Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe itās the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal.
Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big.
And here we are.
Hereās my plea to the national security press: donāt report what he announces at face value. Youāve been suckered over and over to cover his fake trade deals and ceasefire āannouncementsā like they are real. Heās desperate to look like heās got a plan. Make sure itās not fake.
im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality
Let me be clear: Iām glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
BOTH Democratic U.S. Senate candidates should be furious about how this is being handled in Texas.
It benefits one candidate today. But the same chaos that helped them in the primary can absolutely burn them the general.
I want to thank everyone who posts gift articles of really important stories that all Americans should read but are behind paywalls so most canāt.
There are some stories that are so important to the public interest that media companies should remove paywalls on some occasions.
Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.
The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.
Iām so tired of bad people getting away with doing bad things.
Weāre witnessing the greatest restriction of free expression Iāve ever seen in my life

My MAGA aunt told me the reason young people canāt afford homes is because we are going out too much, and should stay home and eat hot dogs instead. We are sitting in a beach house she inherited from my grandfather, which is her second home. These people are so unserious I canāt.
āResponding to [Trumpās] rhetoric is a waste of time. What you do is you go to court, you show by facts, which we do here in Massachusetts,ā says MA Secretary of State Bill Galvin re false claims that mail-in voting enables fraud. #mapoli #votingrights www.wgbh.org/news/politic...
Taking photos and video of law enforcement officers performing their duties in public is our constitutional right.
This includes police, FBI, National Guard troops, ICE agents, and other government officials.
Genuinely incredible that she's saying this with 2 accused rapists on either side of her
Democratic Mayors Association: "Let's be clear: Crime is down in most major cities - including Washington, DC - in spite of Donald Trump, not because of him. If Trump actually cared about reducing crime, he wouldn't have made unprecedented cuts to public safety programs that actually work."
Iāve been married to my husband for 17 years this past August 2nd. Kim Davis has been through 3 marriages.
Get fucked you miserable hobgoblin.
*jazz hands*
Beautiful day to knock doors for @wutrain.bsky.social ! šŖāØš reminder that getting involved in your local elections makes a difference - and can even make you feel less hopeless about the state of our country!
Doesnāt seem like a coincidence to me that 2 days after he removes the WSJ from the press pool, they drop the receipts #realrecognizesreal

Let that sink in for a sec.
Nothing proves that youāre only going after the criminals who are here illegally quite so clearly as abducting people at their legal immigration hearings.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
do not give money to dems who donāt support court reform. donāt vote in primaries for dems who do not support court reform. do not support dem leadership that will not pursue court reform. do not bother with pundits who are not on board with court reform.
The Supreme Court said it was unlawful for the Biden administration to forgive student loans because it lacked congressional authority but has no problem with the Trump administration gutting the entire Department of Education without congressional approval. This is a lawless court.
ā ļø Call the campaign donors of these on-the-fence GOP Senators (Murkowski, Collins, Johnson) and tell them to pressure for a no vote.
Money speaks.
Tillis, in the grand tradition of retiring Republicans, is explaining to everyone that Trump sucks actually.
the thing with Mamdani is that heās obviously an incredible political talent - the campaign heās run has been extremely impressive even if you donāt like his policies
the party should be delighted, and that theyāre instead pulling out all the stops to beat him speaks volumes
Itās a good thing Congress isnāt alive to see this
i want to thank the cuomo endorsers for making it clear who needs to be purged from leadership
