Republicans voted to repeal Obamacare dozens of times knowing it would fail. Every single vote generated headlines. They understood that official government action gets media coverage in a way that "messaging" doesn't. Dems keep not learning this.
there are innumerable people to feel sorry for that have been affected by this conflict. homesick teenagers in the aggressor nations army are at the very bottom of that list.
that's a good thing. disgruntled troops provide pressure to end hostilities. they signed up for this, civilian sailors didn't.
CBS’s excuse for why it killed the investigation into CECOT was that it wasn’t original and news-distinctive enough.

this one hurts the most
elons perfect customer but still calls it twitter
to be fair this could describe bluesky during the Biden admin
I *really* don't want to be a downer but to me the precursor to Doing is Saying, and not nearly enough of this Party is saying what needs to be said. About punishing the villains, about abolishing billionaires, about ending elite impunity. Too many want to leave the rot but change the branding
this is still the realest thing ever said about america
in what world am i supposed to be able to process this
I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
Sorry but I love it every time that the fraud betting apps go health insurance mode and find the smallest discrepancy to justify not paying out to the inside traders who are its core customer base. Eat shit.
A thing I think about the Billionaire right’s consolidation and growing stranglehold on US media is that you can’t spend decades training the public that the media is untrustworthy and full of lies and a biased useless fake news machine and then expect people to suddenly trust it once you take over
The number of OSINT folks on Twitter relishing in all of this as if it is a game is a sign of a sick, sick culture
obama bombed libya without congressional approval also
don't any of you amoral cheerleaders have memories at least
If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.
this is the funniest brag
my president ended child poverty and then brought it back a short while later
A data point to remember re: “popularism” is that the popular position on what is happening in Iran and happened in Venezuela is “no war, this is insane, full stop” and the moderate elected officials we are supposed to like are saying contorted, legalistic, unpopular word salad instead of that.
and will happen again if the 28 candidate does not break with unconditional support for israel
biden was following through on an arrangement made by trump, as democrats were fond of saying at the time to defend against republican criticism
anyone choosing this moment to be all "here's what you get with republicans: bombs in the middle east" needs to grow up rapidly, considering what the last dem admin did in gaza & their current support for trump's actions right now. this is what you get with (wholly bipartisan) american imperialism
