Dukakis Dude

Worked with Toth's office a few times in my time working in the TX lege. He is weird. Very right-wing. Totally devoid of charisma.

The wipeout for Hancock is surprising. Huffines is a true nut but I suppose he has decent name recognition.

Mrs. Simmons? We regret to inform you that your son was epically pwned in Kuwait. Semper Fi or whatever.

> Trump is calling on the kurds

Yeah man we should definitely start funding and backing random sectarian actors in the 100,000,000 population country that we just decapitated with no plan whatsoever for its future

Tweet on X by Amir Kiyae reads: Strikes on Iran appear to have hit the home where opposition leaders Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard have been held under house arrest - both are reported safe, but their residence was damaged. Former President Ahmadineiad's home was also targeted. Israel has stated it is targeting Iranian leaders "past, present, and future." This follows previous Israeli strikes on Evin Prison. Draw your own conclusions,

Home of reformist opposition leaders from 2009 Green Movement, Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard was also hit by Israeli/US strikes. They have been under house arrest by the regime for over a decade.

Besides requiring unusual cohesion from Dems at this stage in the 2028 cycle, the drawback of this strategy is that it encourages the admin to go harder re: interfering with the 2028 election to avoid future accountability

Democrats could disrupt the calculus of private actors by clearly coming out and saying: we will unwind corrupt mergers, enforce FCPA retrospectively, investigate deals withs law firms/universities, reinstate tailpipe emissions standards, etc.

Just make clear there will be hell to pay.

welcome to our trash revolution @trash_panda97 x.com i've been on the subway with homeless people that peed, screamed, all sorts of stuff. it was mildly uncomfortable but truly didn't impact my day in any way. maybe your husband needs to toughen up daniela @daniela_127•3d My husband was on a crowded train yesterday when a homeless woman got on, pulled down her pants, and peed all over the train in front of everyone. He hasn't stopped talking about it for the past 24+ hrs. It is the single most traumatizing thing that's happened to hi...

American leftism will never achieve power if the response to getting peed on while taking public transit is “toughen up”

public spaces should be safe and pleasant, and that shouldn’t be a hot take

What Europeans also don't realize is that they have the political leverage. In a market-moving US-EU economic spat, European voters would back their leaders, as they want to punch the US bully. Americans would just be exasperated. We'd think this was dumb why and blame Trump for it. Hence, TACO.

If they are strategically voting why not just stay in the R primary to shore up Cornyn rather than running interference for Crockett.

The U.S. pivot to Asia has failed, and “the constraints U.S. policymakers tried to place on China’s regional influence are giving way,” writes @zackcooper.bsky.social. “Military deterrence is all that remains of U.S. strategy in Asia.”

PIMCO: “.. the fact that Congress is having a hard time doing the very bare minimum – i.e., funding the government successfully – speaks to the lack of functioning of the institution .. Indeed, this most recent full Congress (ended Jan 2025) passed the fewest bills into law since the civil war ..”

Also, here’s a photo of people dying to defend a “multicultural economic zone”

Not opposed to voter ID—lib opposition has always been overwrought—but SAVE Act is far more than a national voter ID bill.

Odds that he has sat in bed with that gun in his mouth =>99%

Less than 5 years ago.

What’s striking is that their desired end state omits traditional conservative values like family, faith, entrepreneurship, community, etc—it’s about social control and conquest, explicit in the nostalgia for fascism

Fukuyama has recognized that China’s one-party technocracy does pose a potential viable challenge now, right?

This from @jeremiahdjohns.bsky.social is correct. The End of History is a great book.

Not only were the results disorderly and unpopular but it created a vast population of migrants with weak legal protections vulnerable to the human rights abuses of the current administration

True. But Trump wouldn’t have had the chance if the administration didn’t wait 3 years to meaningfully reduce migration volume at the border.

liberal interpretation of asylum law, broad expansion of TPS, and various schemes to manage irregular migration across the southern border that incentivized a high volume of economic migrants.

Biden immigration policy was electoral kryptonite. Democrats are still reaping the damage in public opinion.

My expectation for this is they'll make a big show of rolling out the goon squad outside a handful of locations, the states will seek and likely get emergency injunctions, and meanwhile the whole spectacle will only motivate way more people to show up and vote in defiance than are scared away.

lib hate boner for the NYT is way overdone

it’s a mid paper, quality wise, compared to FT but they are not running interference for Trump as alleged
