Another comment from a former media associate who turned Kupchella down:

Some of you know me as an OG media reporter, but Brian Lambert, who I don’t think is on here, taught me. He had some great thoughts about Kupchella’s landlord ad & “journalism.” Sorry for no alt-text; these excerpts are too long. If you need alt please message me & I’ll shoot you an email or text.

Rep. Dean is a Democratic House member from PA. This level of pointed, direct, personal confrontation should be routine. If media outlets don't do it anymore, the opposition party are really the only people left who have the physical proximity to do it.

"We are an authoritarian country with an autocratic leader who is acting in the ways that the heads of police states act. That's where we are. To suggest it's around the corner is to be as divorced from reality as a president who thinks there's a war going on in Portland." @djrothkopf.bsky.social

Extreme privilege rots and Trump and his progeny are a living, perfect example. Watching this lump of a person “succeed” because his family had wealth and everything was rigged in his favor, to the point he became president and millions want him as dictator is so nauseating I can barely stand it.

Like, you’re a wannabe dictator, you have the top military brass there, you need them to war against the citizens, and you just show up and ramble and do all your normal bullshit. He can’t be bothered to read briefings or study or do anything. Truly one of the worst people this country’s produced.

Just reflecting on the military addresses today and I just can’t shake this weird, disturbing thing. Trump wants to be a dictator. We know it, we see it, but he can’t even show up to something like this and be serious or focused. We’re all endangered by the laziest and most entitled asshole alive.

"It's a big tent, & you're not in it" —Centrist Democrats

The president just told all of the military's leaders that all Democrats are evil and promised to send the full force of the military into Democratic cities to assault the "enemy within," and there's *still* a chance that Democratic congressmen provide the crucial votes to keep this regime running.

basically everything about this is wrong and horrifying but I'm stuck on the absolute fucking chutzpah you'd need to lecture professional military personnel like this after you personally texted wildly classified war plans to the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic

I'm sure all the 2Aers and Gadsden Flag wavers will be mobilizing against the thing that is happening that they said was their raison d'etre. I'm sure they will any day now. Yep, any day now.

The revolution won’t be televised but the treason sure is

I’m sure Chuck Schumer sincerely hopes some Republicans will join him in writing a strongly worded letter against Trump declaring war on San Francisco.

Say, has our general met the enemy?

The Joe Ingles era of the Wolves is still going. Blessed.

President Trump, who has always made things up, seeks to cut off the flow of accurate information at its source. The U.S. has long been one of the best sources of data on earth. All that is halted under Trump, who doesn’t want any facts to get in the way of his made-up stories. trib.al/iCEGkbH

🧵The Trump regime knows that they are destroying the economy. They will never admit this in public, but they do in private. Treasury secretary Scott Bessent was photographed reading a text from AgSec Brooke Rollins saying that Trump's tariffs made China shift soybean purchases to Argentina.

My cure to the male loneliness epidemic is to take away every boy’s phone and young man’s phone, then force them to get together to play Goldeneye and Mario Party in a basement for hours on end. Bingo bango, problem solved.

Yes! Alan is an absolute gem! His one-man radio calls are full of description and information, handling both play-by-play and color at the same time like Hendrix playing rhythm and lead.

So what is the worth of lives whose humanity is in legal limbo when a sniper shoots them in this country?

it's just a fact. you can't have a global hegemon who every few years is at risk of electing a lunatic government that will undo treaties, start murdering people in international waters on a whim, stop aid programs, and slap wanton tariffs on the world capriciously. we have no credibility anymore

"This is a big fucking deal. Even as Trump prepares to shut down government, even as American consumers face skyrocketing healthcare premium costs, Bessent is instead busy propping up a right-winger, likewise stripping benefits from his constituents."

up in heaven after the rapture i just saw god take a tylenol

Yeah. It's been interesting to see the same news outlets that pushed the anti-trans talking points recoil in horror at how irresponsible Trump's being about autism. Almost as though there's a lesson there for them to take...

“To have a $100,000 fee added to the costs that are already associated with H-1B processing is, in effect, a bunker-buster bomb that’s going to blow up the whole system.”

The anti-trans right heavily praised Gordon Guyatt as the “godfather” of evidence based medicine. He worked for SEGM and was responsible for their GRADE reviews. Now he disavows them, says evidence supports transgender youth care. Great coverage from Henry carnell.

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people. His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Ah, I see, shadow docket *plus* rocket docket for whatever Trump needs. Reminder that the emoluments clause case filed by Maryland & DC started June 12, 2017 and then was stalled for so long that SCOTUS dismissed it in January 2021 without a decision because Trump losing made it moot.
