Someone tell the Dems

I think they keep him in an information bubble and just feed him what they want him to know (whether it's true or not)

Lots of people are still driving around those baby killer-mobiles

He's successfully identified the problem

Trump goes woke

An incredibly embarrassing loss for Trump and the GOP. Many people are saying.

The meltdowns have begun and we don’t even know about California yet.

Elon Musk is mad at Sam Altman mostly because he stole Elon’s entire playbook.

Mamdani delivering on housing affordability

Does this count as an in-kind contribution to the Mamdani campaign?

Unfortunately, I find it easier to chart a concrete path towards a complete breakdown of the constitutional order than to envision a democratic turnaround: Escalate the conflict in the streets to declare “emergencies”; attack the elections; criminalize all opposition as “domestic terrorism.”

I can't even figure out what this means

...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Don't threaten me with a good time

In 2022 the Carolina Panthers had Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield as their QBs

This makes me absolutely incandescent

Who did this?

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

The reality of the Democratic Party -- what its elected officials actually do with the power they are given -- is almost entirely immaterial to US political discourse. Happens off-stage, basically. Discourse is dominated by a kind of collective hallucination, a bogieman invented by its opponents.

This is disqualifying

"So what you're telling me is you need less evidence to kill someone than to hold them?" is a cursed sentence

Writers getting real lazy and just doing reruns of a century ago

It's amazing that Douthat has made a whole career out of the "this thing supports my priors" meme

Didn’t Kristi Noem say just yesterday that any reports of US citizens being detained were false as well?

Also if you want to punish people for crimes you have to make a case for it, not just blow them up

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

No wonder the tacky car dealership owners love him

There are so many incredible Vance insults circulating on the interwebs, but this one might be the best of all:

my god, what a paragraph (from tonight's @hcrichardson.bsky.social)

Have I mentioned lately that Heritage has a journalism fellowship named after the Guardabassi family, the male head of which was one of Mussolini's emissaries in the US in the 1930s, while his wife was a leading funder of US antisemites & neo-Nazis in the 1950s-60s? “Our own people.”

Another immigrant who did a job no American wanted, only to be discarded. Poor Usha.

Yeah, they are.

Sounds desperate

I absolutely did not know the history here. In particular, I had no idea that Christian Identity (a white supremacist cult) and NAR Christian Nationalism shared common and KKK-linked theological history. BUT IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE

Please note what happened here. By challenging Trump to pause his terror raids for Halloween, Pritzker forced Kristi Noem to come out *for* continuing to traumatize kids. Polarizing these debates draws attention/forces MAGA depravity into the light. newrepublic.com/article/2023...

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

It takes only two or three seconds to become helpless in flowing grain

Well that's certainly dystopian

seeing tech bros misunderstanding literature again

government of, by, and for violent criminals

A little too on the nose

it's curious how our consolidated corporate media and brunchlord pundit class' only consistent solution for Democrats' problems is to be more right wing funny how that works

on one end you have this massive right wing propaganda bullhorn lying about what Democrats stand for bolstered by a corporate press that's routinely gamed by Republicans to validate and amplify these lies then you have pundits wondering why the electorate so often votes against its best interests

Oh.

No, it's not. Didn't you swear an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution you bumbling stereotype?

What percentage of politicians in your country are still relying on this site as a primary means of public communication? It feels slightly maddening that this isn't being treated as an extremely urgent problem.
