This.

My analogy. After they published “J’accuse”, the editors of “L’Aurore” didn’t publish counterpoint from an antisemitic junta. They were devoted to the French Republic. Our press are agnostic about our form of government. They are not committed to a United States governed under the Constitution.

This is really an instance of a very longstanding trend where secular pundits end up unwittingly aligned with fundamentalists in treating the crudest and most extreme version of any faith as the genuine article and everything else as somehow inauthentic.

Conservatives Boycott All Forms Of Entertainment https://theonion.com/conservatives-boycott-all-forms-of-entertainment/

Trump’s fundraisers are now using the threat of dispatching ICE against citizens as an email engagement tactic.

DHS has suspended Greg Bovino’s access to his social media accounts. Now, if he wishes to tell lies with impunity or denigrate Americans based on ethnicity, religion, and political affiliation without significant contradiction, he will be limited to American mainstream media.

Oh my god I missed that they implicitly likened her to *Joe Morrissey*, that’s basically a swear word in the EDVA, god damn

If you’ve lost CNN then you’ve lost middle greedy bootlicking corporate America.

I volunteered but failed the medical exam, I want a 4F bonus.

It's quite common for aging leaders to groom hand-picked successors who aren't capable of breaking with their methods and goals. In practice, the successors function as an extension of corrupt, broken, sclerotic geriatric rule. Jeffries is a product of the gerontocracy -- not a break from it.

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

We now live in a nation where constitutional rights exist in theory, not in practice. augustafreepress.com/news/governm...

Wait for it ….

It's worth noting, for those who *do* have a legitimate procedural/rule-of-law objection to illegal immigration, that Trump is not acting on that idea; he's acting on can only be called nativism and xenophobia. lnk.thebulwark.com/48vef8l

There goes “Take Your Daughter To Work Day” for the Pentagon press corps.

This about sums it up.

You might be thinking, wait, didn't Dems win virtually every election held this year? You're forgetting that in DC, "Democrats are flailing" is not a comment on empirical reality, it is a kind of core ideological truth, a load-bearing pillar in their weltanschauung.

Every time CNN or another network do this “Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing” disclaimer, Dems or left-leaning pundits should light them up and say “uhh, excuse me, Dana, but Trump is very much accused of wrongdoing.”

The SNAP program is wildly over-engineered to prevent fraud. Like the food stamps that came before them, EBT accounts are only good for certain groceries. You can’t even buy a hot meal. A universal basic income system with regular money would be better, but more susceptible to this ugly rhetoric.

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

Democrats ran a variety of candidates in 2025, who tailored campaigns to their constituents—all anti-Trump, but offering different economic specifics based on their locales. It was a big tent approach and did well with voters everywhere. Presenting that as infighting is an effort to generate drama.

Will people notice they are still in the same place? Mysteries of the universe...

As with Bernhard Goetz in the mid-1980s, juries are sympathetic towards Subway vigilantes.

I'd say that Trump's all-stick-no-carrot style of despotism rather broadly connects the democracy and the economic argument; anyway if you're not out there saying that authoritarianism makes us all financially poorer off, maybe politics isn't your thing

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social The real winner of the Virginia’s Governors race? Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's the reason they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva."

More Democrats should get more combative with the media, in particular by calling out questions that have an unspoken premise of "GOP voters are realer Americans than you," or in this case, "the president can break the law if voters in a city choose a mayor according to their own preferences."

the thing you should learn from this is the media hates democrats

Democrats should commit to expanding the Supreme Court and ignoring all of Donald Trump's pardons issued prior to charges. It's what Republicans would do if the roles were reversed.

More like this please.

Because bigotry is confused with patriotism and because these “patriots” are seen by the press corps as the only authentic Americans. Everyone else, and I mean this, is second class.

It has been a tough morning for my Chauncey Billups bobblehead

You are both right on the correct synthesis: Dems should have more “moderate” policy positions and take fewer and higher salience ones, but also be more aggressive about resetting political institutions and establishing a more effective government with fewer veto points.

The woman who told you to believe Lance Armstrong now wants you to believe Bari Weiss.

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

If you strongly believe in a cause, then you have to take the steps necessary to advance the cause and not just steps that express how you feel.

It's a failure of Dem messaging and a sign of weakness that Steve Bannon has no problem just coming out and saying this. The president is not The President. He's just a confused old man who goes on TV to air his grudges. Stephen Miller is The President, and he's the one pushing this hateful agenda.

sorry to report my finest work remains relevant

90% of elected Dems do not know how to fight, do not want to fight, did not run for office to fight, and are not smart enough or principled enough to fight. They entered office so they could fiddle with policy and feel important, they want to hide until it blows over, and will find excuses to do so.

I think this may be what they're worried about ... Is This The Hidden Part of the Trump-Epstein Drama? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/is-th...

There are people in public life clearly and accurately stating the danger to America at this bizarre moment. Those people need support from every Conservative and Liberal American who find our Constitution worth preserving.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Actual human communication is dramatically more complicated that. Democrats have, without exaggeration, driven American democracy into a wall by outsourcing their brains to this class of hucksters, who pretend to insight but who have never successfully changed the public narrative on anything.

How it started. How it's going.

"Lawyers cannot advocate for any outcome based on false statements and they cannot urge others to do so." A lessons to the Trump admin's lawyers right now who have concealed the truth — there may be serious professional consequences for this dishonesty.

"Talk like a normal fucking human being" is the wild new strategy blowing Democratic minds.
