The Supreme Court had a (fairly) reliable liberal median vote from September 1962-May 1969, and this somehow dominated how both parties perceived the Court after decades of more typical Republican control

I would like to echo this question. Why would Jews be less safe in an NYC with a Muslim mayor?

Truly in awe of Kevin Durant's skills as a poster. A generation talent. One of the best to ever do it. We'll never see another one like him again.

A large enough membership to comply with ncaa bylaws and enough game inventory to placate their TV partners. Also, Texas State is affordable in a way that Memphis, USF, etc aren’t

Iranian Nathan Peterman out there.

these are the only american soldiers who should be sent to iran taskandpurpose.com/military-lif...

you don't even have to look at it strategically! people will straight up stop coming to places if there's nothing else there but a strident requirement to stare hard into the abyss at all times

Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.

"Detroit, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Baltimore each reported fewer murders through May than any year since the 1960s, and New York City reported the fewest murders ever reported through May 2025." jasher.substack.com/p/why-i-thin...

Elizabeth Street Garden feels like the ultimate test case for shitty Democrats. Are you going to fold over senior housing just because some of the richest people in the city threw a hissy fit?

This whole, "sexual assault and harassment is bad when Trump does it, but ok when our side does it," is sending a really clear message that the old guard of Democratic leadership only cares about women when it's politically advantageous. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Well well well, If it isn’t the consequences of my own actions

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

sorry I can't get over how cynical this is. dude *just* voted for a bill that was pushed by the crypto lobby and left out any protections against Trump's corruption. *now* he's claiming to address the issue with a bill that will never pass? this is galling even by modern Dem standards

Your periodic reminder that every member of the Republican Senate conference save one owns this 100%

i am BEGGING you before you pop off about paywalls to go to your local library's website and scroll through their digital resources. mine gives me access to NYT, WSJ, WaPo and if its linked with PressReader or a similar app, all the news magazines, sports, fashion, hobby etc. FOR FREE.

That was the run everyone was expecting in the first half.

This really is Congress eating its own institutional capacity to stifle any dissent to Trump. They accuse CBO of being Democrats, even though it is run by a Republican appointee. GAO has pointed out the illegality of impoundment. DOGE tried to take over GAO, and now House Republicans want to gut it.

ESPN stop showing the injury.

These Pacers just keep at it.

Cram it, nerd. We talk about sports here and it’s on you to know it’s game seven of the NBA finals. That’s just basic cultural competency.

“Non Contact”

Oh no

Great start to this game.

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

game 7

honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

We need a picture of Kristin Chenoweth next to Chet Holmgren

you’ll never lose betting against the ability of a pro-war pundit to remember past yesterday

This is textbook gaslighting

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

OK, that IS kinda weird.

you think JD feels bad he didn’t get the text about matching

Jeffries doesn’t call Trump’s act of war illegal or unconstitutional. The leadership of the Democratic Party is worse than useless.

Correct. When Trump withdrew from the JCPOA in May 2018, he made it the policy of the United States that every country should have an active nuclear weapons program. Today he made it clear they need to develop functional nuclear weapons as soon as possible. Nothing else can prevent a U.S. attack.

As an attorney, I can say with no compunction that the Democratic Party needs way less fucking lawyers

“You would never know, as The New York Times churns out its usual policy-option thumb-suckers, that the United States is well down the road to dictatorship at home. That is the context in which a war with Iran will occur.”
