My rule for "bumpin' that" posts: If I am listening to something and say "huh I like this" I post it before the song is over. It's fun when it's a song people discover and love and fun, as here, when it's a song that annoys people.

David Weigel says that a Democratic strategist told him they hope JD Vance comes to do a rally in rural Virginia, lol

Agreed; as someone who strongly supports the YES side, JD Vance should absolutely come to Virginia to rally for the NO side, lol! bluevirginia.us/2026/04/the-... h/t @daveweigel.bsky.social

These look really cool.

Bumpin’ that youtu.be/-izXe9QRZx0?...

There are some great WH reporters but a lot of the First Draft of History part of the job is now rephrasing what Trump posted on Truth Social.

I miss having a functional SEC. I really do.

Of course I wrote “2022” not “2021” in the thread, but you can see the receipts from Gallego campaign explaining what the spend was for (the September retreat, not the June wedding at a different hotel 22 miles away)

oh duh, 33 minutes not miles

What was Swalwell paying for? He's not talking much right now. But Gallego's campaign paid for a hotel in San Juan, about 33 miles from the wedding hotel and 3 days after the wedding, and says (and shows) it was a deposit for an event in September. (5/5)

Swalwell did pay the hotel where the wedding was held on June 7, three days after the wedding. But Gallego campaign paid another hotel, 33 miles away, and has receipts showing that it was a payment for a retreat three months later. (4/5)

Gallego campaign explanation: On June 7, his consultant payed the 2nd of 4 deposits for a September retreat at the Fairmont. It is sharing part of the contract (which shows that the payment was due June 15) and the invite to the retreat, held September 24-25 at the Fairmont. (3/5)

The Daily Mail has an FEC receipt of Gallego for Arizona spending $2000 at the Fairmont El San Juan on Tuesday, June 7, 2022. That day, Swalwell for Congress spent $1,522.11 at the Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve Puerto Rico. Gallego's wedding celebration was June 4 at the Hyatt. (2/5)

The Gallego campaign is responding to this story, with receipts showing that his campaign was paying for a donor retreat, not his wedding. (1/5)

The piece wasn't "leave RBG alone," it was "she's a hardass who resents when experts tell her she's being crazy"

Progressives are in a state of collective delusion about this. Right now unemployment is 4.3%. Inflation is 3%. Real wages have been increasing.

And consumers literally think it's the worst economy IN MODERN HISTORY.

Yes it's funny it's happening to Trump. But it will (and did) happen to us, too!

I'll defend Emily's actual angle here - Ginsburg resented being told to retire, and nudging her just made her dig in.

Of course, the people nudging her were correct.

Oh totally - Carter never got a vacancy!

Ginsberg not retiring at age 80 after 20 years on the bench was one of the great disasters of modern liberalism, and it blows my mind that so many liberals still stitch her face onto tote bags.

Would be weird if they weren't.

An Alito-for-[Trump judge] pick would lock in that seat for 30 years, but not change balance. What would launch armageddon is Sotomayor dying. But she's only 71. It's not a ridiculous Ginsberg situation where she beat cancer twice and decided not to retire at age 80

Those tomatoes don't look grilled to me...

Congratulations @donmoyn.bsky.social!
