It’s presumably him doing alpha bullshit. “I can appropriate your work and you and your lawyers can’t do anything about it because I have a bigger platform and/or you’re dead.”

Muslim Mayor with the courage to be a Wet
I’ve never seen the show but the algorithm has fed me dozens of clips of him being cool and clever. I have a profoundly warped sense of the show’s whole deal.
And the fact that Bill Kristol’s top-secret silver bullet anti-Trump candidate was, um, David French shows to highlight just how absent anyone with any GOP stature is from being at all useful to the current moment.
That was not a complaint about you bringing him up. Just wondering how we’d feel if he had a normal personal life. Anyway the general thesis of this thread is that it’s a deep dive even to name a Magyar-type candidate as none of the major anti-Trump GOP figures are up to the task of accountability.
Please enjoy this deep dive on one of Philly's greatest citizens, Julie K. Brown.

Conway is such a funny example since the analogy here is as if Hypothetical Resistance Mitt Romney were married to Susie Wiles. Even with him saying many of the right things there a notion that he’s really just working out some issues that could be done in private.
His top policy complaint as a Senator was that the U.S. was spending too much on public transit. Just a dude with profoundly weird priorities who is okay on democracy issues on some days.
Painting of a lunar landscape. It's empty except for the Descent module of the lunar lander on the right. It has been left Behind after the ascent module has taken off to return to the Command Module and then to Earth. the only other sign of the human visit is an American flag standing up in the emptiness.

Charlie Crist won five Democratic primaries in Florida, including two statewide ones. Democratic voters seem perfectly willing to be strategic when necessary.

the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system
Seriously. What won't these people destroy as a political favor for wealthy pals. Reporting from @grist.org via @climatedesk.org

DoorDash Grandma isn't a paid plant. (For that, you need to be paid!) Instead, her story is far worse.
She's a depressing example of how MAGA cultists have internalized the lies that justify their own oppression.
An analysis.

The algorithm just fed me a story of one iteration of the Beach Boys touring with a horn section that was not in the sound mix for the audience. It was just for the band.

Exactly one year ago today:
very much agree that it's because he's racist but also think it's because he acts with the impunity that the people who cover him admire and crave.

THE HOUSE JUST VOTED TO EXTENDED TPS FOR HAITI!!! Thank you, Rep. Ayanna Pressley for your leadership on this. Proud to help co-lead this effort for our Haitian brothers, sisters, and siblings. What a day.
This is always such a hard hit
Another Big L for JD Vance! A Republican House rejecting the way he slandered his own constituents. One of the most shameful acts of any campaign in US history.
After a successful discharge petition, the House approves a bill forcing the Trump Administration to give some 350,000 Haitians in the U.S. a temporary legal immigration status - letting them stay in the country. 10 GOP lawmakers voted Yes.
