The way Tucker is talking about Trump is the way Trump talked about GWB, the way Pat Buchanan talked about GHWB, the way the Reagan boosters talked about Gerald Ford in 1976, and the way the Goldwater fans of 1964 spoke about Nixon and Eisenhower. This is just the right wing ratchet at work.

Today's event featuring @columbiauniversity.bsky.social historian, Christopher Brown and @baruch.cuny.edu historian, Alexander Manevitz examined how US independence and reactions to it framed larger debates on slavery and abolition in the revolutionary era.
Is someone going to tell him that the flu killed more US troops in WWI than any battle did (and that war had chemical weapons so horrific that they were banned afterwards)?
First, stop it. We are <constantly> looking in the mirror & if you haven’t done any of the trainings or gone to any of the talks/meeting about that, I can’t help you.
Second, we don’t have time. We’re constantly meeting about how to survive as 25% of our budget is illegally cut off by the fascists.
Poorest 20%: tax increase
Middle class: tax increase
Richest 1%: tax cut
Don’t worry, they said it trickles down.
this is my main covid opinion
49ers general manager John Lynch said the team is using AI to evaluate draft picks. “The cool thing is you don’t need to be an expert.”
Good luck to the Niners!
Spain has recently outpaced the US in GDP growth, emerging as one of the fastest-growing major advanced economies. As of 2024–2025, Spain’s economy is growing at a rate over 3% annually, exceeding the US (~2%) and Eurozone (~1%) averages.
Donald is such an uninformed idiot.
A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.
65 yrs after first one, Trump's 'Bay of Pigs' may take many forms

My hypothesis about the origin of the dowdy, censorious librarian figure is the librarian was often the highest ranking, best educated woman in lots of communities and therefore had to be cut down to size in a society deeply uncomfortable with women exercising authority.

Este ha sido el verdadero fraude electoral.
During the entire insane scene where he yelled at aides, blamed Europe for not helping, and worried about comparisons to Carter's Iran crisis, Donald Trump continued to obsess about his ballroom, and mused about giving himself the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration in US history.
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
All these right wingers who converted to Catholicism in adulthood were just shopping around for an ideology that justified their pre-existing instincts and prejudices. If you convince them that Catholicism means peace and charity they'll just drop it and keep shopping.
Mike Nellis @MikeNellis "I'M NO LONGER CATHOLIC!" Hannity ABANDONS HIS FAITH for Trump NELLIS X.com • +*+
Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism
It's nice to have definitive proof that the conservative Supreme Court justices view SCOTUS as a supra-legislature that can unilaterally hem in liberal policies.
Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion.
I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.
Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.
NEW: North Carolina election officials admitted they don’t have evidence that noncitizens on the voter rolls are a widespread problem.
The admission comes just one day after the GOP-led state election board voted to move forward with plans to share voter data with the DHS. https://bit.ly/4cR06FL
It will never stop pissing me off how much trump is going to walk away from this presidency as a “real” billionaire in a way he never was before, and it is going to be solely because of the public office
Democrats planning to run in November’s midterm elections have been advised not to antagonise pro-AI campaign groups that have amassed more than $300mn to fight for the industry’s priorities. The warnings by top party consultants, corroborated by people close to four different campaigns and party strategists speaking on the condition of anonymity, come despite internal polling for Democrats showing widespread public support for tougher AI rules.
They're calling it the best democracy ever.

Literally everyone except Trump's psycho red-hatted base hates him.
Surely NYT can find a few to interview in diners?

Sid Rosenberg @sidrosenberg19 X.com l'll be 59 on Sunday:) For the first time ever I'm sporting a Yankee jersey as I make my way to the Bronx. The official transition from a life long Met fan to a Yankee fan is now underway. Like my friend @CGasparino once wrote "Go Woke, Go Broke!" The Mamdani Mets are too WOKE for me! See ya at the Stadium soon fans!
Absolutely dying at right-wing radio host Sid Rosenberg getting so angry that Mr. and Mrs. Met hugged @mayor.nyc.gov that he started calling them antisemites and became a Yankees fan.
More perfect union: BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters. The motion passed 50-49, and now goes to Donald Trump’s desk.
Republicans just handed the Boundary Waters to a foreign corporation.
For the GOP, it’s foreign billionaires first, America last.
Elise Stefanik and every other lobotomized MAGA can spew lies all day on Pope Leo for being “political,” but I’m old enough to remember when the GOP intentionally co-opted the Church to turn Catholics against Democrats over parochial schools and abortion.

Lots of commentary on Leo focuses on Chicago roots and Augustinian training. But people are overlooking the fact that he and Francis spent most of their formative years ministering under authoritarian regimes, and that has shaped a *lot* of the Vatican's strategies and iniatives in the past 10 yrs
