What I would hypothesize that you can see here is greatly a *sorting* of Americans by trust
The Democratic Party used to have a lot more cranks who had some weird ideas about science, and the Republican Party used to have a lot more normies who think science is great
And they swapped parties
friends… would it be weird if i ask y’all white claw drinkers to send me those colorful pop tops from the cans? i want to diy some rainbow chains… i’ll pay for shipping!
video games taught me that you know you're headed in the right direction when you encounter more & stronger enemies, and get better loot by defeating them
I have negative patience for "it's not fair" what is fair about the nearly impenetrable supermajorities republicans built in the NC or WI state legislatures and their current president thinks it is illegal for him to lose elections
fuck outta here
It was hilarious learning that UK right wingers repeatedly tried asserting their First Amendment rights during the first Trump administration, apparently based on advice from some type of astroturfing organization
UK friends, if some of the talking points you hear from your right-wing politicians and pundits sound weird, it's probably because they were imported from the US via think tanks and political consultants.
that's my senator staying on message!
Same
He could charge so very much money for non-endorsements
Pay half, and he endorses but JD doesn’t campaign for you
This is the nature of police though: Warren v. District of Columbia established in 1981 that police have no duty
It wouldn’t be proper to fire them for performance that officially no one can expect
It *would* make sense to shut the force down though, start a different sort of organization entirely
Tuesday is THE LAST DAY Virginians can vote on redistricting. If you haven't yet, please make the time! And vote yes too, please.
They have special cowardice-and-escalation training a force can send anyone with courage through, teaches you to kill before you think
Wish I were joking
looking good sir
That’s the other cool part - we get all the deadweight loss of a tariff with none of the revenue!
The only news I heard about her was that she had been appointed FBI director
If you go back and watch a movie like All the Presidents's Men, it will really hit you how massively our country has changed in my lifetime. It was unthinkable for any of today's headlines to ever even exist back then.
A lot of you think it's always been this bad, but it hasn't. It really hasn't.

Maybe the real “daylight” is the public scrutiny he destroyed along the way.
Not said enough! 🙏
US spending on ‘reckless’ Iran war could have saved 87m lives, says UN www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
The “$2bn weekly cost of conflict comes amid big cuts to aid budgets…”
Kash Patel: the Vic Mignogna of law enforcement
Had any previous presidents run afoul of the Espionage Act and similar in ways that would cause them to fear a functioning FBI?
That's right....and so dreadfully wrong

I mean it looks as though AI wrote the war plans for the attack on Iran, which prompted closure of the strait of Hormuz, which seems to have gotten most of the world serious about switching to renewables, so the intelligence AI replaced seems to have played a role like the proverbial horseshoe nail
At about the same time fiction was innovating with chalky vampires that break like gypsum and sparkle like marble, real life was giving us moist vampires who are literally feverish with unresolved internal contradictions of their bodies.
I have a theory:
Counterpoint:
We fought a civil war against this political faction in the 19c (the basic battle lines between support for vs. opposition to the 14th amendment to the US constitution), and Woody Guthrie wrote a song about Trump’s father being an evil landlord in 1954
