This story exemplifies the reason people are outraged at ICE. This guy did nothing wrong. He broke not a single law. He was a guard at a base that housed US troops. He came here legally through humanitarian parole. He had an asylum application pending. Yet the Trump admin had ICE grab him anyway.

why would "popularists" keep bringing up coalition-splitting issues. could it be that they have sincere political beliefs they want to impose and are hiding behind a facade of just-the-facts empiricism? couldn't be

Its so funny that self-important data nerds like Jain keep on lecturing us about "candidate quality" and this is the sort of people who they associate themselves with. Complete nonsense crafted in a lab by consultants.

I think one of the uglier takeaways of the last several years is that there is basically zero value for Democrats in building legislation around trying to get structural buy in in red states bc Republicans dont care about destroying the economies or job opportunities for their own constitutitents.

The UK is low key weirder than the USA because the USA is simply dumb and weird whereas the UK is a strait-laced country that thinks the USA is dumb and weird, then proceeds to slavishly ape it.

I do not think its the Democrats' job to undermine the foundations of the global financial system any further so that a bunch of kids who gambled their life savings on a meme coin can be bailed out by the FDIC when a rug-pull happens.

Crazy that our nominally Republican Fed Chair is telling the most privileged kids in the country to fight while a third of the Democratic Senate caucus is voting with Republicans to help suborners, drug dealers, and pornographers access the wonders of cryptocurrency.

Very funny argument to make for a man whose personal policy preferences were the center-front of the 2024 Democratic campaign, with predictable results.

"[his] administration has suspended foreign aid to Congo and the resettlement of refugees from that nation, thus abandoning countless victims of the very same real-life humanitarian catastrophe that he’s cherry-picking imagery from to portray an atrocity against whites that isn’t actually happening"

The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans. Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect. I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”

It rocks that anyone with half a brain could clearly see that Starmer would be a dogshit PM and he has absolutely delivered on that promise. Generational run.

You can speculate why, but the current President is very clearly completely blatantly checked out of the basic governance of the country, but our media better are busy talking some more about who knew that Joe Biden had a cold in June 2024.

Putting aside the fact that this is a bad-faith interpretation of what he said, I do think a problem with the discourse around Pope Leo being "liberal" is that people who aren't Catholic or have no understanding of internal Vatican dynamics think this means he's an Enlightenment liberal or something

Pretty widely reported now that the Department of State is directly targeting pro-Palestinian protesters based on doxxing websites like Canary Mission and Betar, but Josh doesn't seem to think there's a logical reason as to why protesters would wear masks.
