Trump would do anything to get his personal lawyer confirmed as Attorney General, but he won't do that (give up the J6 rioter slush fund or limit his pretend tax fraud immunity). Trump Blanches At Blanche Confirmation Impasse, Will Take His Blanche And Go Home www.wonkette.com/p/trump-blan...

Trump Blanches At Blanche Confirmation Impasse, Will Take His Blanche And Go Home

He might try again after the two Republican Senate holdouts retire ... let's elect Democrats to their seats instead!

Most of the land in most farm counties is owned by 1-5 families. They run the place like their own personal kingdoms. There is SO much resentment and straight-up fury about this in rural areas. The fact that no political party's even really trying to speak to it is wild.

Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 6d ago

It's wild bc my YouTube comments are 90% "I'm a city person, I had no idea!" 0.01% angry conservatives (they've mostly given up on me 🤠) and 9.99% "I live/work/grew up in a rural area! And thank God someone's saying it out loud!" (this is the wind beneath my skeets, thank you!)

I want to re-skeet every one of Sarah’s threads about rural life in the US. Her work the first time I’ve ever gotten to see the experiences I had growing up in rural poverty in north Texas reflected in political discourse

bought candy at the pool for a 13yo and she tried to give me cash. i was like nahh it's nbd, and she goes "girl i have seen your car." 13yo girls remain undefeated. you think you're talking to a child but you're actually talking to whatever gods used to send to punish mortals for their hubris

This might be Graham's funeral, but it's Trump's show. There's one aspect of Teddy Roosevelt that Trump truly does embody. As Alice Longsworth Roosevelt famously said: "My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening."

Hannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations

The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.

A climate scientist says Trump blaming Canada is like causing a crash through reckless driving, then billing the other driver for the damage. Climate change—not Canada—is driving these extreme fires, and it's a global issue. 500+ wildfires are burning across the 🇺🇸, and some have crossed into 🇨🇦.

Even if the math is right, it’s far easier to win market share by differentiating than copying the leading brand; and DSA policies poll well in a vacuum—it’s Democrats they hate. It seems likely to me that the best way to get Republican voters is with candidates established Democrats fear and hate.

Mona Charen told @gregsargent.bsky.social on his podcast a couple months ago that Democrats have to learn to cater to independents because there are more conservatives than liberals and there just aren't enough Democrats to win. I can only guess that she can't do math nor read polls.
