This is officially one of the strangest pictures in American history, and I do not doubt that it will be considered iconic a hundred years from now. 100% serious here.

I don't know who this guy is, but I certainly hope he is okay. That was hard to watch. I also want to agree with those who noted how bizarre it is that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., seeing a tragedy unfold before him, hauled ass out of the room like George Costanza during a fire. What a nauseating man.

Please note this: Raising the "salience" of immigration actually worked in Dems' favor in one of the most important swing counties in the country. This is more grist for the idea that attacking Trump is succeeding among the nonwhite working class (see thread below).

This is a real post from a longtime journalist, presented here without comment other than to say that I know for a fact that there is indeed much worse for people to learn about Trump and Epstein than the already horrifying fact that there are photos of Trump with topless young girls

I would like to run for President of the United States on a one-issue platform: undoing every change Donald Trump has made to the White House and putting it back the way it was

I need someone to tell me that this is not real That the most important building in America has not been turned into a sleazy 80s AC casino

They cannot pronounce the words "Mamdani" or "Kamala" and do not know the actual name of the party they oppose, but sure, I bet Mike Johnson has a solid lit-crit handle on what neo-Marxism is as he calls the retirement of an 85-year-old tellingly precipitous

NatC works too

This is the first article I've ever seen about the Knockos. (That is, National Conservatives—whose endgame is a jackbooted Big Government knocking on your door to oversee whether you're white enough, Christian enough, straight enough, and ideologically pure enough to remain a first-class citizen.)

Goodnight, all. Sleep well and wake brave.

You have got to actually be f*cking kidding me

TIL that when the Beatles first came to America there was still someone alive in the US who'd been born into slavery here The fact that I'm only in my 40s and missed by only a decade or so being alive at the same time as a former American slave further brings home for me just how recent slavery was

Feeling triumphant and hopeful? Me too. But we're not out of the woods yet. Not by a mile. Yesterday was a crucial, but small, battle win in a really scary war to take down our democratic Republic. But the public beast is awakening. Another well researched take from @sethabramson.bsky.social.

Important to read, Seth describes an angle that many have not considered.

Apparently the internet has figured out that the new Oval Office signage and gilding is at base a literal meme template

New Hampshire just *cannot* stop hitting the Top 10 in basically every ranking

Music break!

Communism was clearly not a topic on the dementia exam.

Two guys with the exact same taste in interior decor are Donald Trump and Uday Hussein

Just a heads up: the lengthy PROOF post-election report is coming out tonight (Wednesday) between 8PM and 9PM ET, and my read of the key takeaways is slightly different than what others are offering... perhaps very different... so hopefully folks will give it a chance before getting too angry at me.

The White House—which we pay for—looks more like an Epstein-inspired child rape bordello every day, given that the only people who'd be impressed by the fake gold snot above this door or the tacky, miscolored $4-font signage beside it are kids or the sort of predator who tries to lure kids somewhere

Dammit I need to *go to bed*, I don't have time for these maddening existential conundra

Trump just having a totally normal and chill Election Day in which he got his ass handed to him in every state

WOMP WOMP

What just happened tonight:

(🚨) With the Zohran Mamdani win in New York City, we can now say that Trump and his Republican Party won a total of ZERO of the major candidate races on Election Day 2025. It was an utter blowout. (Some ballot issues, including a key one in California, have not reported any votes yet.)

Alina Habba and her client/boss have the same credibility on election integrity as Julia Stiles on hacking

He really is just an orange goblin banging on a keyboard

If only major media would pounce on a story like this and not let it go. Remember how they drove Biden off the ticket?! If only we saw half the tenacity Seth delivers from MSM! Great read on a significant impeachable offense by Trump amongst his daily offenses!

The American Right is utterly lost. These are people who insist they're smarter than us but pretend to be unable to pronounce the words "Kamala," "Mamdani," or "Democratic Party" (as opposed to the incorrect "Democrat Party"). They invade and bankrupt US cities while giving $40 billion to Argentina.

Wow. If you aren’t following Seth, you are missing out.

Evanston is one of the greatest municipalities in America

*The president is all powerful and can fire civil servants, impound spending, redirect money and deploy troops despite numerous constitutional and legal restrictions but he can't spend emergency money for food stamps set aside specifically for shutdowns* is all-time amazing messaging.
