Every couple of months I go back and watch the game highlights for that 2024 USA men’s basketball gold medal run and just feel *lifted* after watching.

There is literally no GOP controlled state politician saying this about democrats. Quite the opposite, they’re gerrymandering to consolidate power in perpetuity. I have no idea who the audience for this is, but it doesn’t exist now, if it ever did.

This is also important for the dem consultant class to understand: politics are not static. Birthright citizenship wasn’t on anyone’s radar in Trump 1. Now it is because they made it an issue.

If the birthright citizenship ruling goes the other way, would these players be immediately disqualified?

Insane how many swamp allusions one can make in this instance.

Has the worm or any of these folks talked explicitly about how citizenship would be established absent the 14th? Because I’m not sure most folks (like 80% of the country) will like it.

I heard that back in the 90s Trump had his ribs removed so he could suck his own dick.

Is Ken White still suspended

Tough day to be a Texan with a judiciary like that. Moving magazines arguing against fascism gets you longer than any one of those cops in Uvalde.

We’re basically at this stage of the Trump presidency. He’s dangerous, because all presidents are. But this stuff needs to be mocked.

This is almost certainly a confession by the admin for something they’re doing currently.

Actually, this is a somewhat useful text, in that all of the historical nonsense here is built to underscore a specific mysogynist argument: that it is better to have a bad, difficult and precarious life where you can brutalize women than a relatively prosperous and secure one where you can't

Removing the blockade earlier than the MOU required and now trying diplomacy by tweet re Israel and Lebanon. It’d be hard for Trump to look any weaker than he does now.

It’s a terrible deal, an enormous loss. Trump is responsible for defending his whole policy & we owe him no help in that

This is art.

It’s not even clear to me from the texts that we’ve seen that Iran has any material obligation at all.

“I was wondering whether you had ever observed Donald Trump.”

So Vance is the commander and chief? Just signed it behind Trump’s back after Trump just said he signed it in Versailles? This is incredible content. Just endless humiliation.

Chotiner can’t keep getting away with this. Hang this in the louvre.

It’s crazy that this type of answer doesn’t get any pushback. What’s the point of your constituents voting for you at all if you’re ceding all your agency to Trump? Maybe we can all agree Indiana only gets one senator that sounds nice. Not as nice as zero Indiana senators but I’ll take it.

Pretty weird he didn’t go with an american example. Seems like it might be notable. I’m sure it’s fine.

Right now the talking heads of maga Congress are asking people to tone down the rhetoric.

What an astute assessment I wonder what gave them the idea

This ackman tweet got a genuine cackle out of me.

Trump one upping Obama by sending trainloads rather than pallets of cash. This is what strong leadership looks like: surrendering harder than anyone has ever surrendered and getting nothing out of the agreement.

I can’t believe how good Jalen Brunson was. Incredible.

That jeep commercial was a weird one

Sweet Mary what a goal.

HE SHALL NOT BE DENIED

GOAAAAAL

I am betting we never see the full text of the deal from the White House

Netanyahu is being asked to take an enormous bite of the shit sandwich he helped make, if true.

When you are very confident you have an agreement.

Does having idiotic hair grant you +100 to rizz? I don’t understand how any of this happens.

What he has failed to show, and will continually fail to show, is what any of this accomplishes (or what he even wants to accomplish). There are no consistent public conditions as to what constitutes a win. “We blew shit up” begs the question “to what end?” How does this soften Iran’s position?

Trump doesn’t live in a concrete reality. “Everything is marketing” doesn’t work as he’d like it to in international contexts. “We won the war the strait is open” might be something Fox will repeat, but eventually you run into the price at the pump or in the grocery store. Or in Arlington.

Hot dog guy says what

Just remembering that Fitch rated junk CDS as AAA right up until the music stopped back in 2007.

I'm from the government, and I'm here to help. By looking at everyone in the country's medical records using AI developed by the world's most vicious and maladjusted weirdos. Strong MAGA slogan.

roberts and alito have concocted a jurisprudence in which constitutional amendments explicitly ratified to secure the right of black americans to vote now restrain congress from securing the right of black americans to vote.

It is both very weird to do this and also insulting to rogers to imply he’s such a noodle armed bitch we had to run him through AI to make it clear he’s on masculine swole patrol.

Witness.

It should be a much bigger story that Musk and NASDAQ are about to commit what should be viewed as a massive financial fraud that will result in many, many billions of dollars of regular peoples’ money being shoveled into Musk’s greedy maw.

I think this is at least part of the rebellion against expertise. The experts hand wave away human testimony in favor of tortured numbers or language. Same shit that we saw early on in Trump 1.0 from certain legal pundits who couldn’t see what was right in front of their faces.

The Champagnie game. Just like everyone expected. This Spurs team is scary now and for the foreseeable future.

This seems like nothing? An agreement to try to come to an agreement? How does this change the status quo

Donald Trump is sending the Justice Department after a woman he raped.

Seems notable DOJ is pursuing rape victims rather than any of the Epstein abusers.
