This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

The left needs to work with liberals because a) the left is mostly liberals even if people pretend they aren't and b) the number of people who are committed to leftist politics is absolutely tiny.

I've seen it from a couple of agencies already. Sent from an "HR" OPM address. The spam-ass subject line is "What did you do last week?"

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

In modern history, what is the least popular that party leaders have ever been to their OWN voters? Second place was the GOP in 2009, where their net approval with Republican voters was only +6. Currently Dems are -8, shattering all previous records.

I fucking hate this framing because, yknow, there are also Jews under Trump. I’m pretty sure the Jews living under Trump today aren’t like “wow all these Nazi salutes sure are not about me”

Between this and his comments to the governor of Maine it looks clear that he is using unconstitutional coercion/extortion to compel policy outcomes at the state level that his office doesn’t give him the authority to dictate.

After Raskin issued a harsh takedown of Musk, triggering a Twitter fight between the two, Raskin pressed further, asking Musk a simple question: As someone who supposedly works for the government now, will he submit to basic financial disclosure and conflict-of-interest rules?

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraine’s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didn’t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

As I've said, it's ironic on the level of the most exaggerated Greek tragedies that we had this hypertrophied, unassailable military that we all paid for and a massive intelligence gathering system, and we got destroyed by a fake news channel that we were stupid enough to play on military bases.
