Tucker Carlson: I'II be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. We're implicated in this. I misled people.
It'd sure be nice if Kamala Harris' campaign organization wouldn't constantly promote Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, and whatnot. But oh well.
Trump bailing out the UAE as a returned favor for all the bribes: America First at its finest.

The thing about "Vote Blue No Matter Who" is that you get to be a part of determining who the Blue is. As @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com notes, there are lots of weaknesses in our party system. But we can mount primary challengers against Democratic incumbents.
This is the same logic Stephen Miller used to make it harder for immigrants to enter the US. It is the same logic that populists have always used to demonize immigrants.
And in RFK Jr's case, he is using it to cover up his own failures.

The ‘public trust crisis’ in science largely comes down to ‘scientists tell people things they don’t want to hear’. Applies equally to climate science
Hell, why have modern medicine in the military at all? Let's get back to vicious battlefield amputations. Anesthesia is woke.
Again, where the fuck have AAPG, GSA, and AGU *been* in raising alarm about this shit?
All three geological and geophysical professional societies have *direct interests* in at least getting the public aware of what an absolute disaster the targeting of civilian energy infrastructure is.
Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
Tweet from Pete Hegseth: "The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately."
In World War I more U.S. soldiers died of influenza than from combat. In America's first 145 years of war more soldiers and sailors died from infectious diseases than from enemy action. In every single war in human history more combatants have died of illness and disease than bullets and the blade.
Sports-washing ghouls can get fucked. Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester are circling the drain after being punished for breaking 1% of the rules broken by City.
Nah. "[A]s far as I'm concerned, the first thing you can do for me is to chuck all your medals and all your caps and all your pots and all your pans into the biggest fucking dustbin you can find, because you've never won any of them fairly. You've done it all by bloody cheating."
The real failure to look in the mirror is academics falling back on comfortable “we’re partly responsible because we enforced left wing orthodoxy“ thinking rather than the less comfortable truth that Trump/MAGA are bad faith actors who will only be satisfied with resegregated MAGA academies
In both foreign policy and economic policy, the core belief of Trumpism is that there is some button one can press to instantly and easily solve any problem, and every political leader this country has ever had was simply too cowardly to press it. That’s it.
Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.
Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.
I think our society really is grossly underestimating how important visible accountability is for social cohesion.
May we re-learn this lesson.
Problem: White House is concerned by reports that several men in the cabinet are drinking on the job.
Solution:
Mine's kinda more niche:
A lot of high ranking Triple AAA Video Game execs around GamerGate, chose to not oppose GamerGate as forcefully, as they saw a lot of feminists and journalists targeted by GamerGate as also pushing for Unionization of workers, so they viewed Gaters as "Enemy of my enemy".
🎯Exactly this:➡️ "Roberts may very well be an institutionalist in a different sense. His project is not to withdraw the Court from politics, but to entrench its authority within it. He is committed to sustaining and expanding the Court’s capacity to decide foundational questions of governance."
"One recent study found that while municipal districts pay an average of $512.01 per acre-foot, agricultural irrigation districts paid an average of $30.32 per acre-foot. Fully a quarter of all Colorado water diversions, all to farmers, cost nothing at all. Such a subsidy is difficult to unwind."
Every single millennial and Gen Z Republican politician you will ever see in office will be like this or worse.
this is important to get your head around the basic shape of water use out West. farmers get the overwhelming majority of it--far more than all industry and cities put together--and pay almost nothing for it
John Roberts’ Wife Made Millions From Bribes
Roberts accepted $10 Million in bribes disguised as recruiting fees from Law firms with cases pending before the Supreme Court.

"Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I think we should worship the sun and moon as powerful gods... and fear them."
Forget about the substance, the reveal that “most of” the justices talked to Mollie Hemingway for her book is bananas. Hemingway is a right-wing freak who runs a conspiracy theory blog. If literally any of the justices are taking this person seriously, the Supreme Court is GONE gone.
