Disaster for the GOP

This is because he’s dying from a terminal illness.

This gonna end up as one of those stories where everyone in media knew what was happening but decided reporting scandalous behavior is beneath them when it involves one of their own.

Destroying the anti-vax movement and their pseudoscience health grifters that have latched onto it is critical to restoring sanity to this country. Good.

it's wild how not one of these alleged titans of journalism has done a single deep dive into how maga is literally a protection racket for sex offenders

They smeared people as gang members and sent them to a torture camp in El Salvador for less...

It's all presented as left-wing but is somehow incredibly Trumpian.

Trump’s labor secretary was caught drinking on the job and sleeping with staffers. She resigned in disgrace. Here’s how The New York Times presents it:

Sweet Jesus. The taxpayers just gifted $1.25M to this asshole. KBJ was right when she said the Oval Office would become the seat of criminality in America if Roberts granted Trump immunity.

If that’s the definition of “sure thing” there’s tons of drafts that had 0 sure things…

The President calls every black person he doesn’t like “low IQ” and the media believes it absolutely critical we draw no conclusions from that

I wonder if we're going to see another attempted coup next year

Respect where it’s due.

I'm in my woke Nixon era I'm taking the fight to the Franklins in the 'liberal' media I'm seeing American politics as an all-or-nothing struggle between civilisation and destruction I'm working with Queero Agnew I'm secretly sending arms to Ukraine I'm plumbermaxxing

“If Arkansas raised its minimum wage, Democrats should be able to win elections there.” Was a real thing people said in the 2010s.

I’m a broken record on this but Trump’s firewall from 2016-2025 was voter trust in his handling of the economy. Not MAGA culture wars. That firewall has now been breached, and his overall approval is sinking to unusual levels. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

One big political divide is between people who believe germs cause disease and people who believe Those People cause disease. It was pretty evident right away during the pandemic

There was zero reporting like this in Ohio in 2022. None. This makes me fucking livid.

I genuinely don’t recall reporting like this, focused on angry Dems in Houston or Austin, when this all kicked off in Texas (without any ballot initiative or referendum).

You can't even get a single conservative to admit Republicans brought this onto themselves huh? Just a completely intellectually bankrupt movement. Top to bottom from the highest elected official to the random talking head to the rando anon person on social media its all trash.

Conservatives have been trained for decades to think of Constitutions not as agreed-upon rules for fair governance, but as a series of cheat codes and loopholes that let them hold power even when the voters want to throw them out. They won't accept anything less than permanent domination of us.

VA absolutely needs to follow Ohio and tell its SC to pound sand if they overturn the referendum.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

for the past ten years, models of the electorate have been increasingly special-casing low-information low-propensity voters, increasingly making the posterior Oops! All Priors!

it’s so funny that the drunk tv host in charge of the military is like “real warriors don’t need vaccines” when all the greatest generals in history would have done anything for a jab that kept their armies safe from disease

The appeal of alt medicine isn’t ’capitalism alienated us from healing ‘ or whatever, it’s that it has no evidential foundation so it can make claims like ‘ouchie needles are bad for you but yummy milkshakes are good’

I was initially lukewarm on Steyer, but I’ve come around to the idea that it’s actively good to have a billionaire help lead the charge to tax billionaires.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Yea he regrets supporting Trump because Trump FAILED. Not a profile in courage! Get an update on his belief in the Big Lie!

A day after Kash Patel's spurious defamation lawsuit against the Atlantic, here's a real lawsuit against a spurious media outlet and two fake reporters.

Between Cuomo and what we’ve seen in 2026, I’m developing hope that we’ve broken the fever of Trumpian shamelessness. Specifically, the idea that any scandal can be overcome if you ignore it and push through.

Simple rule: the Senate should not confirm any appointee to any post who can’t say clearly who legitimately won the 2020 presidential election. Not just who was “installed”, but who won the vote and the electoral college.

Midwest specific: Ranch on Pizza is an abomination. Ohio Specific: Cincinnati chili is gross and chili in general should never be a sauce for pasta NEOH specific: The Slyman’s sandwich is way overrated and I would rather have it thick cut if you’re gonna serve me that much corned beef.

The words "North Carolina," and "Missouri" do not appear in this piece of shit article. Neither does the word "decade." "Florida" and "Texas" appear in subordinate clauses, after words like "After Virginia ..." and "Gov. Gavin Newsom of California framed ..." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/u...

I think the American social contract includes, or should include, emotional divestment from old country border disputes

HOPE ALL IS WELL, KISS THE PLAINTIFF AND THE WIFEY!

The Supreme Court is funny, they make bribes legal soup to nuts and then they're like 'we're collegial!' yeah I fucking bet lol going to opera and shit, sounds like a nice time

Correlation doesn't equal causation, but the fact that all the Gaza fundraiser hacker spam disappeared more or less simultaneously alongside Molly Shah deleting her account sure does raise my eyebrows a bit.

reasons why the suez crisis happened: two empires, overextended, ravaged by war, desperately trying to hold onto the last bits of grandeur slipping through their hands reasons why the American suez crisis happened: woman said Lara Crofts boobs were too big on youtube

Gas is still <$4/gallon here in Ohio, btw.

Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.

This is basically how every conversation on every topic goes nowadays. “Yeah, sure, republicans *want* to destroy this thing but they won’t end up doing it so it’ll be fine BUT what about when the Dems did (something untrue I have a vague recollection of through a game of internet telephone)?”

you know… I simply do not think this is true

We went from “No More Forever Wars” to “I’m entitled a forever war as a treat, actually.”

No way this backfires.

It’s true Democrats have to do very well to win in places like Ohio and Alaska but facts on the ground suggest they don’t have to much better to pick off seats in the next tier of TX/IA/FL/NE. And it’s clear the latter is more likely than Collins holding on or the GOP picking up a seat in MI or GA.

one of the things that's going to need serious attention in woke 2 is corporate governance of publicly traded companies, and the duties of a board to the company and the company's shareholders and employees
