They think you're stupid.

I have no view on whether it would be an electorally successful platform.

But “hardball in the service of democratic norms” seems to me to be the morally correct platform for Dems.

I just assume this is a feature of the school shooter type, of which these guys are all extremely vivid examples

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

Since I was first aware that I was closeted, a substantial purpose of the Republican Party has been to intermingle religion with politics.

The statements from Trump and his sycophants in the past days criticizing the Pope's statements are as empty as anything I've seen.

Ordinary Americans do not share the media and intellectual elites' euphoria over Israel's never-ending campaigns of ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Trump as Jesus, Jonestown Edition

The Scandalous Lies Used To Accuse Hasan Piker of Antisemitism: An Investigation How organizations and leaders laundered clips from an Islamophobic propagandist, deliberately distorted Piker's words, and erased context to manufacture a case against him.

I spent two weeks looking into accusations that Hasan Piker is antisemitic. What I found was damning: prominent organizations and leaders have spread total falsehoods about him.

Whether he's antisemitic is for you to decide. But everyone should care when the ADL & politicians spread disinformation.

It's the classic Mel Gibson and Jesus meme where Mel is on set in normal clothes casually chatting to a very bloody Jesus (for those of you who don't know it).

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Orban was going to lose anyway but it appears reasonably likely the Vance anti-bump was enough to tip it into a supermajority.

The Statement Before the Story Melania Trump went to the White House podium today. The question is why she had to.

This is getting interesting.

More about Amanda Ungaro and how she pertains to Melania’s statement today.

Follow this thread.

Most likely, and of course, all speculation right now, this is why Melania did her 6 min statement today.

Amanda Ungaro was brought here as a 17-year-old model. She flew to NYC on Epstein's private plane.

If you thought the Trump admin might want to put some distance between them and the subject of this NY Times profile...here he is with Vance in Hungary yesterday

The irony being that electing the Pontiff as President would make the US government less religiously fundamentalist, less socially controlling, and less disposed to cover-up for and protect child sex offenders than the current one.

Quite a line on Page One in Milwaukee:

“.. It’s stunning that in the nation’s most competitive battleground an entire class of major statewide elections has become chronically uncompetitive.”

Frank Rich, 2007, on the White House correspondents' dinner:

"Washington wisdom had it that Stephen Colbert bombed because he was rude to the president.

"His real sin was to be rude to the capital press corps, whom he caricatured as stenographers."

Dems above 40 in this seat is a disaster for the GOP

We gotta be real about this sentiment, it’s driven by concern-trolling rich people. They are fine with paying for their own child care and don’t want to pay taxes for poorer people to get child care either

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.

Wam Bam Thank U Pam (free headline idea)

That’s one hell of a cover…..

Yes, this is real.

Everybody is really sleeping on the “Oracle gets destroyed by openai and data center debt” as a possibility

if a leftist says he's anti-zionist because of the war crimes of a sovereign nation the times will suggest he is an anti-semite.

if a conservative says that he is "j-pilled" the times will say it's about foreign policy.

This, a thousand times, this.

Well done. #NoKings

I am in awe of Mamdani's ability to raise the salience with the nuts and bolts of public administration.
He is saying, "forget the media coverage, hold me accountable for getting shit done."
