grader: “Why are there so many liquor stores?”

I am sympathetic to fears about what court expansion would lead to, but the alternative is simply intolerable: Dems having to over-perform electorally just for the chance to see their policies and legislation subject to an arbitrary veto from a self-perpetuating conservative SCOTUS majority.

No it’s not because words have meaning!

Please keep your voice down so as not to disturb the debt/deficit hawks who are slumbering until the next Dem administration

Who’s going to fund the Daily Wire, Ben? Aquaman?

Dems should (1) Pass a new VRA, (2) add a provision stripping SCOTUS of jurisdiction to invalidate it, and (3) require all VRA claims to be brought in DC and strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction.

I think Trump learned his lesson, will have better advisors, and will be checked by the other branches. No I won’t bother to look up why Mike Pence isn’t his VP this time.

Spoiler alert: 11 of these 12 Trump Voters vote for the the GOP nominee in 2028 because they feel he will learn from Trump’s mistakes and just focus on fixing things. One person doesn’t vote after getting purged from the voter roll by Republicans.

Cesar Sayoc, a Trump super fan & obsessive Fox viewer, sent pipe bombs in 2018 to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, & many other top Dems. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. In the wake of the attacks, Trump said about his rhetoric: "Tone down, no. Could tone up."

Real independent thinks uh <checks notes> attend the White House Correspondents Dinner (but not really, I was just on assignment at a different event at the same place)

The writers have written themselves into a corner insofar as it is now painfully obvious that It has to Happen at the inaugural WH Ballroom event. Lazy.

I don’t think the political party that’s spent 30 years telling us ‘actually everyone should have guns, no restrictions ’ should try and pin the blame for political violence on the party that’s been saying ‘more guns is bad and we should have some common sense limits’ for 30 years.

So exactly how many books can be published about the same event?

Another pattern of Trump is that he will eventually throw any supporter under the bus. There may come a time when the Iran affair is concluded and Trump is sulking about the damage to his political standing. Pro-Israel supporters should be worried that Trump is going to blame Israel for all of it.

“Eww, you got more than 5% of the vote? How cringe.”

I want a Dem party led by politicians whose political instincts and traumas were formed in the Obama and Trump years, not the Reagan and Clinton years. Politicians who try to fix the country that exists now, not long for an America that isn’t coming back.

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.
