We're really doing a secret plan to fight inflation?

Enthusaistic for what exactly

Everybody involved will need to go to prison and if democrats in congress don’t have the stomach for punishing these people they should just resign now.

so many people thought they were taking the temperature of America when they were actually marinating their brain in an artificially constructed fake reality on their phones

Good old Woz. Good for him.

every year someone does a study that’s like “we gave 100 homeless ppl money and their lives improved” and every year the government kills that guy

man, if there were more than one popular, charismatic democrat we'd be all set

i don't think your loan is getting approved

it's good to join together to go "lmaooooo" sometimes actually

I’m gonna implore everyone here to take the W if only to experience the feeling again.

Remember: the only way to save New York City from Donald Trump’s wrath is electing Andrew Cuomo.

Trump genuinely liking Mamdani is the most predictable outcome.

I've long maintained that the Democratic party tolerates criticism of Israel as long as it doesn't trip into anti-semitism. The Republican party tolerates anti-semitism as long as it doesn't trip into criticism of Israel. And here we are.

In a blow to prospective Maine senate candidates everywhere...

I know we all knew the "dems go rogue" narrative on ending the shutdown was BS, but still it feels like there should be a bit more scandal around how we've gone from "Schumer knew nothing, these dems acted on their own" to "Schumer blessed the deal and negotiated for its most unpopular provision."

This Trans Day of Remembrance, my heart hurts thinking of all the people we couldn't carry through to the other side of this moment in history. Amidst all the fighting we've done for our community, amidst the unshakeable belief that we will win in the end, grief still takes hold.

As the Senate tries to defend a million dollar payday to 8 of their own - and as the House GOP tries to explain why they refused to amend the CR to strip it out, let's review exactly what it is they want restitution for. Brief thread:

LET'S FUCKING GO

My closet is running out of space for all these new t-shirts

An executive order to ban state AI laws WOULD BE *FLAGRANTLY* UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Can we please please PLEASE lead w THAT! Stop just laundering patently illegal and unconstitutional moves as if they’re just normal policy moves. It’s not hard to frame this correctly!

I was reminded earlier today about when Kevin Garnett talked about Hakeem Olajuwon's trash talk, and it improved my day considerably. I share it now with you, in hopes that it will improve yours.

EOs cannot overturn state or federal laws. EOs cannot overturn state or federal laws. EOs cannot overturn state or federal laws. EOs cannot overturn state or federal laws. EOs cannot overturn state or federal laws. EOs cannot overturn state or federal laws. EOs cannot overturn state or fede

And I’m planning on preempting Hochul’s next rollback of bail reform by scrawling “nuh-uh, no you don’t!” on a used McDonald’s napkin. I have just as much authority to do that as Trump does, and the napkin would be just as legally binding. Stop describing EOs like Magic Regal Decrees.

It always amazes me the amount of anti-Trump republicans (and centrist dems) who, regardless of what party they identify with now can be very clear eyed and say things are uniquely and historically bad I must speak out. And then in the next breath refuse to reconsider a single worldview.

Literally both-sidesing Nazis.

I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

it is frankly a *scathing* indictment of the White House press corps

Lmao what a rag

There is no easier ethical test in the world than "should MBS's money buy him international respect."

conceding to far right ideas about the structure of society is conceding to a zero sum vision of the world, and more importantly giving voters a choice between two zero sum visions, where one is half hearted and the other is full throated. is it really a surprise then they choose the latter?

not to sound like a goldwaterite, but voters want a choice and not an echo.

i’m just a humble “woke” lib but it seems to me that this is a conclusion you could have picked up by skimming a quick history of 20th century american politics

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance

to be clear, i also do not think it is necessarily true that adopting a laundry list of progressive positions is an instant win either. i think you have to do the work of discovering what it is that voters want in a direct and engaged way. and i think that voters want moral leadership.

In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning." I chose Larry Summers. Better late than never. Unlocked version of my 16-year-old article below. naomiklein.org/why-we-shoul...

woke 2 sends its regards

this would have been a month-long scandal in 2011

At least people have stopped asking when Trump will pivot, when he is clearly getting worse. people.com/donald-trump...

This is exactly the type of stuff we should want representatives in purple districts to break from party orthodoxy on www.politico.com/live-updates...

I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott

"She does not own a car." In a way, this is actually quite funny, but mostly, the people who write this stuff would go apoplectic if anyone judged their life the way they judged other people's.

We are not doing this

* @daveweigel.bsky.social voice * Folks...

Mamdani is a child of privilege therefore his socialism is cosplay designed to rile up downwardly mobile youngsters into stealing money from job creators. Wilson is poor and her socialism is just a way to get job creators to pay for her expenses.

Draymond really going with the "you have to understand it's because I'm sexist" defense.

I think what may bother me the most about Draymond is how fake tough he is. He is so soft and such a crybaby but wants to be seen as so big and bad. We all know or knew someone like that and it's just embarrassing that so much of the league likes him so he largely gets away with it.

I'm a huge believer that fans need to treat players better. If what the fan said is true though it falls way short of inappropriate and a player with a violent history stepping off the court to threaten a fan for heckling is insane. He should be suspended for the season if this is true.

Hey @apnews.com this is a blatant lie. Trump has been accused publicly, at least twice, of sexual assault in connection with Jeffrey Epstein.

I feel like you could do worse for a political message than “they’re stealing your money so they can buy your teenage daughter”
