That’s 100% more cauldrons than usual, you guys.

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

This is good. I hope they hold the line.

A GOP-backed proposal in Missouri would require citizen-led ballot initiatives to win majorities in all eight congressional districts to pass. But amendments that lawmakers put on the ballot themselves wouldn't be subjected to the same high bar.

You can’t prove it because it’s an obvious lie, you evil little ghoul.

“My freedom to dominate my subjects is limited by their rights” is a hell of a take.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

Destroying air travel in the U.S. before the midterms is a boss move, Markwayne. Don't listen to squishes who tell you voters won't like it. Do it and be a legend.

I know this is unpopular and @mattyglesias.bsky.social gets shit for it all the time, but there is only one way out—a democratic supermajority in both houses. I would really love for you people to think about the tolerance required for that outcome. Please?

I’m still a little confused about how this happens absent a vacancy. Powell has said he is staying on. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Umm. Loose cuff.

As part of their effort to make sure far right sheriffs don't get reelected uncontested, @boltsmag.org has put together a list of every one that is up for vote in 2026. boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

Even under SCOTUS's dubious reasoning in Trump v. U.S., there is no scenario in which maneuvering billions of dollars to an offshore account to keep it out of reach from Congress and courts is an "official act." This is all criminal and impeachable.

Masking is not about doxing. That is the excuse. They are wearing masks so people cannot identify agents who engage in abuses, civil rights violations, and crimes. You can’t report someone or hold them accountable in any way if you can’t identify them.

I felt obliged to write up an overview of all of the Fulton County fraud claims that have already been made — and dismissed. Let me know if I forgot any. www.pbump.net/o/some-thing...

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

The internal polling that conservatives are seeing on this has to be insane

NEW: Following TikTok’s sale to a Trump-aligned business group, our office has received reports — and independently confirmed instances — of suppressed content critical of President Trump.

It’s time to investigate. I am launching a review into whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring Trump-critical content.

So there are scalps now? www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I am in part referring to the guy who posted the video of Pretti reading a final salute to the dying veteran, so yes many of them seem to be

I truly, truly get it why a lot of good people are saying that Minneapolis is not about left or right, democrats or republican, now. I understand. But I’m sorry it actually is

There is one side of the aisle that is deeply deeply flawed, and then there’s the ruling party that wants more of what happened in Minnesota this weekend Not just the shooting, but the whole lawless, bigoted, gleefully violent crackdowns. They crave it. Those are your two options

This is why I resist the hobbyism label. Also, seeing this reminds others they have permission to post/share. Especially important for timid women who worry about offending their social networks.

Overdoses had been rising inexorably for 20 years until a recent drop—and although the change is something to celebrate, the root of the problem may be far outside of U.S. policy makers’ control, Charles Fain Lehman argues:

I’m 10 years in and not at all confident my sense of what we are as Americans is shared, but this makes me feel a bit better.

Happy that their support is caving in. But also, what a stark illustration of moral cowardice. Two residents of your state blown away by armed thugs, and whether or not you excused it depended on how the polls looked. She should resign and seek forgiveness from whatever god she prays to.

I am ten years in and my confidence that this will backfire is not as high as I would like.

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

OH, HELL NO!

Alex Pretti did not “tragically die. He was murdered.

In fairness, two candidates who warned us constantly were women

I can get behind this.

“The power of the force has stopped you, you hosers.”

Just watching Canadian Bacon with John Candy and I honestly wish it was more of an escape.

Worse than my reaction to this degenerate is the realization that he’s on Fox prime time because it gets good ratings.

Senate Republicans appear to be considering agreeing to split the DHS funding from the rest of the spending mega-package, the nyt reports: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

So,Trump’s base consists of reality-tv loving morons who believe demonstrably false things and want revenge on a nebulous cabal of leftist elites, even if that revenge is directed straight at them? www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I need to hear from the folks in the 60/70s and protesting Vietnam (and everything else)...did shit feel as corrupt, unjust, overwhelming, and impossible to overcome as they do now? Not inviting you to compare, more how you felt in the moment, not knowing what you know now

So literally nothing. Beautiful.

Agree

Attacks on Jack Smith are transparent efforts to undermine his testimony. His investigation followed all legal and policy requirements and amassed evidence of Donald Trump’s guilt. Grateful for his courage.

Mar-a-lago

lol. It’s terrible the way the press reported on the handler assigned to do your job because you’re too incompetent to do your job. Totally the press’s fault.

I want to firmly plant myself in the “never too late for now” camp. Democrats need to spend the next 10 years prosecuting everyone for everything. This starts with Trump. Charge him and make SCOTUS confront Trump v USA. Make it painful.

I am simply questioning whether dismantling ICE is better as a public or private conversation. I feel like we’re all in agreement and should maybe just shut up about it, point out the abuses, then do it when we have power?
