I need people to understand the preliminaries for this started in 2021 and Pete Buttigieg protected Elon by putting them on the backburner at the NHTSA because he wanted to use Musk as his megadonor for his 2028 run. That's why the NHTSA investigations did not OFFICIALLY start until Musk backed DJT

"Ms. Rachel sparked controversy last month when a 3-year-old girl from Gaza who lost her legs in an airstrike danced and sang in one of her videos." How can anybody write this and not feel insane, lol.

That’s because they’re spineless little weaselshits who’d happily sell their grandmother to a dogfood company if it meant another tv appearance

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

What pundits think a broken information environment means: dumb yokels in Ohio spend all day on TikTok and believe in Jewish space lasers What a broken information environment actually means: dumb pundits in NYC and DC spend all day on X and believe Harris ran on trans sports & late term abortions

"AI is no problem because I can always tell the difference between real human thought and crap computer writing" is the new "Donald Trump will never be elected President of the United States."

Vying for second place (against Gallego) among "Worst Democrats in the Senate" (behind Fetterman, of course) is Elissa Slotkin, who is working HARD to be despised by the entire base. WHO is the constituency for short-shrifting farm workers? Seriously... WHAT THE FUCK, Democrats? @ufw.bsky.social

How embarrassing to work for the organized kidnapping ring known as "ICE." Rolling out of bed every day to be a brainless goon. You are lower than a worm to me

Democrats remain vulnerable to the right's framing on an endless series of ginned-up moral panics. Dems' instinct is always to meet the right halfway on whatever bullshit they've cooked up. This is a result of not have their own policy platform beyond diet fascism and slightly less corruption.

The persistence of the "Liberal Rogan" thing is unbearable. And it's the latest instance of the Democrats' maddening commitment to trying to cure a disease by ignoring its cause and treating its symptoms with a thesaurus.

I finally figured it out: Abundance is to economic policy what "Invade Iraq in order to bring democracy to the Middle East" was to foreign policy. It's baseless optimism as strategy, and then mocking the cautious people pointing out the downsides of, eg, natural gas plants to fuel AI data centers.

Rahm Emanuel being portrayed as an anti-corruption crusader is as utterly absurd as Donald Trump being depicted as draining the swamp.

This passed 215-214. We're going to lose our healthcare because 3 senior Dems have died this year. We lost Roe because Ginsburg didn't retire. We lost the election because Joe ran for reelection. Our country is being destroyed because geriatric Dems can't retire and let go of power.

I never need to see another Matt Yglesias post, please I am begging you stop screenshotting his deranged, amoral bullshit which is always a derivative riff on his original "poor brown people in foreign countries dying in industrial accidents is good, actually" take

He's also a longtime collaborator with the DeVoses' efforts to destroy public education. I guess if his stupid stunt got normies to turn out for a protest or two, that's fine. But Booker is emblematic of the emptiness of the "centrist" capitulation caucus -- just another "kinder, gentler" Republican

that Biden chose unwavering support for the Israeli genocide and Netanyahu - who was actively supporting his opponent - over anything, even the threat of Donald Trump, will define his legacy an abhorrent decision on every level
