Out of morbid curiosity I went to the bad place to see what was being posted about Ind/Pak - absolutely unusable. Nationalist AI slop fakes, footage that is likely from other conflicts, community notes nowhere, blue checks everywhere so it's impossible to tell what accts are legit (e.g. Mins of Def)

If it is the UK ... Keir Starmer is just so bad at this. This seems likely to strike at all his current political vulnerabilities.

BREAKING: Democrats reached a deal on a stablecoin bill that will give them a fake amendment on Trump crypto corruption that is designed to fail, so collaborators can say they did the best they could. "Schumer 101," said one source. prospect.org/politics/202...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Democrats are going to full-on cave on this crypto bill and then lie to you about it. More on this shortly....

kidnapping a guy and shipping him off to another country and then paying that country to declare the guy guilty of a crime you didn’t charge him with so they can keep him in a torture cell is obviously extremely illegal

Malliotakis falsely claimed the blueprint she voted for didn’t use the word “Medicaid” so didn't require cuts to Medicaid. Now she claims no one's looking "to give tax cuts” to millionaires & billionaires, surely because Rs are looking to "extend tax cuts" for them. @bkindivisible.bsky.social

Donald Trump is not in charge, except on the things that he is irrationally fixated on (like tariffs); everything else is coming from the worst people imaginable in government pursuing their own agendas and pretending like they have divined meaning from Trump's increasingly nonsensical statements

Remember, the rules of American politics are simple. Republicans are allowed to do or say almost anything you can think of, however offensive, because it is "priced in". Democrats meanwhile must be held to account for anything even vaguely awkwardly phrased

WSJ: After tech to manage air traffic failed several times in recent days, 20% of the FAA controllers at Newark Airport walked out. Now, United has canceled 35 daily RT flights from Newark. FAA staffing at Newark is too low to handle the planes scheduled, United's CEO said. Gift link!

there's something i can't quite articulate about how the nation's elite have led such pedestrian, stifled lives that they're captivated by boring, gutter racists and misogynists who know a few three syllable words, like, this is the actual decadence, not whatever shit douthat drones on about
