I wonder what it'd take conservatives doing for people to stop writing these "to be sure" paragraphs. When will it be time to consider the possibility that the ideas of American conservatives have been stupid and evil and that the left was right not to take them seriously? What more has to happen?

I really wish people would be more careful about posting protest pics on social media. Think about how chaotic 1/6 was and how many people they were able to identify and find in that mess - and those were more or less ethical actors doing the searching

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Republicans in Congress are hoping you won’t pay attention to them for the next 36 hours. Why? Because they're pushing through their unpopular plan that gives tax handouts to billionaires and billionaire corporations and leaves everyone else in the dirt. youtube.com/shorts/RZ-nl...

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

one thing i think the media’s surprisingly aggressive response to these tariffs shows is that in american society outrage over economic policy is seen as non-partisan (or safe, from the pov of a headline editor) in a way that outrage over equally egregious attacks on the democratic system are not.

I don’t know if y’all realize this, but Toupee Fiasco is a figure head. He’s not in charge. The Project 2025 crew, Heritage Trust, and Apartheid Clyde are in charge. They let him sign the EOs, do interviews, and golf because that’s all he cares about. Oh, and not being in jail.

Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long. Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

This is SO much worse than Hillary‘s emails—it’s not even in the same universe. Don’t let them make that bullshit comparison. She wasn’t sharing war plans. She wasn’t in an unsecured text group sharing classified documents and state secrets. She was actually qualified for her job and not a traitor.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

Just reminding everyone that there was a Democrat in the 2020 presidential cycle who not only rightfully named childcare as infrastructure she had universal childcare in her platform. It's not a new issue but it was ignored because old men sucked all of the air out of that campaign cycle.

The more coverage a story gets, the more important readers think it is. So it matters when the NYT inflates flimsy Dem ‘scandals’ while downplaying real, criminal ones from Trump and Republicans. It’s not just bad judgment — it shapes public perception.

The reason why we were all told to hate Hillary in 2016 goes back to 1993 and Gingrich mobilizing every aspect of the American right, including powerful media figures to paint Hillary Clinton as the very bride of Satan, crawled out of hell to ruin everyone's lives by giving them healthcare.
