God, what a warmongering piece of shit Brett McGurk is.

The SAVE America Act is a burdensome solution in search of a problem that doesn’t exist, at least in any meaningful form.

Along with everything else, fascism's branch offices continue to conduct their war on women jessica.substack.com/p/kentucky-c...

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis. snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...

You want to know how bad our media sucks? NPR has opened its flagship All Things Considered as follows: - Karoline Leavitt screeching about perfidious Democrats; - quoting Kristi Noem calling Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist; - reading a Trump tweet belittling and lying about Governor Walz.

The main thing I have had hammered home by the past ten years in politics is that we really need pretty much every government office to be run by boring and anonymous nerds who you will never once hear about in the news

6/ So Trump went to Xi to surrender. Trump rolled back the tariffs, paused the new restrictions, and in exchange Xi made a vague commitment to buy some soybeans and start exporting some minerals. Xi had now proven that he could win a trade war with Trump. An embarrassment.

Turned on NPR while running errands. 10 solid minutes of pure-cut, straight-up, pro-Trump copaganda. It’s like they want America to be a fascist state.

Everyone should watch this speech by MI Senator Elisa Slotkin: youtu.be/fnUO0Plcpbo?... Call your senators and demand that they support her bill.

How do we know Bari values diversity of thought? On her website you can find men saying conservative things, women saying conservative things, queer people saying conservative things and minorities saying conservative things!

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Jesus Christ, @msnbc.com Not five minutes into Ari Melber’s show, and you’re using Trump’s horrendous speech yesterday to… …bash Democrats? You want to know how we got here? Look in a fucking mirror. Jesus Christ?

Any sociopath who is still trying defend your vote against Kamala Harris-and this includes you idiots who thought it was a great idea to stay home- you better own all of this mess. Bc you’re all so ignorant that you don’t even know you haven’t seen nothing yet. They will blow up the entire world.

Jesus. Just listened to Robert Draper fellate Charlie Kirk on NPR for a solid hour. It’s really not a mystery why we have succumbed to fascism. Worthless shits like Draper are going to be writing encomiums to the fascists from the railroad cars taking them to the camps.

The media is openly and actively involved in misinforming the public about a clear, basic, indisputable fact: Political violence is almost exclusively driven by rightwing ideology.

This is some real normal behavior: bsky.app/profile/patr...

Actusl quote on NPR just now: “President Trump is fine…based in what we’ve been told.”

Anyone who doesn't believe that voting is fundamentally about harm reduction lives in a state of blissful ignorance that comes with a body count

Serious Question: how do I get all the bunnies out of my timeline? I’m not a bunny guy, and these bunny posts are multiplying in my timeline like, well, you know..

Nothing could be more perilous to American democracy than going to war under Donald Trump, Robert Kagan writes. theatln.tc/C1DHGxtL

Anyway, I'm convinced White House Correspondents are too bilkered by their own proximity to power to come up with anything meaningful to report other than a second-rate playwright notes.

None of this "We need a positive alternative vision" nonsense. The positive alternative vision is a world without Trump, with MAGA fascists, where things work like they supposed to and used to, where the economy grows instead of shrinks, where the laws are followed, where the Constitution matters.

This is a good article because it isn't a mere victory lap, but a good explanation of *how* the "alarmist liberals" among us got it right. (And I'm not saying it is good just because I too have been chided online and in person for being one of those "alarmist liberals" myself.)

Credit where it’s due: the Democrats are doing a smart, aggressive, focused job of playing up the Trump-Hegseth scandal. Remember, your job as a political activist is to step up and amplify the Democrats, not to sit back and grade their work. So go amplify them.

White House says no one will be fired over the Signal scandal because no one involved was trying to cure cancer.

People would still like Musk if: a.) They liked him before, b.) He were not a Putinist and a white supremacist, c.) He were not cruelly targeting the most vulnerable and laughing about it, d.) He were not constantly lying about what he is doing, e.) He was not constantly breaking the law...

I’ll go to my grave believing Harris ran a very good campaign and lost because of factors that were baked in long before she became the nominee

We have a clearer path to energy abundance than we do to AGI, and it's likely to be upon us sooner, and it will be as or more transformative to human civilization, and we talk about it about 1/1000 as much.

NEW: Sen. Joni Ernst had relationships with two military officials who lobby her committee, according to sources. “From an ethics standpoint, it’s severely problematic,” one former legislative affairs official said. www.propublica.org/article/joni...

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

Well, NPR is full Trump-fellatio mode waiting for him to speak on the DC plane crash. The execrable Tamara Keith actually talked about how much effort Trump put into consoling victims of the floods in NC and the California wildfires.

First question from a U.S. reporter after Biden’s announcement of the Gaza ceasefire: why won’t you give Trump more credit for what you did?

NPR just informed me that Trump wasn’t lying during the campaign. He was just leaving himself “wiggle room.”

Again, the Koch Brothers think Hegseth was not fit to run a medium-sized non-profit, yet Trump and most Republicans think he should run the biggest military in the world? www.cbsnews.com/news/pete-he...

False. Flag.

I dunno. But I’m starting to question whether a political party willing to overturn the votes of well over 80% of their rank and file because the New York Times and George Fucking Clooney tell them to is worthy of any support at all.

I'm not voting for Joe Biden in November. I'm voting for a set of policies and a vision for America's future. Compare those policies and that vision with the alternative, and if that doesn't get you fired up and ready to go, then I don't know what to say.

Is there anything more maddening than listening to journalists speculate as to why Americans opinions on things like crime and the economy are so disconnected from reality?

Starting to think there are more ads than actual posts at the other place at this point.

Hey, NPR: why is SBF described as “disgraced” despite not being convicted of crimes which there is overwhelming evidence he committed, yet a certain orange-complected demagogue in the exact same set of circumstances is not?
