this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam

This is a jumbled, word salad answer that means nothing. It is part of the reason why Jefferies is so bad at his job. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

I can’t believe our elites are going to force me to know who this person is for the next 20 to 40 years.

Maybe this sounds naive, but this is a shocking degree of open racism. Like a standard deviation above what we were previously dealing with (which was not the best).

this is exactly what's happening

No shit

Go Birds, fuck ICE

Part of the problem is the Thiel-types have an incomprehensible amount of hubris—they literally think they’re an expert on anything & everything, despite knowing minimally about it. &, of course, they’re the ones who *actually* live in a bubble surrounded by yes-men.

No. No No. NO NO NO NO.

A fantastic, insightful piece on something that I’ve thought a lot about in our era of politics: why are there no penalties for openly lying or displaying enormous hypocrisy? Thanks @eric-reinhart.com

These women are fuckin awesome. Honestly, the DNC should hire them to vet congressional candidates. Immediate subscribe. @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

I read Caleb Nelson's piece on the removal power and I was taken with a reference he makes in the conclusion.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you. And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it. This is not about politics. It's about people. Let’s break it down:

Kristi Noem's goons raided a car wash in August and shattered a guy's leg. They then held him in custody under 24/7 supervision in a California hospital, hiding him using various fake names. They interrogated him but did not charge him. It took a judge's order to make ICE let him go. What?

Their slogan hasn’t been “Arby’s: we have the files” for nothing, to be fair

My official position regarding tonight’s baseball game.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

I haven’t had my jaw hit the floor like this since reading Das Kapital. Patrick Cosmos, a true public intellectual

Yup. 👇

He thinks he should have gotten the Pulitzer Prize, & the biggest revelation was that Biden’s campaign politely asked Twitter to take down posts from conservative accounts sharing pictures Hunter Biden’s penis

Ths is just all Republicans now. They interact with bots they pay for, go to retreats where everyone claps and cheers at their dumb ideas, talk shows where they just blow smoke up their ass. it colors so much of their thinking like they really thought thought trump would be greeted as a liberator

Can’t we furlough the fuckin Nazi running this account

David Cross folks.

This is how you know Rodger has put it on his hit list to start the year. They were so ready to run that segment after complaining about it.

I have always believed ‘ole Kevvy P had that in him.

Why are the richest people always so stupid? The billionaire mind virus is a real problem.

I won't say to be complacent, but I will say not to be scared because being afraid of these fucking people is beneath you. Yes, even you, internet rando who I strongly dislike.

One of the big asymmetries in US politics is how Republicans getting more votes from men is a major crisis for the Democratic party that must be addressed, perhaps by abandoning some values, while Democrats getting more votes from women is a nonissue for the Republican Party, not worth discussing.

I love this person.

once again trump’s great political asset is that voters literally do not believe anything he says

It’s a simple thing, but I am proud he said this so clearly. Because it is.

is this bad?

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening. It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

“A democratic society needs people in Ezra Klein’s position to treat Charlie Kirk’s anti-democracy stances as disqualifying, rather than pretend they’re just another policy opinion…” @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social w/an excellent critique of Kirk hagiography www.arcdigital.media/p/ezra-klein...

Obama on Charlie Kirk:

The president is boasting about how he has shut down boating and fishing in the Caribbean because everyone is afraid that he’ll murder them.
