What worries me is when storms start doing this they also have a tendency to move in unexpected directions. Right now, it's better that Melissa traveled a bit west of where she was initially thought to, however the wobbles that will happen as this storm bombs again may make that meaningless

hey there. need some random help. if you're in Havre de Grace, MD and can do a favor for the Bulwark, please send a DM. thanks!

She should run up bonkers numbers against the competition she has, which makes Sherill's run all the more embarassing.

Was worried about the MSNBC rebrand.. but whomever thought up "Same mission. New name." is brilliant. Great looking modern logo too.

I'm going to say something that some may disagree with, but Ruben Gallego is vice presidential material, not presidential. While Trump has reversed it, the VP is typically the one that gets out there and mixes it up, while the president stays above the fray. He's too good with words for president.

Was reading a story regarding AI and its apparent new tendency in some models to attempt to avert shutdown. One of the models that was the worst offenders was Grok. Really makes you think what exactly they're doing with that. I am heartened though that it appears the model itself is rejecting...

I don't think that's the point. As a journalist myself, I'd be asking these questions too, because the interviewee is almost certain to give you a useable quote. You WANT him to talk. A case isn't built on physical evidence alone. A reminder that many of Trumps recent issues are a result of this...

Apple shareholders.. y'all are the most liberal. Time to pin Tim Cook to a wall. He's funding fascism. Would Steve Jobs like this?

Jesus Christ.. in every still shot, Jeffries looks... dead. like there's nothing there.

There is NO WAY Jeffries endorsed Mamdani without OUTSIDE influence. NONE. I would like to know who or what it was. Get to work Lefty indy media!

Trump may have inadvertently launched the campaign for another 2028 possibility. This is outstanding. And she speaks with conviction. You need to do what you say, and believe it too. With Hillary and Kamala, they would say things, and then backtrack or muddle them. I really think she should consider

What I think is happening here is an honest attempt by Trump and his cronies to trigger a 1/6 in reverse when he fails to leave.. so that they can complete the destruction of the American democratic system. But what they don't realize, is they likely have a little over a year left.

Yeah, but don't mention that every other candidate is either UNPOPULAR or WAY BEHIND. Excellent analysis. So guess we're writing off Maine

The Bluesky response to this NBA betting scandal is disgusting, to say the least.

BLUESKY… DO NOT DEFEND ILLEGAL GAMBLING BECAUSE YOU HATE KASH PATEL … Jesus Christ!!!!!

It’s time for Governor Shapiro to ask for Fettermans resignation.

The level of criminality from Trump is approaching treason.

This might be a smart segway from healthcare. Put this back in the news. Embarrass them to the table. Pressure from all angles.

This is the liberal firebrand you should have coming out of city like San Francisco, not Nancy Pelosi. Like, wow. No wonder this guy is doing so well.. that was like, well, don't know how you respond to that.. let's go to break. lol

You want to make a comment, make sure you have your history right, folks.

So was I, and actually saw the genesis of this on LIVE TV. The "Tea Party" name came from Santoli's rant, for christ's sake. Whatever, but to call it completely Koch run was not accurate at all. Koch stepped in later to fund it, but it started on the net. But fuck facts right now right?

This is a common misreading of history. Koch stepped in about 2-3 months in, when it was clear it had legs. The Tea Party WAS a grassroots movement, that was co-opted. Tea Party early rallies were no more "sponsored" then the groups working now with No Kings...

It's time for a class action lawsuit to stop this damn ballroom. Trump has NO right to demolish ANY part of the White House.

Really kind of the unwritten benefit of these things that nobody talks about. These are almost needed to keep you positive.

If I was an administration official, I'd be shitting my pants right now. Likely well north of 5 million people (looks like 10% of that in NYC alone). This is a sign that regardless of the polls, voters are in no way happy with the current administration. I'd be thinking 1994/2010 wipeout in reverse.

Hate to say it, but a forced peace between these two sides is the only option. And if it means driving Hamas out of Gaza, then it needs to be done. The world is correctly taking Israel out of the equation. Should have happened months ago.

There really needs to be an alternative to Mediaite. Over time it’s getting increasingly less objective and increasingly more Trump friendly. Not a coincidence that NewsNation also has done the same

Have only been on discord a week but already annoyed by the folks admins give special privileges in servers then feel like they can tell people what to talk about.. uhhh.. you are taking this a bit far. Instant block

Oh, I would love this. (and so would a good portion of DSA members, because there is massive overrepresentation of non-electoralism in the org that has become really bad since 2021)

All I can say is bye bitch, and fuck you for what you did to interparty politics along the way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_YM...

Israel can never be allowed on the world stage as a trusted partner in anything again. The punishment for the attempted genocide after Jews themselves went through the Holocaust is unacceptable. It is quite possible when the dead are counted, the percentage of Palestinians murdered may be as bad.

Looking like a really bad loss for the Eagles, that's been about 2 or 3 games coming. Offense needs to be way way better

Calling it the Battle of Broadview is honestly not far from the truth. Also can never say something like this when you're in it, but this particular moment feels like something decades from now that will be talked about as one of those pivot points in history. ICE declared war on Broadview. Period.

Okay, I know AI is verboten on here, but I am kinda a fan of Perplexity's Comet browser. Based on Chrome (Chromium), but damn does it work way better on my mac than chrome does.

Trump is in big shit if Rassmussen is starting to join reality. This is some incredible deteoriation in just a few days www.rasmussenreports.com/public_conte...

What is really different about the media in this shutdown is the constant pushback on the "healthcare for illegals" shtick. I don't remember this level of pushback against a GOP shutdown narrative in the 20+ years I've been following politics.

This should include refusing to leave after refusing unconstitutional orders. Take a damn stand.

There is special energy around this man. How many times have you watched a press conference interrupted by hecklers, but supporters seeing Zohran and wishing him well? THIS is what's scaring the establishment. People are HAPPY to vote for once!

Omg Jen Welch is going around to all the Millennial and zoomer pods right now and I'm loving it ...

Saw a term on Daily Kos (I know, why the fuck am i on there), but love it. Vichy Democrats. Claim to be progressive, but are so morally and ethically compromised that they're no better than the GOP. John Fetterman comes to mind

Looks pretty clear that this shutdown might be very damaging. Dems need to start pre-messaging this, including why they aren't going to negotiate with unserious people.

I am completely for banning this type of social media content. Mr. Beast is a fucking fraud, and keeps getting away with it. How many times is this guy going to rip somebody off, lie, cheat, not come through before he gets cut off?

You wanted this, because part of the exit of this is not protecting those guilty of crimes against humanity from the ICC. And we'll be joining the ICC as well, so that future zealots have the fear of international law in them.

I never agreed with #DemExit before, but my god if Schumer caves again, I'm out.

Absolute queen moment right here.

I hate to say it, but at some point, we need to put some trust in the Democratic leaders like Newsom, Pritzker, Bowser, and others on the front lines. Congress and SCOTUS are useless. States' rights still matter. And if SCOTUS overturns that, then it's time to ignore rulings and enforce the law.

We need to start calling house reps relentlessly and demand that Jeffries be told to step down or face a no confidence vote. This is not going to change unless the base starts doing something more than just bitching.

This will be tossed before trial. And a Trump appointed judge would toss it too. It's embarassingly flimsy.

It's time to shut EVERYTHING down. Democrats should be looking at legal manuvers to start court orders to ban people like Russell Vought from sending ANY emails during the shutdown. He should not be working, the government is shut. Play hardball. The country is fed up with this.

We need a restraining order against this president. I'm serious. If Congress won't stop it, the courts must.
