People keep comparing Manchin to Fetterman but there's a big difference. As soon as Fetterman stroked out and lurched right progressives stopped supporting him. Centrists, meanwhile, insisted that we needed to play ball with Manchin for like 15 years
DHS 🤝 Red Sox
A perfect match
one of the reasons I'm not one
in my experience Democrats will vote for Republicans at times
an absolutely brutal reminder that as reporters at non-worker-owned outlets, you don't own your story; your corporation does. it's their IP, not yours.
Joe Manchin endorses Senator Susan Collins in Maine, joining the state Republican Party, Donald Trump, and a number of users of this site.
“If you lose Susan Collins in the United States Senate, you've lost the soul of America, what it's all about, and I mean that with my heart. I believe that.”
Even in this lineup of nobodies, Eve Barlow is bottom tier
it's a boost to her electability argument, I suppose Platner supporters could say she's in the margin of error and he's not
Sorry Karl but this is erasing the bravery of journalists who will attend wearing small pins with the First Amendment on them
New polling shows both Platner and Mills beating Collins in hypothetical head-to-head general
🟦 Platner: 51%
🟥 Collins: 45%

🟦 Mills: 48%
🟥 Collins: 46%
Hey all, it’s publishing day for my book “How to Sell a Genocide,” which is a data-driven account of centrist and liberal media’s role in creating the conditions of mass death in Gaza. 100% of royalties go to @mecaforpeace.bsky.social.

70 Minnesota children.
Delta Air Lines, who likely flew nearly all of these kiddos out of MSP, could publicly condemn this and end the practice tomorrow, as the airlines did in 2018 with family separation, but it’s easier to stay silent.

Simply wild how badly the Mills campaign bungled this.
I think if she had gone for the throat the minute these tattoo/comments became an issue—last fall—by announcing her candidacy and hitting him hard, these attacks would have landed. Doing it months later backfired hard.
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
NEW: I found two "news" websites active on X and other platforms—Al-Fassel and Pishtaz News—that are in fact U.S. government-operated anti-Iranian military propaganda mills. Both appear tied to U.S. Central Command.

I cannot stress how much the covers at the end of each Paradise episode made me insane. It got to the point where a song gets referenced in some way and I'd try to think how the shitty cover at the end was gonna sound. Again really enjoy the show!
people should vote how their conscience tells them to, 100%
The covers are putrid. Truly horrible. I love every single one of them
Really really well done
It’s incredibly emotionally manipulative and corny, I love it
A lot of people are still in the denial about how much the median Democratic voter, the median Democratic volunteer, and the median Democratic activist has shifted on a variety of issues. Well here's the handpicked candidate of Chuck Schumer being booed, about Gaza, at the Dem convention.
