Not since Bull Connor have we seen such PR masterminds.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

The other thing is that Megyn Kelly is so obviously a dullard that engagement with her allows you to maintain a sense of superiority. For all of your talk of this place being a silo, @chatterton.bsky.social, you essentially refuse to engage with anyone who is an actual critic of your worldview.

The only reason you think arguing with Megyn Kelly is more productive than arguing with me is that the two times you've argued with me you've been embarrassed.

I can still recall all the tut-tutting from the media when Harris made this argument.

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Alabama had 717 murders in 2023, with a population around 3.5 million less than NYC.

This quote is from a piece that’s 8 years old now.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

You know you don’t HAVE to report on this. It isn’t news.

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*

The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

No one should have to face such threats.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

"Is it not the Republican Party that's added a quarter of all debt in Trump's first term and added $4 trillion because of this budget?"

Mick Mulvaney: "I'm not gonna debate a podcaster."

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

Simon Maechling & @simonmaechling Follow RFK Jr is set to announce Tylenol causes autism. And then he'll push the "cure": leucovorin (folinic acid). Who sells folinic acid? Dr. Oz's supplement company, iHerb. The same Dr. Oz who is now the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in Trump's administration. Think about that: A government health official tied to the very supplement company that benefits from RFK Jr's bogus "cure." This isn't public health. It's corruption dressed up as wellness.

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

Call me crazy, but I would check with a doctor about that wacky stuff Trump said yesterday before making any decisions

This is great!

This is why they’re deleting studies

under this language charlie kirk would not have been allowed to speak on clemson’s campus

(Post missed fg) VERY different

I have to assume Konrardy was just trying something new on the PAT #bluecy

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode deficits

3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They all died when the U.S. stopped sending medicine to Sudan.

the amount of contempt vance has for everyone he's talking to — such that he'll say obvious nonsense as if he's fooling you — is genuinely remarkable

Even though they’re in the minority, Congressional Democrats have a lot of tools they can use here.

In addition to showing up at detention centers etc, Dems can grind the Senate to a halt, push impeachment articles against Noem in the House, and more.

Flood the zone.

My heart breaks for trans kids, who do not deserve this obsessive animus that adults are directing at them.

It's hard to show in a picture but this crowd is HUGE. I have it on good authority that it's "way bigger" than Hands Off.

#NoKings #DesMoines

Shortly after the Atlanta #nokings event kicked off at 10, organizers said Liberty Plaza near the state Capitol had already reached maximum capacity of 5,000.
