The man who got his first NYT headline as the target of a federal housing-discrimination suit has moved, as president, to make housing discrimination great again. Wish I could call that a shock.

One day, my kids will ask me what I did to fight for our country at this moment. I want to tell them I fought like heck for their future. That’s why I’m running for Congress in New Jersey’s 11th district. Join me. cammieforcongress.com

I “deserve better” than … (*checks post*) death? Er … thanks for the compliment?

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

I’m aware of the “Ezra Klein is a kind man” discourse, and as someone whose circles brushed against his in D.C. years ago I somewhat agree with it. As a political matter that still doesn’t mean much, though — because his “we have to live with each other” is a plea falling on deaf ears.

This is a straightforward argument for fascism. "The lefties are decadent and won't change unless the state pressures the institutions against them."

Lysenko is somebody you’re hearing about more and more, very strongly.

“Felt like she could run through a brick wall”: she can hardly swim, so maybe she’ll have better luck with that?

Old enough to remember the shitfit Republicans threw after Paul Wellstone’s funeral, when they characterized some of the oratory from the dais as incendiary libels. Let’s stay tuned for the gentle rhetoric we’ll hear about Dems today.

“Making a joke about an assassination—there is no room for that at all.”

"Plutocratic populism" is a term that's getting noticed more and more these days.

They gutted the WaPo editorial board, and replaced it with a Trump-enamored parrot.

A kindred point: some elite free-speech defenders first experienced untrammeled speech _toward them_ when people talked back to them on social media — and have resented the incivility they experienced ever since.

The right-wing says crime in D.C. is a menace so fearsome that, per a GOP bill this week, it requires putting 14 year olds on trial as adults. Can we commit to trials for suspects pushing 65, too? Like, at all?

Ah, another instance of Trump’s “stop the testing, and COVID goes away” approach to evidence of a problem. (Kind of like his reputed eating of paper messages to prevent their retention, except this time for an entire government data set.)

Stop criticizing DHS or else what, exactly?

“We do not care”: ma’am, close your mouth forever about crime in D.C. then.

Why are official executive intra-branch communications happening through Truth Social DMs? And how secure are messages on that platform from hacking?

Running a bribe-soliciting operation using Cava Grill bags?! Good grief, what a bunch of no-class crooks.

Even if you take the most lenient possible interpretation -- that SCOTUS has made it increasingly hard to prosecute bribery and corruption -- you still have to ask what kind of crooked-ass administration hires a guy who just took $50k cash.

1) big story (but it’s not hypocrisy—it’s just how authoritarians roll) 2) seeing MSNBC, on the verge of a spinoff, doing sharp journalism makes me think: if a billionaire bought it, gave it editorial independence & committed it to left-leaning opinion & investigative reporting, that’d be … a-okay?

there was a large enough pro-life Dem caucus in the House that it almost sank Obamacare! basically all of them lost their seats in the Tea Party wave, and we’ve only seen congressional races get more nationalized since then shitty policy stances aren’t enough to win over these voters

What Charlie Kirk and Jesus have in common is that American Christofascists absolutely hate it when you quote them directly.

Washington Post columnist says BSky has made people irrelevant but Karen Attiah was literally just fired on the pretense that a few BSky posts could single-handedly damage WaPo’s reputation and endanger the entire staff Columnist has said nothing publicly about this Which is it you guys

Hey, what do you think is more likely guys: Indian firms and US firms start hiring more US workers Or Indian firms and US firms start the biggest offshore program to do the work in India and China you’ve ever seen in your life causing a net drop in jobs for US workers

"If you think city services are bad now — and I think all of us would agree that they suck — and you thought maybe one day we would have funding to restore service, I have bad news. It's going to get worse." Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky absolutely shredding the $3B convention center plan to bits

The more you worry about authoritarianism, the more willing you should get to enable authoritarian control over some people: sorry, no, that logic doesn’t parse.

Real bright of Elon to ensure the turbofucking of Tesla’s business by throwing his full, spendy might behind the party that supported the ‘Turbofuck EV Makers Act.’ Masterful gambit, sir.

“Constitutional conservatism has … [beguiled] more and more people [to] take the Constitution as cast in amber.” Except the GOP never truly accepted “constitutional conservatism.” It just shaped the judiciary to quasi-amend the Constitution by pretending its words meant something else all along.

Old enough to remember that ‘Roman salute’ (*ahem*) she gave at the Republican National Convention a few years ago.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

The year is 2025. The president does the cha-cha slide daily on the laws and constitution, calls the country’s cities war zones, releases snuff films for our weekend entertainment — and says that criticizing him for any of this should be illegal.

Well, the price of beef has shot through the roof — but that should have no political ramifications. It's not as if this country has had iconic marketing campaigns about the place of beef on the family table, after a—

well, on the one hand, your rural hospitals are all going to shut down, but on the other, you weren’t going to have doctors or nurses to staff them anyway

Life in our times. Message to a friend from a family-owned, well-reviewed home-repairs company, about coming to fix a roofing problem. (I know this company and know that they have closed.)

Welp, guess we know who'll have standing to file a suit to enjoin this cockamamie idea's implementation.

Between cooking inflation stats, pretextual legal authority for its ‘Trump Card,’ and fraudulent indictment against Tish James, this White House might soon run out of kitchen space.

The smallest of points here, but one about Trump’s frozen-in-amber mind: the page tries to communicate class and quality by using ITC Garamond Condensed, as if it were some Apple //c ad circa 1985.

This is wildly illegal and he has no authority to do this

Trump should find whoever negotiated the Afghanistan withdrawal and read them the riot act, TBQH. I wonder which president that was?

if I were a member of the current Trump administration I would not be excited about the concept of “illegal pardons”

I strongly agree with every single word of this. Public disorder is toxic to the pro urbanist political project and we must take it seriously.

Pricier food, pricier games, pricier toys, pricier phones, pricier power … just about the only people getting ahead in Trump’s economy are the billionaires enjoying fewer audits and lower taxes.

Hmm: is this the 'deportation abundance' some right-wing chode joked about a few weeks ago?

Before you use a search engine find a photo of the 18 year old: yes, he is. Yes he is.

This man is one of the campaign’s super volunteers, the nicest dude you’ll ever meet, wildly dependable, and apparently capable of taking the coolest photo of 2025.

Michael Eisner, welcome to the Resistance.

Never change, Dear Leader Il Juche. Never change.

Anyone else get the sense that Thune truly sucks at his job? Like, well and truly?
