Martin, Schumer, Jeffries, Harris really sat down, looked at this data, and thought "wow I really like where that green line is headed, let's hitch our entire future to that!"

IDK how I only just realized Schumer and Jeffries wouldn't be my pick to run a political party even if you limited me to "teammates named Chuck and Hakeem"

Great job Chuck and Hakeem.

I know I'm going to hell for laughing at this. I know that. But just.... here.

lol, can we get some figures on global deaths caused by American-made weapons, and some analysis of what it means to declare the US is at war with every country on the list?

I think 100% of US casualties in Iraq were caused by the US government invading and occupying Iraq.

Imagine a GenZer, whose entire life has occurred under this dumbassery, trying to watch some 1992 movie where a room full of civic minded (if imperialist) bureaucrats sit around a table smartly debating options

It might as well be set on Mars for all the similarity it bears to their life experience

One of my morbid hobbies in these horror times is taking 80s/90s political thrillers and imagining Trumpism in place of neoliberalism.

oh hey, turns out one individual senator can completely shut down the US Senate any time they want to. Has anyone told Chuck Schumer this?

Shitlib talking heads 5 minutes after seeing one of those "here's how short Iranian skirts were before 1979" memes

"Journalism"

American military bases have more human rights than Iranian humans

Just gonna take an uneducated guess that "the government suggests being more open minded about which bits of the animal you consume" has not historically been a good omen for the sitting regime in the next election.

"Democrat landslide in midterms would spell 'the end of Trump's presidency,' says Mike Johnson."

Big fan of the exceedingly rare occasion when both sides of a US election are making the exact same pitch.

Well. That's certainly a choice. For all involved. Becoming a rightwing chud has been so great for so many stars. Like, uh. IDK.

Just remember this in a couple years when Majors is shirtless in jeans benchpressing RFK in the sauna for regime PSAs about why polio is great actually.

One wonders when this full blown nazism from the GOP will move from "getting" concerning to "actually" concerning, even, potentially, to "bad."

2040? By the 2052 election at the latest?

Robby Soave has lived his whole life and only just now had the thought that the rightwing is full of antisemites. Perceptive, bro.

Also worth pointing out that Robby had absolutely no problem with Nick Shirley making up racist propaganda against Somalis but now he's "pretty darn concerned"

If only there were some quicker, punchier way to say "makes false claims." Like if only we had a single word that could convey that idea.

Why is liberal media so insistent on never calling Trump a liar?

If only the English language had a shorter, punchier, more efficient way of saying "an instance of providing an account that later proved outright wrong."

Like if only we had a single, three letter word that captures all of that.

"Rogue" must have tested well in the shitlib focus groups this week. One problem: they're absolutely NOT rogue agents. They're behaving exactly as the government trains and orders them to. I understand why that's an uncomfortable place for BarryO to be, considering his years of promoting Homan.

Wouldn't it be unsettling to find out one of these regime officials was smart and kind and and beloved by people close to them?

Anyway, Kristi Noem had her bf (she's married) fire a pilot for forgetting her blankie, then had to rehire him when she figured out someone needed to fly the plane back.

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.

It was a "sideshow," I was told.
