now arrest him

The reason he makes so many people mad is because he's more consistent than them

this summer... [overhead shot of a quiet neighborhood in suburban America] .. you think it's a nice family cookout... [zooming in from the sky to reveal a backyard party with an above-ground pool] ... but then... [a woman off-screen says "let me see what you have"] ... everything changes

turning a big page taht says "Racism" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

Haley Stevens posts a poll from Tavern research showing her in the lead. From their website: "Tavern combines human expertise with rapid-response AI to capture the true pulse of the electorate."

We're not even done with this administration and we're already getting "well we can rebuild faith in old relationships!" posts. It's just truly silly to say this stuff if you can't even conceivably jail any of the still-living people involved with the trust-breaking groups and movements.

didn't realize it until this clip but he really is the brian kelly of poltiics isn't he

damn, got my ass

A lot of conspiracy theories are just “other people have friends”

In a hearing where residents grilled officials on data centers, a resident of Tyrone Township, Michigan, asked a simple question: Have you signed an NDA with any party regarding developments that could affect the town? The majority of the township's officials refused to answer.

Among other issues, the MI senate race is a choice between moral clarity on what ICE is and what must be done to it. El-Sayed nails it with this. Stevens voted for a resolution thanking ICE and has voted for bills that would expand ICE's access to data.

once again, a Muslim Democrat with strong pro-Palestinian beliefs approaches this horrifying situation from a position of humanism and moral consistency and once again he is told his objections can only be rooted in bigotry

MAINE CHARACTER SYNDROME

Maybe the solution to the male loneliness crisis is working in an NBA front office. Imagine coordinating a six team trade. So many phone calls with your dudes naming some guys.

This mf admits he made it all up to get "media attention"

the platner situation is a good reminder that when everyone with the worst political instincts in the world all line up behind one candidate that’s actually a bad sign

ken klippy: you can't fire me, i don't have a job 🖕😎🖕

everybody get in here we're doing the republican calendar 2

All of these dudes wanna be Hasan Piker but 15 seconds into any of their videos it becomes immediately apparent they just don't have no sauce. A bunch of guys who wanna be leftist bad boys so bad but were cursed to be short, ugly, rizzless men. Hate to see it.

Then meeting them halfway is not a remedy. It can be complicity. Then treating both sides as equivalent is not neutrality. It can be normalization. Then conflict and resistance are not the disease. They can be part of the solution.

‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis. But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right. By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵 Just out in Perspectives on Politics doi.org/10.1017/S153...

dude was credibly accused of rape, and his campaign's response was basically "that's not gonna stop him from doing what he wants to do" ...which doesn't exactly sound like learning a fucking lesson to me!

Really can't be overstated how Uncommitted was the prime example of what a lot of liberals (in the broad, non pejorative sense) claim to like: an inside-outside strategy which tries to appeal to the establishment to change its policies by using all institutional tool possible. They hated it anyway.

haley stevens watching the mcmorrow campaign do one of the fastest political nosedives ever witnessed and just eagerly jumping on board

If "Platner campaign strategist whose voice gets progressively, insanely high pitched and strangled as he talks about vetting the candidate" was a bit it, it would be insanely funny. But we don't need to invent it.

I like how every far right party has realizes all they need to do is weaponize the mid life crisis bsky.app/profile/core...

it's so brave of haley stevens to try to become the first female US senator who can't read

the more life force drains from mcconnell’s body, the more the vibe is being restored. he is like accidental aerith

as America's greatest athlete always says: ball don't lie

Hey Naomi how's Canada this time of year

I am calling for Matt Yglesias to immediately drop out of polite society

In more positive news,

Michigan - Democratic Senate Polling: El-Sayed: 54% Stevens: 34% - Data for Progress -

the thing that fascinates me abt platner is that he seemingly thought he could just run without any of this shit coming up and looking really fucking bad on paper

Most paths to redemption do not involve gaining massive power and influence. Usually the opposite is true. A lesson it’s better to learn sooner than later, I have found.
