look, I've heard people claim that Al Gore would have invaded Iraq and that Hilary Clinton would have put anti-abortion justices on the Supreme Court. 'the imaginary version of the Democrats in my head' is always going to win for some people really committed to the 'both parties are the same' crap.

A lot of people epically failed to accept the basic reality that the 2024 election was an election with huge moral stakes and a clear right and wrong answer (for a wide range of reasons). They now are twisting themselves into knots to protect themselves from accepting that moral failing.

December 2025 through February 2026 was the 2nd warmest winter on record for the Contiguous U.S. according to Prism climate data. The widespread record to near record warmth in the west easily outweighed the cool temps in the east. 🔥🔥🔥

Literally, the "moderates" are the ones spending millions AGAINST Democrats, such as Zohran Mamdani who are wildly popular. They represent corporate interests, not Americans' best interest, and they will help Democrats continue to lose. It's time to stop behaving like cult members.

Love this thing pundits do where they pretend not to understand why students might protest Israel (a country that their school may actively be funding and therefore the protests are about trying to get their school to take action) and not Iran (a country that their school has nothing to do with).

Republicans spent 17 months on Benghazi because 4 Americans were killed. It’s been 3 days and Trump’s illegal Iran attack has already gotten 6 American soldiers killed. He promises more will die soon. And Republicans don’t care.

This is what I have been saying forever. The only reason Republicans pretend to care about “the Jewish people” is that they need Israel for the Rapture to happen and then all the Jews will burn in Hell. Criticizing Israel’s government isn’t antisemitic but THAT sure is.

Operation Allies Refuge moved ~125K people out of AFG in 2021. To move 300-400K AMCITs and families out of the Middle East, commercial air will not suffice. The US would need to perform one of the largest non-combatant evacuation operations ever attempted--during an air war. There's a plan, right?

I don't know why this is so hard. Fighters win—we see that over and over, because often it's *not* about their politics! Trump was perceived as a fighter! The most effective way to reduce Trump as a foe is undermining his narrative as a tough guy... by fighting him.

Trump surpassed “what even the most self-indulgent presidents would have envisioned. Beset by scandal, facing multiple defeats in America’s courts, and hitting levels of unpopularity that would make Richard Nixon nod with empathy, he turned the State of the Union into a vulgar, populist carnival.”
