“straight up giving the president a bar of gold” is where we’re at now on the “corruption isn’t real” scale good work, John Roberts

Wife: It is interesting that the biggest papers and networks burned decades of hard work by others who built up their brands to bend over immediately for Donald Trump because they thought he would be a successful dictator and 10 months in he's flailing. Those people have the worst business instincts

The mandatory HR meeting where they talk about not being an asshole at work was my generations’ Vietnam.

can’t really express the level of contempt i have for what is just a form of solipsism. “the things that annoy me are the only things that exist and also the worst things imaginable”

Exactly! If Democrats need to focus on affordability, just ... focus on affordability. Don't constantly give lectures about how other people with the exact same job as you need to do it differently.

I listened to the Megyn Kelly clip and my takeaway is that she should change her name to Megyn R Kelly

They’re calling Megyn Kelly “Megyn R. Kelly" now.

"sexual harassment is objectively bad when it happens to me and An Extremely Complicated Topic With Many Sides when it happens to someone else" hey quick question are you available to go walk off a pier

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

febrile seizures build character!!

Me, watching as children's motrin magically lowers Littler Girl's fever from 104.x down to 100.x, easing her very obvious discomfort and allowing her to get the sleep she desperately needs: "I don't think this is doing anything and maybe it's dangerous. Probably better for her to burn up?"

Donald Trump visited Jeffrey Epstein’s house for the articles.

Every single time! Epstein will write: "porsecters h4arrsed me w/ sbuopenas al bcuase tr4ificing myners .due porcess much???no" and then there's, like, the former president of a university or white house counsel or something replying: "You're totally right, and also I love you with all my heart."

All the end of the year award shows coming up, so I ask.. Do we have a celebrity with the courage to wear this design as a dress on a red carpet somewhere? Maybe get multiple designers competing to see who can do it best & turn it into a reality show for our reality show POTUS.

You should know the context as well as the source of any quotes you use when trying to make a point.

This isn’t a popular position on this site, but I don’t think voting for or against the filibuster for the Dem Senators was an easy vote or that it’s clear what they should have done. People are losing SNAP benefits right now that they need for basic nutrition and it looks like SCOTUS is oking it.

But he did.

I’ve been trying to say this for a while, but I feel like no one is really listening to me who’s obsessively focused on the “groyper problem” at the expense of everything else. The issue with unhinged far-right streamers goes beyond Fuentes and the groypers. Things have been cooked for years.

The modern conservative movement is more opposed to America’s WW2 actions than they are to literal Hitler

one thing i find crazy-making is the idea that getting rid of the filibuster would make congress a purely majoritarian institution. bicameralism itself is counter-majoritarian! equal state representation is counter-majoritarian! the fact that senate elections are staggered is counter-majoritarian!

And Jesus said, thou shall not feed the poor and the hungry from your bounty because you must build ballrooms with lots of gold to honor the Lord while remaining liquid in case Argentina needs another bailout. - Book of Trump, 11:06. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

finance guys on twitter are like "can't believe zohran hired lina khan. she wants to make it illegal to bundle memecoin futures into junk stocks and sell them to public worker pension plans. the public won't stand for it."

This could have something to do with Trump making the economy worse

from experience you're gonna want the "free market" guys to put that sort of thing in writing

We must note that all the condemnation of Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes has been about anti-Semitism and there has been an alarming and revealing silence around his anti-Black racism and white supremacy. When the head of the Heritage Foundation apologized, he only cited anti-Semitism.

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights. And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports. People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi forever changed history. 💙 The first woman (and only one) to hold the gavel—she led with unmatched courage, brilliance, and grace. She paved the way for leaders like Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and AOC. Our nation thanks you, Madam Speaker. 🙏 #ThankYouNancy

#ProudBlue #Pinks #RU Moms For Liberty suffered a humiliating defeat, losing all 31 of the races in which the hate group ran candidates!i They are 0-59 in contested school board races since 2023. We the people don’t support their hate targeting the LGBTQIA community. Great to see hate lose. 🌈

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

I'm hard-pressed to think of a non-Jewish Democratic politician who has spoken to Jews with more respect and empathy than Mamdani. The fact that many Jewish establishment orgs are going after him while staying relatively mum on resurgent Nazism is a disaster, both for American Jews and in general.

NYT: 97 Minutes After Winning Race for Mayor, Mamdani Yet to Visit Israel

see, the thing is, we just had a vote on this literally yesterday your guy lost, you don't get to decide anymore

(taken from a Reddit comment) If the sandwich does not fit, you mustard acquit

I hope they get sandwiches. 🥪

How can someone spin a double-digit electoral victory as "they didn't find what the party was grasping for"? That is what all parties grasp for.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

why is this mayoral election different than all other mayoral elections? in all other mayoral elections, we get to see andrew cuomo lose but once. but in this mayoral elections, we get to see him lose *twice*.

The only explanation I can imagine for the entirety of Cuomo’s campaign is that he has some kind of humiliation fetish. If true, I want to congratulate him on what I assume will be an epic nut tonight

All you anti Muslim bigots who spread nothing but the most vile hate against Mamdani, I'm here for your meltdowns and tantrums. I'm all the way petty. Your tears are sugar for my chai.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

turning on the CNN coverage of the NY election with a wide, placid smile on my face

Shapiro and Weiss seriously thought they could fan the flames of reactionary politics and it would spare them. Did they think they could spew racist and transphobic bigotry and it not end up growing into a monster that eventually came for them too? They made this bed for all of us.

You laugh, but this is how the exododus went extinct

this is a thousand percent more anti semitic than anything I've ever heard Mamdani or his supporters say

You basically never see "how will they pay for it?" articles about any conservative politician, even GOP presidents, but a left-leaning mayoral candidate in one city gets wall-to-wall critical policy coverage?

The American public has never warmed up to the Citizens United decision, and Montanans have proposed a ballot measure to curb the consequences of the ruling without seeking the impossibility of overturning it. From Harold Meyerson: trib.al/2RC8Pbp
