So we're now relying on the Supreme Court of Oklahoma as the voice of reason? Holy shit....

America has certainly made bad decisions that have negatively impacted other countries, but it is a massive stretch to believe that increasing Russia and China's global influence is going to result in "more balanced and just" outcomes. Ya know, because Russia is actively committing war crimes.

Government is serious work for serious people. Tragically we’re going to make things worse for all impacted by natural disasters thanks to the group of clowns we have in charge now.

Yeah, I guess she thinks Senate and House Democrats are doing a great job, except for Murphy.

She plans to run for Governor against the sitting AG. Let's just call it an early smear campaign.

Are you sure she isn't talking about habeas campus? (hat tip to Gemini AI, well done Google)

It is exceedingly clear that the Schumer & Durbin need to step aside. And you're arguing that we need to unify with clear messaging. Exactly whose job do you think that is in the Senate?

“Many have very real concerns about the Trump family’s use of crypto technologies to evade oversight, hide shady financial dealings, and personally profit at the expense of everyday Americans, but we cannot allow that corruption to blind us to the broader reality: blockchain is here to stay.” Warner

"a growing recognition that women's pain should be treated" is just an amazing sentence.

Agree, but they're not doing that. Murphy pointing out that the strategies that they've been following haven't been working isn't a distraction, it is the point.

No, they don't hire for actual skills.

Good thing we've got an administration who is hollowing out FEMA. I hate to say it, but at least some of his base will start feeling the pain of his cuts.

@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social Are you proud of this "reporting"? You firsthand witnessed the sheer incompetence and negligence of the current administration, and you think this is where the focus should be?

Start acting like you belong to an opposition party. Confirming felons isn't a great look.

This is all Bannon's "flood the zone" idiocy.

At the very least he is being honest about the bill, which is much more than you can say for his peers. That doesn't mean preclude him being an awful human being who wants to make other suffer.

and honestly, the obsession over “we should have said more about biden being old” starts to grate when the currently serving president is very obviously impaired by age and cognitive decline, to crickets from the press

There are two ways to frame this news:
1. U.S. trade policy and our macroeconomic prospects are much better today than they were yesterday
2. U.S. trade policy and our macroeconomic prospects are much worse today than on Inauguration day
Both are true.

At what point do you realize that you are in an opposition party that should be restricting or slowing down EVERYTHING this administration is trying to do?

I admire what you’re doing in Wisconsin, but this will all continue until there are actual consequences for these types of actions. And to date, there have been none.

I'm certain that he sits on his phone talking to AI bots while trying to convince himself that he has LOTS of friends.

As usual with these panels, the overwhelming characteristic is nonexistent or false information. Every call to understand and empathize with Trump voters (which is fine in the abstract!) needs to grapple with this.
