He's right! Do you know that?

The meltdown is so delightful that I can almost smell flowers through my phone.

Holy shit.

What are we gonna wake up to? After getting served in Virginia, he's gonna be in a foul mood, even for him.

I just had a jumpscare when I saw "27" and thought -- oh my God.... *not Roenick" -- but zoomed in to see a Team USA jersey. (In red, oddly.)

Spot on the mark, sir. 🫡

Lee, officially ending the dreams of Southerners wishing for a white ethnostate, at Appomattox. (It held for a while.) Grant, to the right, is giving a deathstare to Lee.

The vibes are awfully familiar.

Donald Trump wanted a showdown, so we gave him a showdown.

I'm sorry. I didn't catch that; I was just doing a spot for ULINE / Griffin Agitprop PAC about how I'm thinking about moving to Indiana. (The crack about the Bears was gratuitous, to be fair.)

What was that about Trump dead-ender hicks who have no capacity for critical reasoning in Virginia, again?

Enthusiasm that Hakeem may be coming off the bench is justified, and natural. We all want it. We know he's got the basic capability required -- hell, you don't get to Congress, much less lead the Caucus, by accident.

This, however, could be and is in fact true, as well.

If we're going down, we're going down swinging. But we ain't going down.

I know that by, say, Mother's Day, Hakeem is probably gonna give in on something notable because, well, he's done it before.

Right now? I'm with the guy.

God help me if it looks foolish, but WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.

At this point: "affordability" is sauce on the steak.

Sauce is nice. (I got this red wine reduction down to a science. Maple syrup, bourbon, red wine vinegar, beef broth, shallots, (Toronto) bay leafs, cab. Baller.)

The steak is STOP THESE GRIFTING SOCIAL DARWINIST BIGOTED FELONIOUS ASSHOLES.

Hakeem's pivoted from blind pragmatism to focus-grouped elevator pitches to welterweight brawler, and back again. Several go-rounds now.

I prefer the last of these three. He should stick with it. It suits him, and us.

MAINUHS!

ASSEMBLE!

(Assembled Mainuhs: "AYUH!")

Adding it to the collection

With the VA yes vote, Democrats will emerge with +1 House seat in the redistricting wars Trump kicked off last summer. They are very, very likely to win back the House in November

Sil, tellin' it like it is: "it's anti-Italian discrimination."

To those who criticize AOC for this, well...

AOC talking to RFK Jr. Her facial and hand gesture has the spiritual energy of that Italian hand gesture where you pinch your fingers and wave your hand (the "ma che vuo" gesture).

how it feels to say "sprezzatura"

Nobody who uncritically reposts this shit doesn't grasp how harmful it is.

(1) Don't spread stuff from known poor actors. MAGA does that. We do not.

(2) Big claims -- and this *fucking* qualifies -- require massive proof.

(3) Old media, which has *some* standards, is ideal.

NOT FUCKING HARD.

Seconded.

Mike Johnson can take the entire couch if he likes, but he in particular has to sit his *whole* ass down on this one.

I would like speak to the regino manager.

(No. Wait. Cheneyed my way into that job. I am the regino manager.)

Uh....

Hi!

👋

How's it going out there?

Two routes: the Iowan independent commission version that *seems* to work, or screw districts altogther and go straight PR. Thoughts?

Kathryn.

The "no" voters in Scott County -- all 6,687 of them -- are fucking morons.

Let us stop humoring these people, as the New York Times does every other day.

They are all idiots.

Every.

Last.

One.

We should not be afraid to say so -- at long last.

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

I like the vibes.

The vibes are good.

Yeah, but you can drink none of it.

IF YOU’RE IN LINE TO GET CONTROL OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, STAY IN LINE

There is none. It is coming from a conspiracy theorist. More than that: he was not in the room. No first-hand knowledge.

Take the original post down.

You are spreading a story that has been debunked to death. Why? For what purpose?

(Y'know what? Save the answer. I'm blocking you regardless.)

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on federal fraud charges related to past use of paid informants The Southern Poverty Law Center has been indicted on federal fraud charges related to its past use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups.

The apparent theory here--SPLC was defrauding donors by paying right-wing extremist org informants, and also took completely legal steps for obscuring the money trail for very obvious reasons on this totally legal thing to do--is ludicrous even by the notoriously malleable standard for wire fraud.
