Kat Abughazaleh used her campaign to try a lot of things that the party should been embracing a long time ago. The entire left coalition is better off because she ran.

Trump insults NATO allies, says he doesn't need them, gets into a mess, begs NATO allies to bale him out, and when they all refuse, screams on Truth Social, "WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE — WE NEVER DID ". Seriously .. this man is genuinely insane. And his finger is on the nuclear trigger.😳

Donald Trump, The Republican party and Vladimir Putin are the Axis of Evil.

“Apparently I’m an idiot.” Woman at Pennsylvania gas station who voted for Trump rips into him, calls him “a worthless pile of sh*t”.

This deserves more grace than the various versions that go “I had a point at the time, no one could’ve known, I’m special and should be personally catered to, everyone should admit that my bigotries had a point and should move closer to them, this is mostly your fault really, give me grace or else.”

MattY really is the kind of guy who revises his previous views without really admitting to ever being wrong, oh and actually that was my opinion the whole time

"After a year of Trump denigrating, threatening and tariffing allies, no one is willing to help rescue the US from a mess of its own making no matter how much he browbeats them." Good @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social: His refusal to grasp incentives of others is backfiring www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

The difference between them and me is that I think safeguarding the integrity of elections means protecting and expanding voting rights, whereas they think it means oppressing voting rights.

The kids these days will hardly believe it, but a mere two years ago, the mental & physical (lack of) acuity of Elderly Presidents was the Great Issue of Our Time. Someone should tell Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson, so they can write a book on it.

They’re gonna put boots on the ground in Iran and then try to sell it to the dumbest fucking people in their coalition. Just the absolute stupidest fucking people that the island off the coast of Iran owned by Iran is not boots on the ground.

WTF! Alan Dershowitz, Donald's buddy and attorney for Jeffrey Epstein, signing off on this 2007 letter to the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida: "We are, of course, mindful of the fact that, unbeknownst to Mr. Epstein, some of the women were in fact not yet 18... 🧵

40 MINUTES TIL POLLS CLOSE. As always, if you’re waiting in line to vote, STAY IN LINE.

SCOOP— Trump wants a 24k gold coin w/ his face on it for America 250, but an official at a late February coin advisory committee meeting called it something only done by "nations ruled by kings or dictators." After NYT reported the criticism, US Mint yanked online vid of the meeting w/o explanation.

I am going to become the joker. We've been screaming from the rooftops that this was never about sports or trans youth healthcare. Instead, we were ignored and browbeaten by a bunch of idiot centrists who took the concerns of people who want us eliminated in good faith. archive.ph/xgwCd

A reminder that Democrats agreed to fund TSA, FEMA, CISA and the Coast Guard, but republicans blocked that funding.

Really love this piece, captures something I've wanted to say for a long time. There's an "every accusation is a confession" aspect to this, of course -- nobody is more sweatily obsessed with performance &image than MAGA types -- but there's also something deepers going on.

Remember when the Biden administration asked Twitter to stop platforming vaccine denialism? And the request, rather than the denialism, became the Big Scandal? And now people are dying from not being vaxxed? America is so fun and smart.

Court: "Are you here for moral support? Because you're not going to speak." Off to a great start!

Because it’s already been litigated. 63 times. And Trump lost all 63.

The Filibuster is an obstruction device by and for the shittiest fucking people in our society Oligarchs, Racists, confederate trash humans

Yup. Functional government is anathema to conservatives.

Because Trump like all MAGA is a colossally stupid fucking human

SCOOP: One of the nation's top "justice facility" architecture firms will no longer work on ICE detention centers or deportation facilities after its employees staged a revolt.

We can NOT let any of these people rejoin polite society after this is done. We can’t let ⬜️ people provide cover by calling us divisive when this is over. They need to be treated like the treasonous evil mfers they are or this will happen again. We must fix the mistake of the Confederacy.

Today is the one year anniversary of DOGE's raid on the US Institute of Peace. DC Metropolitan police literally broke open doors at the institute's privately-owned building to let Trump officials bully their way in. Read about my lawsuit to retrieve the body camera footage, and what it revealed:

Graduating high school before ChatGPT is like having a brain made of recovered steel from warships old enough to not have been weakened by atomic bomb isotopes.

In a shocking turn of events, it deems it doesn’t engender cooperation among your allies when you spend a year and a half calling them enemies, threatening to invade some of them, and working to inflict economic harm through tariffs where you incorrectly claim they’ve been taking advantage of you

No, Democrats offered an alternative in November 2024 and the country rejected it. It's not the Ds' obligation to bail out Mike Waltz, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, & Brad Cooper. It's their team, their plan, their boss, their fiasco. The country wanted this. The people yearned for the (sea) mines.

🇬🇧🇺🇸🇮🇷 UK National Security Adviser Jonathan Powell attended US–Iran talks and believed a deal was “surprising” and could prevent war, - The Guardian Further talks were planned, but 2 days later the US and Israel attacked Iran. Witkoff and Kushner were seen as “Israeli assets” pushing Trump into war.

oh god PLEASE send me new grads, I am literally begging the U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota to hire new grads to stare down the barrel at the horde of pissed-off litigators currently besieging their office

marco rubio spending his *entire life* hating the castros only to end up involved in secret discussions to make them the hereditary shadow leadership of cuba is somehow a perfect marco rubio story

They started a war that killed 13 Americans and 168 Iranian schoolchildren. Asked why. The official answer: 'This was a feeling the president had based on facts.' The FCC is now threatening to pull licenses of stations that report on his feeling. We are here.

A military coalition of Canadian girlfriends

My sources say it was former president John Barron

Well said!

Thank you Bari Weiss, Thomas Chatterton Williams, and Michael Powell for everything you did to win Leqaa's freedom in the name of free speech on campus

Greg Bovino won’t just get to walk away — he will be held accountable and responsible for the damage he's done to our nation. We won’t forget, and neither should you. No one is above the law.

Once again, a self-professed champion of "Western Civilization" shows disdain for its basic concepts, such as "the unexamined life is not worth living," attributed to Socrates, who is not exactly "modern."

Hegseth holds a press conference like every day just to say he loves war crimes

Bring on the prosecutions! www.cbsnews.com/news/gregory...

even for a guy who has bankrupted god knows how many casinos and from there failed in ever more eye-popping ways, this iran shit is a fuck up of absolutely galactic proportions

A person who stumbles into great wealth & power will inevitably develop an elaborate worldview that tells them: a) yes, you & people like you deserve the wealth & power, & b) no, you shouldn't feel bad about it. There is nothing more boring on earth than them sharing the details of said worldview.

Matt Yglesias took to the pages of the New York Times to argue that the Democrats need to abandon immigrants, people of color, the climate, and in particular, trans people, in order to win elections.
