I find it particularly galling that the reactionary tech oligarchs currently vying to control the world have been talked into fascism by a guru who is one of the dumbest people ever to place one letter after another. bsky.app/profile/seth...

Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.

Unearthed video of Texas 23rd congressional candidate Brandon Herrera wearing a Confederate flag and recruiting for the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

This is who Trump endorsed to replace Tony Gonzales.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Hochul, Van Hollen, Kelly, Whitmer and Booker have all announced various tax cut plans in the last few months. But we are in a different moment. Voters are desperate for change and leadership, not moderation. Very few think more tax cuts are a fix for what feels like a failing system.

The biggest problem with this strategy of trying to sound more Republican is that it's a complete failure. This under 35 battleground skipper explains why. She heard Harris' message just fine, she simply wasn't persuaded by it. A big part of that was the seemingly exclusive focus on tax cuts.

The problem, as this SW Latinx Biden '20/'24 skipper put it in a focus group last year, is that it for so many voters it feels like the world is falling apart. And Dems are not only not talking about solutions. They don't seem to even be aware of the problems.

Overreliance on tax cuts is a continuation of the strategy that Harris attempted in '24, where the campaign + outside groups spent $290M on ads focused on a middle class tax cut. This language and priority is flat, tired, and reinforces right wing frames like "keep more of your hard earned money."

Hi there Katie Porter social staff! 👋🏽 This is a genuinely terrible idea both substantively and politically. Not sure where she got it from but please stop listening to them. We'll write up something more soon but for now here's quick thread on why it won't work. Please pass it along, and up. Thanks!

it is my life’s mission to find the guy who’s pitching “no income taxes below [seemingly upper-middle-class threshold]” to big Dems electeds and hit him with a whiffle bat until he stops doing that

I am begging national media critics to cover what's really happening in Atlanta.

I know the AJC is an active sponsor of journalism conferences so there's some degree of conflict of interest, but the city is in a deep civic crisis.

Trump wants to run America like how Atlanta is being run right now.

Grandma jailed after AI error linked her to crime in state she never visited: lawyer The charges were later dismissed after bank records showed she was in Tennessee at the time

If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this

In 2024 America elected:

• a pedophile & rapist

• a Russian asset

• a pathological liar

• a narcissist bent on revenge & retribution

• an overweight man decaying mentally & physically

• an intellectually incurious moron

• a man bent on destroying laws & the Constitution

This is the result.

Wall art at Union Market in DC reads, “OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY.”

Look closer. Fallen soldiers’ names: Nicole Amor, Declan Coady, Noah Tietjens. Each marked, “DID NOT HAVE TO DIE.”

And at the bottom, the gut punch: “FIGHTING IRAN FOR THE EPSTEIN CLASS.”

It's genuinely terrifying that my country is at war and I can't tell the difference between a press conference by the Secretary of Defense and a pro wrestler hyping an upcoming match.

This is not hyperbole. Hegseth is emotionally incapable and intellectually void and that is an important job.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

This answer is an extension of the Trump sycophancy. They’re programmed to pivot into defend-at-all-costs mode. That’s how you end up with something as morally bankrupt as “this is what they signed up for.”

Imagine responding with anything other than “I am heartbroken for this tragic loss of life.”
