Politics is literally spun until it breaks. The tortured twisting of reality is an immutable component of the current American political landscape. - News / Analysis / Opinion - No chatty DMs accepted or responded to. Don't bother trying to sell anything.

The cracks are beginning to show in the Trump alliance and with the midterms still weeks away. This means that with wholesale losses in the House, and a possible capture of the Senate, the Trump presidency will be all but over. 😑

A huge thank you to CNN, MS NOW, Politico, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, Fox News, PBS News, NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, HuffPost, the Associated Press, Reuters, Getty Images, and AFP for standing together in defense of a free press.

The Mitch McConnell situation is a travesty and a disgrace. The guy doesn't know what planet he's on. This is American politics during the Trump era. The country deserves so much better than this. 🫤😑 Vote Blue. Nov. 2026.

I don’t want to hear any bullshit about I’m not voting for a progressive or I’m not voting for a moderate. It’s fucking stupid. Just vote blue! we can fix it later.

How not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.

Skip the civil war fantasy. The midterms are still winnable; he is still losing in court, and the actual work is boring and unglamorous, and nobody gets to feel heroic doing it. Predicting doom in advance is the cheapest possible way to sit this one out.

BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel says his interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico will NOT air on ABC due to threats from Trump’s FCC. The interview will instead be posted to YouTube.

Don't believe for a minute that everyone in Canada hates the United States because of Donald Trump. The intelligent people on both sides of the border are playing the long game. There's no sense in burning down the house, to save the house.

You know why felon won in 2024 against all odds? They focused on *winning* the election. Not on purity tests or ideological infighting, JUST WINNING. I’m begging Dems to focus on that. Win first, then on November 4, argue all day. Please focus.
