Majorie Taylor Greene started this slap fight with Trump to justify quitting before her term ends, which was likely her plan all along... stay 5 years to get income for life, then bounce & become a lobbyist or a pundit making millions. The people lauding her as a hero are fuckin' idiots.

“I really believe that if I didn’t have [my] birth certificate, I would be somewhere in a facility,” one resident said, recalling that one of the armed federal agents who stopped him on the street aggressively asked if he was from Ethiopia or Ghana. With @mlk50.com

Through every shutdown in history, the government has still provided economic data to the American people. They aren’t doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

"my least woke opinion is---" That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania. Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

"We comply with the laws our representatives set as that is the basis of a safe & orderly society. Scandals distract from results that democracy is supposed to produce. Criminality of leaders undermines the bargain we all agreed to. It calls into question their ability to set laws that govern us" .

Rep. Jamie Raskin says the quiet part out loud: Epstein’s own emails show Trump “knew about the girls,” yet the Trump-led DOJ somehow released everything except anything involving Trump. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

That’s the through line: preparation, defiance, and readiness. Mamdani isn’t waiting for Trump to target New York—he’s already studying the playbook, building alliances, and learning from leaders who’ve weathered Trump’s attacks before. He’s getting ready for the fight ahead.

In his victory speech, Mamdani delivered a message that now frames his early agenda: “If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him.”

Zohran Mamdani hasn’t even taken office yet, but NYC’s mayor-elect is already preparing for a direct showdown with President Donald Trump—and he’s building a coalition to do it. 🧵 www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

I'm starting to think that what news consumers think is newsworthy and what reporters think is newsworthy is very different and not in a way that reflects well on reporters.

worster case: he killed for it worstershire case: Trump is the Central Park Five and the victim is a former Epstein Girl

Um, yeah, no. Worst case: he knew about it, funded it, bought a pageant to funnel underage girls to it, lied about it, extorted world officials with it and profited off it. Then used taxpayer money to cover it ask up and bribe officials.

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it. Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators. Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

Why the fuck is this framed as “teenager chose to prostitute herself and ruined the career of innocent congressman”

Epstein’s own words, that Trump “knew about the girls,” speak for themselves.   Trump has directed his Republican allies to cover up the Epstein files because they expose him.     If he's done nothing wrong, then prove it. We have the votes. Now release the files.

They don’t want bipartisanship with THESE Republicans. Which is an important distinction. They want a reasonable Republican Party and are fully aware this one isn’t.

If median home prices had equally tracked median household income since 1980, a $400,000 home today would actually be selling for less than $100,000.00 That's what we need to have happen. Lowering prices has the same effect as increasing wages, but without the inflationary harm.

The media's war on Al Gore makes this seem less like innocent stupidity. But it does fit the pattern of wanting to have their say, without letting nerds shut them down by telling them the truth.

It is an artifact of teaching people to bullshit and esteeming those who do it well.

Everything Is Debate Club.

this is exactly right. it makes sense that you would focus endlessly on discourse when you don’t actually *know* anything about the world.

you can't not be annoyed by people. i am annoyed by people all the time. i try not to make this my intellectual north star

legitimately i think one of the core failings of centrist pundits is that they have come to define themselves by what they are against--to chart their intellectual course by who they think is being annoying this week--instead of by recourse to genuine principle

this whole paragraph is an exercise in the pose of knowingness, and illustration of how making being "more reasonable than the extremists" the whole core of your intellect leads inexorably to believing in nothing at all

i think it's a strange attractor for people who don't actually know anything. like the theme running through all this is not having to know anything of substance about the subject--not having to take and defend a position about what's actually true--and instead it's all just meta-discourse critique

a concept i talk about a lot with the guy i'm seeing is "fast thinking", which is like low-grade, shallow, and easily disposable pop intellectualism. key hallmarks include focusing on discourse over substance, not being able to separate similar form from different content, and "annoying = evil"

What Democrats want: a plaque in the U.S. Capitol to honor the January 6 officers. What Republican senators want: a personal payout of millions of dollars because they were investigated for involvement in January 6.

“We might not have used Epstein information against Trump, but we did use it against one of MAGAs biggest targets Bill Gates” Is not the argument they think it is. In fact, that gave a lot of extra cover to Trump and was the exact thing MAGA used to claim it was their enemies involved.

There’s not enough champagne in America for all the celebrations

Somebody who describes herself as empowering women while acting reverential & accepting of authoritarian, abusive, psychopathic male narcissists has something wrong with their psyche. I always despised her phoniness, & twisted views. Now I’m convinced that Megyn Kelly has psychological problems.
