Hotline TNT is about to drop one of the best straight-up rock albums of 2025's first half tomorrow. I interviewed Will Anderson about it — we talked about Wisconsin, not being a shoegaze band, and indie-rock bros hijacking NBA discourse. uproxx.com/indie/hotlin...

The media does 500 stories about "are the Democrats commiting political suicide by deposing deportations?!" when Trump is +2% on immigration, but when Trump is 20 points underwater on Iran they don't ask the same thing about Republicans. It's interesting!

I was thinking that maybe, more than 20 years after the start of the Iraq war, media coverage would be more skeptical and less sycophantic No such luck

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Fuck this.

I love finding out we are at war at the same time I’m watching cat videos

I guess on the bright side, if Democrats ever regain power just restoring things to 2024 status quo will seem like a parting of the waters.

How the F can the NY Times even ask this question in 2025? 86% of LGBTQ voters voted for Harris, up from 71% for Biden. After the hell Trump has unleashed since Jan, erasing queer from web sites, killing the suicide hotline, he's even more unpopular. Seriously? Nothing but clickbait bullshit.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

"looking cool not included"

Good thing we have a combination of anti science crackpots and goofballs who think chatgpt can run everything in charge. I’m sure it will be fine.

instead most democrats -- including president obama -- too often fed into the gop argument on the size of government

What better way to observe the end of slavery than a rich old white man yelling to work harder.

Q: It's Juneteenth. Does the president plan to commemorate the holiday at all or make any comment? LEAVITT: I'm not tracking his signature on a proclamation today. I want to thank all of you for showing up to work. We are certainly here. We are working 24/7 right now.

Trump wasn’t complaining about too many holidays on President’s Day.

The funny thing about this apnews.com/article/trum...

TWO WEEKS!

Utter bullshit. It's "adjudicated" by the IRS every year when you file your taxes. He's a moron.

Sir this is a Wendy’s….

“'States’ rights,'” along with any other principle Republicans claim to value under a Democratic president, is just a convenient cudgel. Quite simply, they don’t think Democrats and the governments they run have any rights they are bound to respect." — @playtyperguy.com

congratulations everybody: annoying robocalls are 11 percent worse this year than last year and they're poised to get even worse now that King Dingus has lobotomized the FCC (being unable to use your voice networks because of corruption is not something that happens in most developed nations)

The Times saying last year they'd no longer endorse candidates in local elections, then immediately being like "oh but not THAT guy" 10 months later because the candidate wants free buses gives away the whole game. "Objectivity" means you break your own rules to punch left as much as you want.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

Conservative protests are always treated as an organic cry of anger that manifests the distress of the unjustly ignored American heartland; protests from the center-left are always written off as noise from inside the bubble.

weaponizing nostalgia for a bygone military era but having your old tanks sound this squeaky is such a perfect allegory for our situation lmao

Six GOP governors activated the National Guard ahead of #NoKings because they claimed the protesters may be violent. 5 million of us marched. And so far all actual violence seems to have come at the hands of counter-protesters, Christian nationalist terrorists and law enforcement.

Boy, Pam Bondi is real fucking quiet about political assassinations after being real quick to make statements about burning Teslas.

Hundreds, maybe more, in Des Plaines, Illinois. The middle of this country fucking hates this guy.

I don't know if this needs to be said or not but "elected official assassinated in their home" is simply not a thing that happens in this country. 1825, 1889, 1893, 1973. Those are all the ones I can find, ever, before today.

Melissa Hortman, the top Democrat in the Minnesota House, was killed along with her husband, Mark, in their Brooklyn Park home early Saturday in what Gov. Tim Walz called a “politically motivated shooting.”

This is gut-wrenching.

There have been many instances so far of generally poor decisions but only a couple that rise to outright malfeasance. This is just an absolutely negligent outcome on the part of the administration.
