So she's a Bernie Sanders Democrat, a faction which has been around now for more than a decade. She's young and her opponent had been around too long. That's life. Can everyone please stop the handwringing?

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

The USDA booth is selling $47 Trump hats

He's not wrong.

Karma is a boomerang. JD gotta watch out. Like the Pope needs to be taught…. Wut?

Rep. Angles Ogles on his "Anchors Away" bill: "If you're pregnant and you're from a foreign nation, you know what? It's time for Congress to pass a law saying you can't come here."

I always thought they wanted the 50s back but I got the century wrong.

The thing you need to understand is that there are 2 (TWO) different method for amending the constitution 1) The process laid out in the constititon itself (conventions, or 2/3's of both houses followed by 3/4 of states ratifying) OR 2) find five votes on the Supreme Court.

Vance has Trump Big Mouth disease. He has to articulate every passing thought. It's bad with Trump, but a lot of people think he's kidding or just trolling. I don't think Vance gets that benefit of the doubt

people got mad at me yesterday when i said the dems were not ready to take court reform seriously. 5-4 for non-racial citizenship is not a win, it's a reprieve bsky.app/profile/schu...

And where is the left wing Hoover Institution, the left wing Heritage Foundation/AEI/Manhattan Institute, the left wing New York Post, the left wing Bohemian Club?

PLEASE STOP DESCRIBING BIRTHRIGHT AS 6-3, I AM GOING TO GO INSANE

Do people like Davis and Matt Walsh really not understand that SCOTUS merely preserved the status quo, upholding a precedent from 1898? Or do they just assume that the rubes who read them don't know that? I assume it's the latter - they're not all as ignorant as Trump, right? But I can't tell.

Every exhibit hall seems sadder than the last. It’s a desultory celebration of America, highlighting only those parts of America that Trump personally likes, and vice versa. The booths are all shabby, as if they were thrown together as an afterthought.

Yeah, the same D politicians worrying about progressive candidates not reflecting their values are celebrating “birthright citizenship is the law of the land!” today, and that’s a bonkers takeaway. The takeaway is that we’re 1-2 appointments away from overturning the reconstruction amendments.

The fact that he started his career as a partisan GOP operative was a good clue. But then, he's not the first, notably Rhenquist who stared off as a poll watcher in Arizona suppressing the Latino vote. It's tradition!

The three branches of the United States government, as delineated in the Constitution, are the God Emperor, The High Council of the Six Ayatollahs, and the Federal Reserve

He keeps saying this and I guess nobody is ever going to explain to him how insurance works? This is maddening. This man is a doctor/afternoon talk show host. He's in charge of Medicare and Medicaid and he is eithe completely clueless or more than willing to appear to be so.

Watching Trump speak these days is literally painful. He's so reprehensible, so disgusting that I honestly can't stand to do it anymore. I have to put the closed captions on. He's reptilian, almost alien, like something out of science ficiton.

Nobody celebrated the 125th. It's not a thing. But if he's just pulling out random years why didn't he pick the 2010th so he could name check Reagan? BTW, We did celebrate the 100th and it was epic. Grant was president. Coolidge was president at 150th. Both featured massive World's Fairs.

The media is more insufferable than usual about this alleged socialist takeover of the Democrats because DSA unseated a couple of incumbents. "Are you too extreme???" It's predictable so I really don't get why Dems don't just say what Jeffries said," are you kidding? Donald Trump is president!"

Latest example of how imo the 6th Republican vote has so warped and loosened the majority’s incentives to pretend to care about even the appearance of good argument, much less the myth of the institution’s grandeur, anymore. Yadda yadda yadda, mask-drop, we win, next case. What a tawdry spectacle

Michael Cembalest is out with his annual energy report for JP Morgan and it's full of fascinating stuff, but this graph jumps out: Trump is succeeding in stifling America's clean energy boom. Absolutely ceding the field to China.

Compare & Contrast with “The Great America State Fair” this weekend

So just to be clear, it's war when the markets close for the week, every week, and peace when the markets re-open. And we're just going to pretend that's not happening, apparently. bsky.app/profile/wsj....

My number one requirement for Dems: do they know who the real enemy is.

Trump in the middle of a book-length unhinged screed: “The criminally made algae is gone”

Strained???

A single, delicious tear rolls down Rod Dreher's cheek. 🏳️‍🌈

Niedermeyer misses the point, as usual.

The entire fuckin point of the national mall is loitering

Ossoff: "Illegal tariffs, failed war, healthcare cuts, and unmatched corruption. 34% approval and a presidential legacy cemented in disgrace."

It is core to the nature of reactionary politics that its adherents *always* conceive of themselves as aggrieved victims, no matter how much power they amass. It's a permission structure for their own lawlessness & violence.

Trump ripped up the walkway between the West Wing and the mansion to replace it with polished African granite carved in Italy. "Paid for by me," he claimed. Except that's not true. Taxpayers paid $689,232, per documents obtained by @michaelscherer.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is awful. But so predictable.

Mike Johnson: "If we were to lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats…will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body and they will go after the president's family…Half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. I'll take care of you."

Spinal Tap redux.

Spinal Tap redux.

i...what???

Mask off, hood on

This mail-in voting opinion appears to have stopped this crackpot USPS Executive order. Will the Supremes take it up on the emergency docket?

This is at least the fourth time I've heard this in my lifetime. Generational change freaks the older generation out. Witness James Carville, a man who made his bones on a campaign of generational change that freaked out the party elders. A little self-awareness please. I'm so tired of re-runs.

Hakeem Jeffries as Joe Kernen badgers him to "reject" the winners of Democratic primaries in NYC: "Donald Trump is the president right now. Are you kidding me?"

Love to catch up with my buddy, the heir to an international manufacturing conglomerate, during my meetings with foreign diplomats.

"No one gives a shit about housing." Only ballrooms.

The president of the US, sharing his deranged fantasies.

Mamdani won big but much less attention on how he looked for objects of opportunity and sat out contests where the DSA brand wasn't going to fly. That's not a criticism; it's part of being a smart pol. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-few...

So let's get rid of all good things?

FFS. She voted for Alito, Roberts and Gorsuch too.
