This. There are some people who could be subject to deportation that I wouldn't piss on, but their spouses, kids and parents would never deserve to go through that type of pain.

"Why are you deleting photographs of black Medal of Honor winners?" seems like an incredibly easy and straightforward question for any reporter covering Trump or Hegseth, or attending a White House or DoD press briefing, to ask publicly and repeatedly.

Warnock needs to be primaried for voting for the Laken Riley Act.

(1/X) Media and political elites in the US haven't learned anything about how to deal with Trump over the past eight years. But Canada and Europe have. They have learned that when dealing with a malignant narcissist, you have to, in the words of Cedric the Entertainer, wish that a mofo would....

If you're not following @joshtpm.bsky.social and @tpm.bsky.social, you're missing out.

I'm officially calling off my battles* with online leftists in order to focus my energy on being mad at the Democratic party leadership**. *really more like squabbles. **including ossoff and warnock.

it doesn't matter if the CR was bad or anywhere near good; as long as lawlessnes reigns supreme in Washington you don't vote for a single GOP bill or a single GOP nominee, why is this so fuckin' hard to understand

This, precisely, is what I think Dem voters want from their representatives: direct confrontation with people who are used to bullying others both as a matter of substance and style. You don't have to back down to these fucking clowns.

WTF ossoff and warnock. Not even the first time these two names have shown up here.

If you ever have the misfortune of working for the rich you will see how stark this is. Cops debase themselves to jump on command for the slightly wealthy.

This sounds like a good plan.

all hope of wrenching the ship of state into a survivable direction lies in a broad coalition forming against the right with "punish the oligarchs" at the center of its platform

If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.

the primary thing that i want in a dem member of congress or a democratic governor going forward is to view the republican party as a collection of fascists and traitors who should be burned alive in front of one another as a warning to the rest of them, and everything else is (somewhat) negotiable

“Elon Musk made an illegal agreement with himself” Everyone who works at SpaceX and has a conscience should quit. Seriously. You’re all party to fraud.

Anybody keeping a list? My internal book of grudges is already at The Stand level.

Frankly there's a lot of historical precedent for the fact that Americans take a long time to get moving.

Counter point I am angry and leftists are near by and whiny

This is very good. I was apprehensive when I saw the song title, but she made it her own with real power.

It’s been a long fucking day, I’m tired, and I misspoke. Let me rephrase it in a more correct way. Fuck Hakeem Jeffries and almost every other elected Democratic official for forcing me to be the one to get arrested instead of them doing their goddamn job and being leaders.

I saw this art randomly and it instantly resonated with me. www.etsy.com/listing/5159...

Hell yeah.

What if the Democrats block funding the CR and the right, that has message discipline and owns all the media, proceeds to tie the impact of musk's attacks to the lack of funding. Feels like lose lose for the moment.

Hope is really hard, but it matters.

Early in the pandemic I listened to a "Tides of History" podcast discussion between the host and Mike Duncan ("Revolutions" podcast) and one of the things that stayed with me is Mike talking about how quickly things can actually change, using the French Revolution as an example. It stayed with me.

Billions on a national security state and for what?

Hell yeah.

Our military will soon be asked to make a very stark choice. There will be mass unrest in this country as these disastrous changes take effect. Trump will invoke the insurrection act at some point. You will be ordered to inflict violence on your fellow citizens. Think through this before it happens.

the people who regard even the threat of a war with canada as an amusing cocktail-party anecdote and not as a moral abomination drive me mad

Cancel your Washington Post, L. A. Times, and New York Times subscriptions, and send the savings to ProPublica, who is one of the few American outlets who have reported faithfully on all things related to Trump. 👇 ✊🏼

Fleabag is fantastic and once you make it through season 1 you get to watch season 2, which was delightful and I still think about it daily.
