lol the trad wife movement is a scam. A thread/

Sentient Gelatin really seems to resonate with people. This might be the lovable nickname for our followers we've always wanted.

taking my Work Brain out my skull and swapping it with my (much smaller) Night Brain from the fridge

Nothing has endeared Brad Lander to me like seeing him regularly trash talk Andrew Cuomo bitterly into a hot mic

Who up watching New York

I'd figured Mamdani wins early, Cuomo wins election day and it's just a question of margins. But that election day margin just does not seem to be there for Cuomo. This is looking very, very good for Mamdani.

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

ah, but is it as scandalous as biden old?

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

reporter 1: mister president we've been told that you can "hit the griddy very strongly" trump: [falls down entire flight of stairs] jake tapper: you know we never saw former president joe biden ever even attempt the griddy, what else was his administration hiding?

What happens when the president is unmoored from reality?

It's almost kind of quaint to bring up now, but not long after Biden's rough debate, he gave a press conference about foreign policy at the NATO summit that had detailed answers about foreign policy and the collaborators that form much of the press in this country gave not 2 shits about it.

If I were posting non stop in a way that showed I was detached from reality, my loved ones would do a wellness check. What do you do when it’s the president? And he has no loved ones?

This is a horrifying ruling that shows a disdain for basic human rights principles — made all the more unconscionable by the fact that the Republican appointees did so with no reasoning and on the shadow docket.

It's wild how many civic textbooks portray the Supreme Court as an institution that generally protects the rights of disempowered minorities

We need scientists to determine why almost every chud is built like an elderly pug standing on its hind legs.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

lmfao, man

please just block and move on. starving them of engagement worked. it will continue to work.

as someone prone to directly confronting people for stuff they say online, that from lee is the face of someone who did not expect to be confronted for something he said online

For a lot of relatively comfortable Americans, electing an emotionally incontinent imbecile was a bit of entertainment. A game. Good sport, owning those libs. I hope they’re duly entertained.

Yes. Short thread on why. A key source of ambiguity right now is whether US will or will not enter this war. This matters to Israel, but also to Iran. <1>

FYI @edzitron.com

lmao he looks miserable

these are our brothers and we should be building a better world together

We should make June 14th No Kings Day permanently.

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

OK. This is incredible content.

Can’t get up from the floor. The perfect floof demands attention.
