I want to encourage GOPniks to run with this line. It did wonders for the Biden admin.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2h agoKUDLOW: Why is it people don't know there's an economic boom? It's not showing up in any of these numbers! How is that possible? TUBERVILLE: Our economy is really good if you look at all the factors
This is a really good piece. And a reminder that all of those GOP curious folks touting Marco as the ‘28 non-MAGA candidate are delusional.
Daniel Drezner@dandrezner.bsky.social · 14h agoMarco Rubio is ostensibly neglecting his State Department duties to stay close to Trump and focus on the important stuff… except for the most important foreign policy quagmire of the day. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/why-isnt-m...
I got my Ilyas confused on this so it took a second. So, yeah…
Corey Rayburn Yung@coreyryung.bsky.social · yesterdayIn addition to having no experience in immigration, their website shows Ilya Shapiro (!) and disgraced former law prof Joshua Wright (!) as Senior Counsel. I don't think this massive contract was awarded to give immigrant children effective, zealous advocacy. burkegroup.law/our-team/
Concur with the taco cat. But it’s not just about destroying LGBTQ rights, it’s also about destroying girl’s/women’s sports. Who would go through all of this bullshit for rec league sports? Depressing.

Wait, Geiger Capital? They were pretty pro-Trump prior to this. Right?

So yeah, a clear violation of the 1A. BUT… This is why religious groups and churches are harmed by this push to fund parochial schools with public dollars.
Christopher Hale@christopherjhale.bsky.social · 4d agoNEW: Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, facing ethics inquiries for misconduct, has threatened to strip state scholarships from Catholic schools unless the Church rewrites its vaccine doctrine. It is an unprecedented attack by an American state on the religious liberty of the Catholic Church.
Donald Trump (probably)- See? We need the anti-weaponization fund.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 5d agoBreaking News: Prosecutors are dropping charges against an Olympian accused of vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, saying damage was due to “botched” renovations.
The O’Neal WaPo uses AEI, the Manhattan Institute, Reason, and NR for its opinionators. In short, more of a gentry WJP opinion page. It’s a disaster and note that no one is talking about subscription numbers, only time spent on the editorial page site.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 5d agoBreaking News: The Washington Post’s top opinion editor resigned a little over a year after Jeff Bezos, the paper’s owner, hired him under a directive to shift the section toward “personal liberties and free markets.”
Just like that jawn in Virginia, the little shit didn’t do the reading.
Lincoln Michel@thelincoln.bsky.social · 6d agoA college professors is fired for teaching an Ottessa Moshfegh story that causes "mild discomfort" for one student. Implication is that DeSantis government was involved in the firing. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/u...
Well… The evidence keeps building for that impeachment trial.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoTrump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."
Me when I buy the Costco size of premade guacamole..
Jane Coaston@janecoaston.bsky.social · 6d agoah, the pesto incident (the problem wasn't the pesto, the problem was that the amount of pesto versus the expiration date of the pesto was an impossible challenge)

Also, lab leak, or bio weapon, vs natural origin is simply a political discussion designed to give Trump someone to blame for his incompetent response.
M. Korhonen@mkorhonen12345.bsky.social · 6d agoSame people: 1. It is Bioweapon! 2. There's no need to take any special measures—it's just the flu!
If true, this makes the US look stunningly weak after Trump’s pronouncements that Xi “promised” that PRC wouldn’t arm Iran.
Military Times@militarytimes.bsky.social · 6d agoIran is expected to receive within weeks a first shipment out of up to 400 Chinese-made shoulder-fired air defense missile launchers.
I’m not quite certain why the GOP thinks revisiting COVID is a good idea. The truth about the Trump response is pretty damning. A big reason why he lost in 2020 was because of the admin’s nonchalance.
Meanwhile, we’re destroying our soft-power tools for shots and giggles.

Ok, we all get that he’s trolling, right? Might be a tasteless joke, but that’s all it is. Wait for something other than a hat that has been in production for several years now.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 2w agoTrump announces he will run for a "fourth" term and dons a "Trump 2028" hat
Absolutely gobsmacking, really. The USSR was a bad place run by even worse people. Just because you don’t like right-wingistan doesn’t change that simple truth.
Joe Stieb@joestieb.bsky.social · 2w agoIt’s for good! For good goddamit! Also that framing of Russia and Ukraine fighting each other,’ I mean, ok.
All of that is nice, but it doesn’t necessarily say anything other than people hate chaos. They hated the perceived chaos of the Biden admin’s approach and they hated the chaos of the Trump/Miller approach
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 2w agoRelated: New Fox poll finds Dems +1 over GOP on which party would do a better job on immigration. Somehow this happened without any big Sister Souljah moments or any performative contrition about Biden/border. Quick, commission 100 NYT opinion and Atlantic essays to explain this!
Israel is not, nor has it ever been, America’s closest ally and anyone who thinks this can have their opinion immediately dismissed for idiocy.
The Free Press@thefp.com · 2w agoThe mayor accused Israel’s leader of genocide and the maiming of children. And he wants to make an enemy of America’s closest ally, writes Douglas Murray.
You really didn’t need to do this. It really is the Tea Party, part II. Throwing away winnable races because you don’t understand that it’s a 50-50 FUCKING COUNTRY!!!
Elizabeth Warren@elizabeth-warren.bsky.social · 2w agoI’m endorsing @abdulelsayed.bsky.social today—because he is THE fighter Michigan needs in the Senate.
I want to get excited about this, but the tug has been pulled out too many times before. But I do remember Morgan Magic. Difference is the hole the Sox placed themselves in through June.

Ok, Tubes should say which ones were illegally elected to their face. There needs to be consequences for this sort of hyper-partisan idiocy.
