It's fun how modern conservatism gave up any pretense of intellectualism and just went all in on the "Daddy Trump" cult and the dipshit discourse that gave us "One Big Beautiful Bill" and the "MAGA" nonsense. We're a week away from a solemn Senate speech that's just "googoo gaga, I'm a widdle baby"

I hate religion, but I love this use of it, to protect the most vulnerable. It’s like Raid to roaches.

Random wars, presidential corruption on an unprecedented scale, massive tax cuts for the rich being jammed through while Medicaid is cut, people being kidnapped & deported to torture prisons ... and what freaks out the chattering class? Grocery stores & higher wages for the working class.

"At any decision point, the GOP will behave in a way that is dumber & meaner than expected" is the only heuristic that has never led me wrong in US politics. People think I'm joking or exaggerating for rhetorical effect when I say that, but I'm dead serious. I can't think of an exception.

Well said, Elon. But also, why the surprise? Fossil fuel money is the GOP’s lifeblood and has been for generations. You and the tech goons gave them a major boost, but they are not about the future, or science, or the environment, or competition, or or or…

If I'm running a news room now, I assign everyone who has done piece on Biden's final-years fitness-to-govern, and have them apply same standards here. (Once heard Bill Clinton give 45-minute ad-hoc on what diff counties in Arkansas had done in Civil War. Trump doesn't know WHAT YEAR it was.)

Found myself misting up to hear about Bill Moyers’ passing. More than mourning the passing of one man, I’m mourning the cultural loss of what he represents: curiosity, compassion, integrity, nuance, journalism that drilled for truth.

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor. One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

Listen, I met with a tiny group from Joplin over zoom last December. They didn’t know what to do after the election, but they knew they had to do something. They invited me down to speak in Joplin a few weeks ago. That tiny group ended up organizing 350 people for the event. Never give up.

Never forget that in US political discourse, the Pragmatic, Realistic position, the position that Understands Economics and puts away childish "luxury beliefs," is that US citizens cannot enjoy the public services & amenities enjoyed by citizens of virtually every other advanced democracy.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

There’s a weird thing on this website and lots of left-wing subcultures, where people love to throw around “liberal” as an insult, but from what I can tell liberals voted overwhelmingly against Cuomo and are rallying behind Zohran now.

Here is my plea to the rest of the democratic establishment: either learn something from this, or LEAVE NEW YORK CITY THE HELL ALONE. What was BILL CLINTON doing weighing in on our mayoral race? GET OUT OF HERE, LET US COOK.

Zohran Mamdani found that elusive solution to generating organic left-wing influencer-driven advocacy that the DNC will spend the next three years and millions of dollars attempting to manufacture. Turns out the magic bullet is having a handful of new ideas and not being a total piece of shit.

FEMA funds are now going to fund concentration camps in the everglades instead of helping people after a natural disaster. Seems all the rightwing conspiracy theories about FEMA building camps was projection all along.

HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too. This isn't over, but this is a huge win. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

I don’t believe a single goddamn thing coming out of this administration. This is absolute gaslighting madness. It’s as if we’re watching toddlers run through the White House screaming and smearing Gogurt into the carpet and the entire world has to pretend it’s the Lincoln-Douglas debates.

This is a horrifying ruling that shows a disdain for basic human rights principles — made all the more unconscionable by the fact that the Republican appointees did so with no reasoning and on the shadow docket.

Their mission is obedience. But their legacy will be shame. History will not ask what side they were on. It will ask what kind of men these were who did this? These are not soldiers of a nation. They are enemies of the people!
