Trump never met a corrupt Republican he wouldn't pardon.

I, for one, will miss the thrill of watching democracy and day trading merge into one seamless grift.

Sounds like class action lawsuit stuff. "Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day."

"The dilemma we face is simple: genuinely respond to the scientific reality of our predicament or endure the consequences of this profound moral failure for centuries to come."

Amazonian lakes are being transformed into simmering basins hotter than spa baths, killing fish and endangered dolphins, as severe heatwaves and drought grip the region, research shows.

The result of the vote was announced at the annual shareholder event in Austin, Texas, with more than 75% of investors voting in favor of the plan. Chants of “Elon” erupted in the room at the news of its approval.

This is just deeply perverse. An abomination.

What Republicans and many Democrats decry as radical 'Socialism' and 'Communism', is considered fairly mainstream by most Europeans.

And they still call this the "Democrat shutdown".

This is what's coming:

No country is on track to meet their Paris Agreement climate goals. Current national policies are projected to result in approximately 2.8°C of warming, exceeding the Paris Agreement's goal of keeping warming well below 2°C and aiming for 1.5°C.

Florida coral reefs are fast collapsing and two of the dominant reef-building corals are now functionally extinct, with no chance of recovery.

We’ll overshoot 1.5°C this decade, and we’re on a direct path to around 2.8°C within a century. That means the end of coral reefs - and once they’re gone, they’re gone, along with the ocean ecosystems they sustain. Species will vanish by the hundreds of thousands.

Saw lots of shit like this during the BLM protests. These people are psychopaths and belong no where near law enforcement.

Republicans would literally die before sharing benefits with figments of their imagination.

"Schumer often points to the fact that he never faces any challenge to his leadership from the Senate Democratic Caucus as a sign of his strength, even if this year he has seen his poll numbers in New York dip lower than they have in the past two decades." Says more about Senate Dems than Chuck.

Bill Gates’s charity has donated more than $3.5 million to a think tank run by the Danish academic and climate crisis denier Bjørn Lomborg, according to U.S. tax records reviewed by DeSmog.

For decades, the EPA let polluters self-report toxic emissions. When real air monitors were finally installed, actual pollution was found up to 156× higher than reported. New rules to fix it were set - until Trump’s EPA halted them, leaving 5 million Americans at greater cancer risk.

"The Democratic Party’s core challenge isn’t that it has moved too far left, but that it doesn’t seem to know what it stands for. The party is collapsing under the weight of its endless focus grouping and message testing without an ideological core to orbit around."

BREAKING: Former FTC chair Lina Khan to serve as co-chair of Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral transition team.

Ackman and other wealthy New York businessmen quickly changed their tune after the angry masses propelled Mamdani to victory in a grassroots groundswell.

The omission speaks volumes.

There's a lot of men in this country who never matured past first grade. And many of them have leadership positions.

Aw 😢

It was a great night for Democrats, but beware of those who will inevitably spin the narrative to suit their purpose. The national party remains deeply unpopular, yet its flailing leadership may try to use last night’s victories to fend off challenges and silence calls for change.

New analysis published in the report shows that between 2000 and 2024, the world’s top 1% captured 41% of all new wealth, while just 1% went to the bottom 50%, amid growing concerns about democratic capture associated with wealth concentration.

I bet Ross Dourthat is fun at parties.

"It’s another blow for media in a year that’s seen noted campus-free-speech-hysteric and Trump apologist Bari Weiss take the reins at CBS News; the Washington Post implode in on itself like a dying star; and the Trump administration choke off funding for public broadcasting."

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

Mamdani already solved the housing crisis. Dude works fast.

Zohran Mamdani, the next mayor of New York City, has a vision that can renew a Democratic Party that’s been fecklessly resistant to change and to the big ideas that will inspire voters, write Katrina vanden Heuvel and @nicholsuprising.bsky.social. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Suck it, Messing

Oof

Dems in ARRAY

Feeling inspired by all the winning so far? runforwhat.net - it's not too late to get on the ballot for 2026.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Paramount will only be producing Daily Wire movies from now on.

Still way too early to predict, but so far, so good.

Decision Desk has called the Georgia PSC race for the Democratic candidates. The polls have been closed for 45 minutes. That's a drubbing.

So, is there an antidote to the blather of the mainstream commentariat? I think there may be and so I try to provide it in my latest post. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Please @aoc.bsky.social - primary this man!

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo? Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.
