4 of those 25 years we had the same president we do now, tho

today:

Don’t take your eye off the ball. The attack on Iran is meant to distract you from the proposed changes to tax credits for soybean farms

HE’S NOT AT THE DESK?!!??!!

Economy: doin bad Immigration: in the tank Wars: new one just dropped NYT: Is Donald Trump about to have a Zaddy Summer?

AI will never satisfy these hacks, because AI cannot give you an interior life.

Tried to rank Cuomo once for each credible charge of sexual criminality but there were only 5 ballot spots… 😓

just saw a candidate on my NYC voter guide who used an AI headshot

Gonna have to write more about this one. The reliability with which failed white men have been able to ask Jim Clyburn for Black cred they haven’t earned themselves is detrimental to Black people and eternally shameful for Clyburn — a man who now exists to softshoe endorsements in election years.

mvp of the first half

Look, I don't know how to put this more plainly: Tucker Carlson is my wheelhouse and if you think he owned Ted Cruz you're being really, embarrassingly stupid and you can do better. A couple thousand words more about it (which are nicer to you and meaner to Tuck) below. GIFT LINK:

clearly based on the past 24 hours, not enough of you watched this www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMGx...

A desperate plea for half-credit from senators who ignored loud, clear, & open advice to *not vote for Trump's picks." They handcuffed themselves to "bipartisan compromise" and "reaching across the aisle" and again those strategies are plainly and baldly proven wrong. Will they learn anything?

Is is INCREDIBLY telling to see who thinks that what Tucker did to Ted Cruz was 'smart'

antebellum era century chuck schumer who's like "the vicious caning of Senator Sumner is just a distraction from the debate on funding the C&O canal"

Instead of making the same points again and again as news happens, I’m just writing down what are I guess Theses that can just permanently sit as Things I Hold True

NYT Editorial board effectively endorses Andrew Cuomo today in the most weaselly possible way. “Don’t rank Mamdani, and it will probably be either him or Cuomo, sooo…”

Two of the three states with the largest population of people in the U.S. illegally are the red states of Texas and Florida. Trump, notably, does not name their cities when calling on ICE to execute more aggressive immigration raids. He does, however, name LA, Chicago and New York.

This’ll spark something longer later, but keep thinking about how the Rebel Alliance was created when millions of individuals frustrated by powerlessness against the Empire took action — not by striking out alone but by **making real physical compatriots**

only one way out

Call your representative TODAY: The White House wants Congress to take back approved funds for public media including NPR and PBS. Good jobs and local and educational programming are at risk. Tell your Congressperson to vote AGAINST H.R. 4! Call (202) 224-3121

I want to know which *exact* brain rot Vader AI video they showed Bob to convince him.

Guys, we don't have to do this whole thing over again.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

This is identity politics.

do we really need 1500 columns doing circular thinking, regurgitating 2020 arguments about 'the right way' to protest and when we 'technically' become fascist? or can we just get to the point:

It is the height of pride as a leader to believe the institution can’t go on without you.

“Why do Democrats lose?” It’s not because of podcasts, it’s because HALF of Dem voters are happy to vote for ***a resigned-in-disgrace accused sexual criminal who lied about covid deaths in nursing homes and abused his brother’s tv show for friendly press*** over even CONSIDERING the Left

On protests, plus some Musk / Trump fighting.

They’re digitally putting the Larry OB on the court for game two. Bullying works.
