swing voters are real, here to stay, and gigantic morons

You mean like Joe Biden?

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.

I mean....

I will keep saying this. If you bought a calculator and it EVEN ONCE told you 2+2=5, you’d throw it out and demand a refund. If you had an employee who lied confidently to you, and was easily caught, you’d fire them. LLMs are the untrustworthy calculator and the confident liar. Fire them.

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release. AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

Grim called me “insane” for saying Democrats shouldn’t recruit candidates with Nazi tattoos and now that I see who he takes seriously, that take makes a lot of sense

Teacher: and then Hitler and the Nazis were able to seize power away from the Weimar Republic Student: man, the Weimar government sucked Teacher: well some scholars do say their failures opened a door for Hitler, but-- Student: feckless Weimar, they're the real bad guys, I'm glad they lost

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

Swastikas and nooses aren’t “potentially divisive.” They’re hate symbols — and they don’t belong anywhere near our military. The Coast Guard deserves better.

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

The GOP has been extremely effective at shaping perceptions of the Democrats, claiming they support policy positions they don't actually support If your strategy, as a Dem, for winning in 2028 *STARTS* by buying their spin and lies, then you've already lost www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-strate...

This is just "run a Blue Dog/Third Way white male" and if this was 1992 they might have a point.

Tommy Vietor: Are you a secret Nazi? Platner: I am not a secret Nazi More hard hitting journalism from Pod Save America!

this also drives me insane, this idea that it is the most normal thing in the world for a young (white) man to have a nazi curious phase. it isn’t!

Mayor Michelle Wu at the protest today: “What scares them about Boston is that we are the America they say is impossible.”

I've been thinking about this: Somebody spent a lot of money to make Graham Platner happen. It's weird that someone would invest so much money in him without doing the most basic oppo research, isn't it? Unless they never actually meant for him to win.

THE DNC AND ITS OFFICERS DO NOT ENDORSE IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS —PERIOD! THE DNC IS NOT FOR— OR— AGAINST YOUR FAVORITE CANDIDATE. WE SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES CHOSEN BY VOTERS. WE FOCUS ONLY ON BEATING REPUBLICANS SO GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

During the campaign she was criticized for focusing so heavily on preventing fascism instead of on "kitchen table issues." Now that Dems are literally focusing on kitchen table issues (ie, healthcare/inflation etc), they're being criticized for "not focusing on preventing fascism."

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025. Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan. Legacy media failed the country.

And to think, Comey handed Trump the Presidency over Hillary.

He's a groyper you can say it

One teen is dead after a student fired on schoolmates at Evergreen High School in Colorado, injuring two before shooting himself

The people who cover politics cover the sport of politics as distinct from government. To them a very successful political influencer *is* more important than a state legislator. They’ve heard of him before. (Because this is bluesky so it helps to be explicit — this is bad)

once you notice that people simply do not believe that republicans have agency or any responsibility for the actions they take, you see it everywhere

If you see this, post a vampire.

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

--Notes that David has spent the past 2 weeks going on a bunch of TV shows not to talk about that but to talk about...David. (ouch) --Reforming the Democratic Party does NOT mean spending every day on TV shows/podcasts saying "Democrats suck." (ouch)

NBA broadcast talks about the Knicks like the Celtics are three grades ahead of their 12 year old kid who is doing soooo good to only be down 11.

Trump is a terrifying fascist who is likely to destroy our country. That’s why I spent most of my time criticizing Democrats.

If the constitution is still in operation, Trump's executive order abolishing the Department of Education is just a suggestion. If Trump can abolish the Department of Education with an executive order, then the constitution is just a suggestion.

Don't trust "AI" and also realize that the push to have "AI" in everything happened because some tech people wanted to get rich and other tech people didn't want others to get rich without them, and now they've all spent too much money on a bad product and are trying to scramble out of the hole.

Hey democrats, you know ‘democratic messaging’ doesn’t just include politicians, right? If you are constantly bashing democrats then the message YOU are sending is that democrats are bad.

Girl...go fuck yourself. You voted for an adjuticated rapist that bragged about grabbing pussies whenever he wants.

Whatever you think about what he’s saying I think we can all agree it would be nice if this guy just went away and never came back

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

DEMOCRATS: Don’t touch the hot stove VOTERS: (touch hot stove) AAAAAH! DEMOCRATS: WE TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT VOTERS: You’ll never get anywhere if you insist on blaming the voters

Who could have predicted that a convicted felon would act this way.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

My name was on this list, and I sure as hell voted. In person, with ID. If you're in NC, check this list to make sure your ballot isn't being challenged.

Seriously, FUCK every single person who couldn't be bothered to show up to vote for Harris and every other Democrat.

Notre Dame just bullying Ohio State

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

Eagles are like
