That’s uhh insane.

I should’ve learned this by now but DO NOT use FedEx. The diseased monkeys I ordered haven’t arrived and I can’t get a straight answer on what happened to them

And that's... everything. The authors of this report are basically just dressing up as James Carville for Halloween. Policy moderation can never fail. It can only be failed. Some people never grow out of the first time they watched The West Wing. That doesn't mean we have to listen to them.

Oh my god their big bold solution is to *revolutionize* issue polling by providing respondents with pro- and con- arguments and then asking their policy priorities. Kiddos, sit down. It seems like you think voters deeply deliberate on every issue. Why would you think that? Are you... okay?

They don't have an answer, because they don't ask the question. It is 2025. If you are a Democratic Party operative in 2025 and you aren't even looking into media ownership and propaganda effects, then you are either a conman or a mark.

(6) This idea that democrats should abandon trans people and immigrants and climate change (in 2025!) is just unconscionably dumb. Declaring “I’m focused on prescription drug prices” sounds like pandering because it IS pandering. Everyone can tell. Try standing for something. See how it feels.

(5) Stop with the fucking “kitchen table issues!” Yes, people respond well to that line experimentally. But if they actually acted on it then Donald fucking Trump wouldn’t be president right now. Try to have the faintest clue of what sort of apparatus his party network has actually built!

(4) Trump and the Republicans don't have an advantage over Democrats because they *better understand heartland Americans.* They have an advantage over Democrats because they created their own universe of propaganda outlets, and then went out and bought all the mainstream outlets. Duh.

harry reid straight up said "mitt romney cheats on his taxes and i can prove it," and he didn't cheat, and he couldn't prove it, and it was a story for almost a month, and the democrats somehow did not learn that they can just say "donald trump is a pedophile"

Newspapers parsing the most legalistic and parsimonious reading of a statement to create a narrative of deception in the age of trump is pretty rich.

"Dress for the job you want, not the job you have"

It is outrageous that Trump refuses to release the $5 billion to fund SNAP and feed our children. The good news is that 11 Republicans are joining all Democrats to demand that we feed American children. Let’s bring that bill to a vote on the floor immediately.

This was Vladimir Guerrero Jr. when this game started

My tv just tried to tap out

it's cool to see that this game's starting pitcher is still hanging in there

well, the world series is over now

It’s baseball

Joe Buck already called MNF and flew home

GOD IS LAUGHING AT US

you know what would have me nice and cozy in bed right now? fuckin ghost runner

one of these individuals is the greatest athlete i will ever see and the other is afraid of tomatoes

What if, and hear me out here, what if the United States of America is the wealthiest country on this planet and, indeed, the wealthiest country the world has ever known because it refuses to feed its hungry, house its homeless, care for its sickest and clothe its poorest?!?!

That’s gonna be an incompletion and that should be bullshit

Clealry "America First" is whatever they want it to mean, whatever serves their interests at any given moment.

I’m normally tush push agnostic but its a broken play if thats not a fumble

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino) to the Aurora Police following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests So here it is!

Trump last month: “If something happens really bad, just blame AI.” gizmodo.com/trump-blames...

It’s a hell of a grift the Mattys Yglesias and Ezras Klein of the world have; your Davids French, your Conors Friedersdorf. So conveniently confused about the most obvious things yet so certain about the most laughable nonsense. Always interested in seeking answers, yet so allergic to finding any.

Who needs Newsmax when CNN is the same thing now

If there was ever a moment for a player to bet on himself, now is the time.

Silicon Valley is worthless. They used to make shit now every company is some AI grift. Every fucking one. No talent there anymore. Just huckster losers remaking the same scam over and over.

Some of the little ones can be soothed with a juice box; others with a tariff.

"The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation is reviewing its legal options..." what? their own website says (and the national archives confirm) the address is in the public domain.

saw it mentioned the first quote was 'taken out of context' but i do not think a 'ballroom' should be any priority at all for the president of the united states

oh no chargers fans out in full force

@talsmith.bsky.social curious your thoughts on Obamacare.

Just amazing they don't even care about a facade of seriousness anymore.

Whatever happened to let the decision stand?

Corruption goes courtside.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

I respect that there are no perfect candidates and purity tests lead to political stasis but also I’d really love it if more politicians could overcome the very minor barrier of “never did Nazi shit”
