An opposition party that struggles to defeat this man and his party in elections should dismantle and remake itself.

Sorry but "a brutal time for young men" is absurd. People saying "try to be nicer and respect everyone" over the past 20 years is not why a kid named Big Balls is in charge of Social Security. Also maybe ask some non-white males how long they've been told "YOU'RE BAD". It ain't new.

for the people in the driver's seat of the right wing cultural movement, an end to "DEI" always meant doing things like sending free money to a white lady who called a child the n word. sorry if you thought it was about a slightly annoying HR webinar you once had to watch or whatever.

Oh wow. Note: This response (below, which is real) to Trump’s tweet depicting himself as pope is from the New York State Catholic Bishops, who represent the collective bishops of the state. Among them is Cardinal Dolan of NYC, who Trump appointed to his new religious liberty commission this week.

Fuck RFK Jr for his beliefs generally but especially fuck him for claiming to care about anyone’s health but shrugging his shoulders at this so he can complain about autism some more

seems kind of weird that the vice president of the united states is openly supportive of german neo-nazis!

every single unrealistic, contrived “there’s gotta be a better way” mishap you ever saw on a commercial for an As Seen On TV type product is something that would happen to Donald Trump if he tried to use a garden hose or a drawer or whatever

Does Axios think Pete Hegseth should go to CECOT then

I would really love it if mainstream journalists would seriously consider the possibility that RFK Jr.'s politicized HHS under Trump is as accurate about gender-affirming medicine as it is on autism or vaccination.

lot to chew on in this thread and out of all of it the part that drives me the craziest is people who respond with a macro level "calm down now, and stop undermining the people who fumbled the bag" as they follow up the fumble by trying to kick the bag into a sewer

The critics focused on tone because they largely agreed with the right substantively on the race and gender issues in question, but wanted to avoid saying so openly to preserve their social standing and self-image as liberals.

Wait, are you saying there’s a way to work immigration as an issue in politics other than starting with “look we all know it’s bad and we need to deport lots of people, but”?

Every Democrat who voted for Rubio, which was literally all of them, should get asked about it. What have they learned, etc.

This sort of unambiguous, unapologetic pro-immigration message is so much more effective than unconvincing hemming and hawing about how actually Democrats would do a better and more effective job of being anti-immigration.

Yes! Just what we need! My only complaint is that she may simply be too young.

IT’S REALLY BAD THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WILL SEE FAKE PHOTOSHOPPED POSTS ON TWITTER POSTED BY NAZIS AND BELIEVE THEM

Twenty years ago, a top U.S. admin official being merely implicated in a sexual abuse scandal would have been an international news story, with wall-to-wall coverage until they resigned.
