Everyone is throwing out examples of Iraq War-era mass derangement so I might as well throw in Amanda Bynes doing a peace sign on a movie poster being photoshopped out for fear of being seen as an antiwar statement

it cannot simultaneously be true that media outlets like the Times and the Post are the Fourth Estate, playing a vital Democratic function, and also that what occurs on its pages is harmless intellectual inquiry

Astonishing that only 16% of Americans think the US should join Israel’s war on Iran but so few Democrats are speaking out against it. The gaping disconnect between Dem politicians and the Dem base we saw on Gaza continues to cripple effective opposition.

The moderates got Joe Biden as president and Eric Adams as mayor and somehow their story is that they need to take back power from the left

If Trump escalates our involvement into a war with Iran, I hope you like bipartisanship with MAGA. Because this Democratic leadership is gonna be on board.

liberal media is so desperate to find the Good Conservatives that they’ll take a premise that’s basically “this Supreme Court Justice is slightly more moderate than her colleagues” and present it as though she’s some sort of enigmatic rogue.

There is no nuclear weapons program. Fetterman’s pals in the Trump administration - including DNI Gabbard - have confirmed there is no nuclear weapons program. Fetterman is lying. Openly. Demonstrably. Shamelessly.

Tonight, I introduced legislation to stop Trump from from leading us into an illegal war with Iran. Another war in the Middle East could cost countless lives, waste trillions more dollars, and lead to even more deaths, more conflict, and more displacement.

Choosing to host a big event that makes our armed forces look incompetent, disorganized and lacking public support at the exact moment of the highest military tensions in years IS a really good bit, Don always delivers on that front.

In 2019, Iceland made a bold move that many thought was risky at best—a switch to a four-day workweek. Fast forward nearly six years, and the results have been nothing short of remarkable. #auspol www.cmu.fr/en/icelands-...

Mrs. Ezra Klein thinks a voting mechanism supported by experts in democracy is undemocratic because it might result in keeping the corrupt, misogynist but maybe pro-“abundance” centrist candidate from winning, hokay

1) They can’t control their police. 2) They’re afraid that if they don’t have the police crack skulls Trump will send in the troops to do it. 3) They like it when police do that to protesters. All three are to some extent true about democrats in charge of big cities and all three are unacceptable.

It is firmly in the “somebody’s making an active decision to downplay this” territory.

I think it brings up questions like whether or not the police can even be controlled by the politicians that are supposedly their superiors. Because decades of monopoly on violence and exploding police budgets, if a Democrat tells them to stand down would they even listen?
