so long sweet prince we will always remember you for having bad politics and trying to make up for that by speedrunning an impeachment vote until Jeffries bullied you into not doing that

Thanedar becomes latest incumbent to fall to a progressive challenger

The pervasiveness of the term “biological male” is proof that the style guides are determined by a certain type of staffer and it ain’t one that knows what my hormone panels look like

Did we ever find out if the A is for Asshole?

if establishment candidates want to start winning primaries again all you have to do is say that rich people have too much money and that youll prosecute trump admin staffers and republicans that have broken the law

It's "Electability" season once again so let me just remind everybody possessing this incredible power of foresight to tell us something useful like November stock prices.

In the last 20-odd years only one right-wing Republican in a major race was subjected to the “we can’t let them win the primary, they’re simply not electable in the general” argument that a dozen left-wing Democrats face every year. That person was then elected president twice.

it’s more expensive to be poor than rich, thats all the theory is and its not complicated and its obviously true for example buy toilet paper in singles instead of bulk for a year and see how much money you waste

Since people are still relentlessly abusing me over this, here’s why the so-called “boots theory” doesn’t make any sense. First, what is it? Some people have suggested I haven’t done the background reading, but it’s not a deep idea. It’s from a passage that’s four sentences long.

That's some racist-ass shit right there.

The Downballot@the-downballot.com · 22h ago

Seems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.

ATTENTION TO ALL DEM TAX CUT SLOPULISTS

Oops we thought this was Haley Stevens's office

this is an interesting interview and if i were clipping it for social media i would have excerpted "We're still a place where we don't downrank links. We love sending traffic to people. We send two million clicks a day to publishers" rather than the part that'll just piss people off lol

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this

If you told someone watching Minority Report that Samantha Morton wouldn't be dining out for the rest of her career they'd think you were insane. They hate a middle-aged woman so much in that town.

Those who spent time complaining about other actors Christopher Nolan hired may also want to consider he's just casting actors he's seen and liked and who haven't been getting cast in major roles as much as they should be. The guy gave Tom Conti two important roles in his films. See also:

the biggest and best movie of the year revolves around the perils and horrors that come with sacrificing a trans life in the name of a short term victory

Insane that democrats keep trying to cave on this issue rather than amplifying the fact that it’s being spearheaded by bigots and freaks

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Even if involved in narcotrafficking, this would be illegal. Due process.

CNN@cnn.com · 2d ago

The US military’s strikes on alleged drug boats have likely illegally killed “individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking,” Sen. Tim Kaine told the White House, following “a careful review” of classified information he has seen so far.

The administration has so deeply corrupted the way we think about this stuff that even its critics make concessions that effectively allow it to keep murdering people

Moreover, Kaine appears to be implying that he is not taking legal issue with the extrajudicial murder of actual narcotraffickers. which, you can’t murder anyone, that’s the thing about murder.

Remember these Texas Medical Center dashboards where they documented how many extra ICUs they opened?

RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>

Not loving the path that all of this seems to be on, tbh

This will be cited to justify the usual claims about how journalism is elitist and out of touch. But as Ryan's follow-up shows, it's actually because the NYT and WSJ are surviving while newspapers everywhere else are folding.

I'm sorry but Sophie Cunningham being a conservative who cooked her brain on Twitter is in no way comparable to Enes Kanter, who might have cooked his brain but due to losing his family and becoming an international pariah for standing up to autocratic human rights abuses in his home country

Oh, I see what's going on here. The Enes Kanter Diminishing Minutes Special. I should've checked a long time ago.

Every women’s league is going to have to deal with the fact that crying about trans people is a much more stable career path than playing women’s sports

i mean look: a whole war got fought. people died to settle the question of whether we were going to be a multiracial democracy or not. the scumbags lost. the constitution got amended. this question was squarely answered by the supreme court itself. you cannot answer this correctly? disqualifying

i don't mean to be naive, but it's really pretty simple. in the law there are going to be slam dunk cases. it's sucks when you don't like the result but if you cannot say yes, this one here is a slam dunk under the rubric we use and it is not my place to try and wish that away? not qualified sorry

that Jewish Zionist Democrat, Andy Levin, was also the nephew of one of Chuck Schumer's longest-serving colleagues, so there's also shockingly little personal loyalty involved

rev. howard arson@theophite.bsky.social · 3d ago

man, Haley Stevens being personally selected by AIPAC to primary a very senior Jewish (and Zionist) Democrat out of Congress for being insufficiently deferential to Netanyahu, and then being handpicked by the party to run, really goes to show how absolutely no party loyalty is expected of moderates
