I kind of feel like if it’s your thing to keep insisting Democrats must elect more centrists you should start be demanding Republicans elect any.

Not a financial advisor, but i stay at the holiday inn quite often. I would have told you a company that hasn't made any money, but relied on gvt handouts isn't worth 2T.

Time plays to Iran's advantage. A problem here is the Iranians have been acting like international diplomats, attempting to negotiate a written international agreement, while the Americans have been acting like corrupt reality TV performers, trying to pretend to be tough and maybe pocket some cash.

New York City is the most perfectly "American" place in the nation, just one wave of newcomers after another, gradually building up the culture, one remarkable cultural collision after another. MAGA chuds hate NYC not because it's awful but because it disproves every lie they tell about immigration

Please god let this close the portal to Hell the Cubs opened in 2016

The richest man in the world is doing everything he can to encourage violent racist pogroms within an ally’s territory. Here to explain how your response to that is cringe or excessive are @washingtonpost.com and @nytimes.com.

the cars don't drive themselves and we're still nowhere near Mars, but you can't question Elon Musk's ability to deliver screwworms and racial violence

Thank you Sir, may I give you another chance to crush an NBC microphone.

If the president throws a tantrum when he's pressed about his lies about election fraud and walks away from the interview, your response should be to remind your viewers of all the ways in which those lies were dismissed by the courts. Not promise to give him a do over after he's had nap time.

Just watched the TADC movie with my kiddo who has been obsessed with it in the theater and wow, what an ending to the show. I enjoyed it immensely, and won't spoil any of it at all. I think it's my kiddo's first complex/thought provoking endings to a show he watched religiously and anyway. Wow.

At this point, I'm more furious at the White House press for standing for this than I am at him for being such an inappropriate insulting creep.

Ok. Here is something I don't understand. Ok there's a lot here I don't understand. He didn't actually build the reflecting pool, but is giving it a paint job, so he is trying to take credit for it being longer than skyscrapers are high. But he didn't build it. Explain this to me like I am five.

Oil Bosses: “Prices will soar” Trump: “Don’t care… very boring…” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

turns out it was a bit of a whoopsie to focus on low level j6 rioters rather than throwing the ring leaders in jail immediately and tossing the keys. oh well, better luck next time!

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

I simply could not imagine being in congress and staying silent as Trump builds a slush fund of $1.776 (cute right… 1776) billion dollar slush fund for insurrrectionists. What are these people even there for? History will be brutal to them. And their kids will be embarrassed

again, staying completely silent on the actual merits of ai, the initial ai boosters basically campaigned on "this will eliminate your job, forever, and make me personally rich." it should not surprise *anyone* that this provoked a backlash.

if i was going to give a college commencement speech i would make sure to start with something the students could rally behind. something like "we will mechanically suck the youth from your bones to feed a mechanical eschaton, which my generation will use to climb heaven and become new gods"

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

Weird that so many people resist a technology that promises to ruin the environment, steal your data, ruin art and make you unemployed. Buncha luddites.

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

no see we have a second cycle for the markets Markets about to open: a deal is close! this will be over in days if not hours! Markets closed: we must END this regime and its nuclear capabilities! more retribution is coming!

You can't play "fair" in a rigged game. You have to rewrite the rules and play to win, especially if it's for democracy, freedom, and voting rights. Republicans make up shit all the time to implement minority rule. Be like James Kirk, Dems, and beat the unbeatable Kobiyashu Maru.

I greatly prefer democracy rather than competitive authoritarianism. But since we're now in the latter, the smart thing is to act like it. More broadly, recognizing that we're in competitive authoritarianism and acting accordingly is our best (only?) chance of getting a full democracy again.

"My master plan is to make sure that every channel for political change is shut down. And once ordinary people have no formal, legal way to get what they want, once they see that we've rigged the game in every possible way so that our rule over them is total, well, that'll probably be the end of it"

Jesus. Did that sergeant at arms walk there directly from the Pettus Bridge? The hair, the whole look, everything. Make the photo B&W, and you wouldn't know if it was 2026 or 1965. And the reasons are the same. And the fight's the same. Confederacy and Jim Crow lost before. They'll lose again.

Trump’s detention camps are massively unpopular in every community where they’ve been proposed. But many people don’t realize DHS is planning a concentration camp nearby. That’s why we’re putting up billboards to let local residents know there’s a proposed or existing detention camp in their area.

Trump’s Putin service is, in the estimation of the media, the sunrise. A thing that occurs every day, and requires no mention.

i was told by john roberts and sam alito that racism is over so i won't worry about white republicans in the south jumping over themselves to end black political representation wherever they can

Trump admin making Jimmy Kimmel Live their fucking Waterloo is itself pretty funny.

Hakeem Jeffries responds to Karoline Leavitt: She wants to lecture us about civility? Get lost. Clean up your own house before you have anything to say to us.

Just putting these out for no particular reason:

Those of us in the pro-democracy movement can and should hold both of these positions. 1. We unequivocally reject violence. 2. We will unequivocally oppose efforts by this administration to use last night as an excuse to try to suppress criticism and criminalize dissent.
