There was a time not very long ago where someone writing a piece like this would be forced to issue a public apology at the very least. What the actual fuck man.

Watching RFK jr run away from someone collapsing feels like a harbinger of things to come

Text from a friend:

I don't think this "response" will change her mind.

She should have a ticker of all the stories he says he doesn’t know, and a counter of days he has not seated Grijalva.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Worth listening to the whole clip.

My first thought: Well, at least there's a doctor right there. My second thought: Unfortunately, it's Dr. Oz.

"Hey, man, what message should we push today as we deliberately deny millions of Americans their food benefits?"

Douthat is a slimy creep, particularly on the subject of women, as he’s shown for a long time now. NYT editors are showing their asses when they publish and promote his “just asking questions” retrograde misogyny year after year.

Increase in youth literacy to celebrate!

Women should have jobs, but Ross Douthat shouldn’t.

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”

US History was my favorite subject growing up. Binging this Netflix miniseries released today on Pres. James Garfield, and his oft-forgotten fate. Considered one of the smartest to hold the Presidency position; a shame we never got to see his capabilities in a full term and beyond.

This is what a New Era looks like.

"Mamdani is not a warning shot; he is a sign of things to come. Dem voters everywhere want transformative change. They’re furious at party’s leaders and suspicious of candidates backed by an establishment that gets everything wrong," writes @alexshephard.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/2027...

Besides writers @dahlialithwick.bsky.social, @mjsdc.bsky.social, Fred Kaplan, and a host of others, pieces like this are why I support @slate.com. @jesspish.bsky.social knocks it out of the park on this compelling story. Also helps explain the maga cult/cults in general. slate.com/news-and-pol...

WAR ON THANKSGIVING

Trump reportedly demanded that the DOJ pay him for past criminal cases brought against him. Reminder that the DOJ doesn't have to make a public announcement, meaning they could pay Trump $230 million in complete secrecy. That's unprecedented, unethical and unacceptable.

Our analysis of EPA air monitoring data shows that companies have far underestimated the pollution caused by their facilities. At a U.S. Steel plant outside Pittsburgh, monitors found benzene levels 37 times higher than estimated emissions. @lisalsong.bsky.social, 📸: @annie-flanagan.bsky.social

Grocery bills are rising and premiums are doubling as Trump gilds his office in gold and bulldozes the East Wing for a fancy ballroom—and Republican lawmakers are doing NOTHING.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

huh it doesn't seem like it's necessary to run away from supporting marginalized people in order to win at all, it almost seems like it helps you win the support of a polity that hates our supremacist government we might just have to beat bigots without seeking the approval of bigots

I stand in strong solidarity with workers at Caesars Horseshoe casino in Indianapolis who are on strike against corporate greed. If Caesars can afford to pay its CEO $18 million and spend $50 million on stock buybacks, it can afford to treat all of its workers with respect.

This government is beyond incompetent. Now the reality TV star turned DEI hire @secduffy.bsky.social is going to have to close airspace. Talk about a grossly incompetent leader. But then again that’s what happens when you hire the Real World twat.

If you are thinking of running for office, think harder! Make a bold move. We need new faces. If you are thinking of primarying an ineffective, corrupted incumbent DO IT! Let’s GOOOO!

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night. He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

I just read the entire report from the House GOP about the autopen scandal and meanwhile this criminal motherfucker is saying he literally has no idea who he has pardoned.

No fucking kidding.

Extra incentive for NYCers to push Mamdani past 50%

We are being ruled by absolute losers
