Partly this is because he's an entitled asshole who finds other people's suffering annoying. But it's also because he's a mindless automaton who glitches out if the script changes.

OK. Got it. Use sandwiches and inflatable frogs. In my notes. apnews.com/article/sand...

The Secretary of Health walked away.

There is not an anti-Hitler wing in Donald Trump's Republican Party because Donald Trump is not anti-Hitler.

It would be cheaper to train more human radiologists, and they consume a lot less water.

One of the most powerful women in the world, and this shit still happens to her.

This is really smart

Punditry is guesswork. Polling is speculation. Elections are facts.

They see the iceberg but have no interest in turning the ship.

This election is going to leave Trump with no alternative but to demolish the rest of the White House.

Vote for me because I've done terrible things.

Hopescrolling. We need to do more of that.

This is the result that really makes me think the rank and file are going to resist Trump doubling down. Massive shifts to Democrats all across Virginia. State Republicans toying with gerrymandering are going to hit the brakes thinking about what a similar shift would mean to their own seats.

He has no other play but more of the same, which is why we're going to win.

Put this one on upset watch. This is a Trump +20 district.

I'll go ahead and say it. Texas book banners got their butts kicked in tonight's school board elections. Again.

Texas redistricting backfire coming?

Mamdani has won more votes than the entire population of any of the 5 smallest states.

I expect to see Schumer's resignation letter on my desk in the morning.

The message of tonight is that Trump is beatable and fascism isn't inevitable.

Greg is right.

I assume that all the pundits who insisted it was going to be surprisingly close will be submitting their resignations in the morning.

Texas Democrats watching the election results from around the country.

Democrats who think Mamdani is unacceptable need to ask themselves why Trump and Musk do too.

This was Beto 2018 in Texas. So many connections/friendships made, so people stayed in organizing. We’re still deep in the weeds down here, even more so now that they’re making us a major cog in the deportation machine, but I got to see what this could look like on that campaign & haven’t forgotten.

I literally attended a canvassing shift because Greg posted about it and got to meet Naomi Klein in person! Also I learned Max preferred door-knocking over being at a poll site.

Antisemitism won't wash off.

Some of this stuff isn't actually terrible, but voting against everything the Texas Legislature voted for is a reliable shortcut.

In case it's not already clear, they are going to try to steal every election going forward

A very specific and heartfelt good morning to Natalie Maines

Darth Vader, one of the most polarizing Sith lords in Imperial history, has died.

Cheney is widely remembered as only the second sitting vice president in American history to shoot somebody.

Bruce Springsteen at the NYPL Library Lions dinner tonight singing my favorite of his songs, Thunder Road. I met him but resisted the temptation to ask to take a picture with him. Regret?

If wife’s directing their husband’s work is disqualifying then the entirety of all knowledge produced by American academia prior to the 1970s is suspect.

Hey everyone! Can I get 50 reposts for this program? It would mean a lot! www.jccsf.org/event/michae... #RecipesfromtheAmericanSouth

“People often ask me how it is possible to photograph such atrocities. I have to work with a veil over my mind. In photographing the murder camps, the protective veil was so tightly drawn that I hardly knew what I had taken until I saw prints of my own photographs.” -- Margaret Bourke-White, 1963

UT Austin students are amazing.

It seems significant that redistricting in California requires broad public approval while redistricting in Texas only needed half the legislature.

I almost but don't quite feel sorry for the guy.

I want the next Democratic president to post IRS agents outside country clubs.

Well researched deep dive by the excellent education reporter Lily Kepner

Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc. Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.

We made a point of teaching about the Holocaust so people would never forget and it would never happen again. Turns out we may have been teaching them how to do it.

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable

Whenever he explains something it is because he just learned it

I'd like to see wider use of the term "wealth hoarders."

I will not, as discussed before, read another single story that is clutching pearls about people's reproductive choices. But every time I see one, I'll remind you that there is no economic problem that cannot be solved with immigration and/or taxing wealth hoarders.

Yes, there is antisemitism on the left. No, it is not the same.

• Pardoned the "Camp Auschwitz" guy. • Dined with Holocaust deniers. • Said Jews who vote Democrat "hate their religion." • Silent when young Republicans "love Hitler." • Silent when Heritage backs Carlson/Fuentes. It's not a coincidence. It's a culture.
