Ominous.

adjusted for inflation (both in terms of the price of a gallon of gas and general inflation) the federal gas tax is lower today than when it was introduced. our roads and bridges are crumbling and that's how we pay for that stuff!

having a political ideology of "i just like seeing the other guys cry" is bad. but having a political ideology of belief in collective action to improve the lives of everyone PLUS "i just like seeing the other guys cry"??? that's good

There's a lot to like in here

"When they go low, we hit back hard" and "Maximum warfare, everywhere, all of the time" are reflections of the correct attitude. If Jeffries can harness that energy and actually direct it to effective and progressive ends, I'll be happy to eat my previous criticisms

"We Tried Asking Nicely, and We Are No Longer Asking" must be the tenor of all Democratic party politics moving forward

most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters

these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators

All of the Hasan discourse on all sides should have to stare at this poll until they understand they are terminally online freaks who are frothing over shit that has no impact materially. Please just fight republicans and donate to dems.

That's the energy we'll need to avoid Worse, Again in the future at least

Trump is within sight of an under 30% overall approval rating.

One of the most important causes right now is to establish a media narrative and popular support behind severe punishments and consequences to our present criminals running things.

Ron DeSantis was the major contender too until it came campaign time and he was revealed that he did not, in fact, have The Juice for what the party wanted

Calling it now -- Newsom is the D DeSantis

Nuts, also not surprising at all. Break em up, and tax the shit out of them!

Read this as "DRAGON BALL Sparkling Zero" which just sounds like the worst energy drink ever

COVID-response-style rhetoric all over again lol

Bingo

I'm in the "aside from the existential horrors, that time was good for me actually" camp, but I can't imagine not having the wherewithal to not be able to immediately make the leap to "that time sucked so much ass for so many people so don't be a dick about it, you were lucky"

People are maddening

My "I'm winning a War, BY A LOT" t-shirt, etc etc

Guys he's USING UP ALL THE COMMAS

“Move fast and break things” as an ethos was always going to run into “laws are a hinderance to xyz” and while people may cheekily call it ‘cyberpunk’ or such the reality is it’s nothing more than white collar criminality and should be prosecuted as such

‘Simply stop giving millionaires water for literally free’ is one of the most insane sounding but actually serious policy solutions out there

Add "farmers in the American West whose farms are only viable because they are given incredibly scarce water resources for 5 cents on the dollar" to the car dealers and realtors — destructive, unproductive conservative groups that we need to reduce the influence of when we're back in power.

Every time we talk about how there's secret Republican votes if we fix rural healthcare - I have to remind you from practical experience, no, no there isn't. We should expand Medicaid everywhere cause it's the right thing to do, but don't expect rural conservatives to credit you. They won't.

BLOOB FOR THE BLOOB GOD!

Doug Mills photo of bullet path in Butler, PA.

I'm so tired of this "staged" conspiracy bullshit. NYT photographer Doug Mills literally caught the bullet's path in a series of photos where Trump puts his hand to his ear and immediately has blood on it.

The Nissan President has been abducted by Nissan Rogues and taken to the Nissan Frontier. His daughter, Nissan Fairlady asks you, Nissan Cedric, a humble Nissan Civilian, to join the Nissan Patrol and use your Nissan Kicks and Nissan Juke to rescue him before he is put inside the Nissan Cube

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

do think this is basically the story of the last decade

I mean...
