ICYMI, the Democratic nominee for Michigan's upcoming senate race in November took a stab at explaining why the lettuce epidemic is the fault of the Trump admin:

Mel Brooks once said that you can never get even with a truly evil man through rhetoric, but "if you can make people laugh at him, then you’re one up on him.” He was referring to making fun of Adolph Hitler, but I think the Nazi leader in the U.S. could also be the object of the comment.
Amir Hassan can still win if Mike Pence has the courage.
The Downballot@the-downballot.com · yesterdaySeems 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.
El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."
Question they should ask that idiot panel: “ by show of hands only, who believes Trump won the 2020 election?” Leave them no choice. Raise their hand or stay silent.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 14h agoSCHIFF: When Trump ran against Hillary Clinton, who won? CANDEUB: Um. Trump was certified as winner S: Did he in fact win? C: He was certified S: Do you have some doubt about if he won? C: I have no doubt he was certified S: When did it become so difficult to answer such a simple question?

Occurring to me that AIPAC has $30m less to spend on conservatives in general elections than they would have.

I have this rule of thumb about political pundits: Would I have a more accurate or less accurate view of the world as it is today listening to this person vs. simply listening to Rage Against the Machine's self-titled debut? If the answer is "less," which it almost always is, feel free to disregard

El-Sayed on Islamophobia: "That's the only play they got. They're gonna point at me, they're gonna point at my name, like, 'Wow, he's different.' That's the best you got? You can't actually talk about what you want to do? My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is now taking us to war."

I almost have a masochistic enjoyment of seeing UB cards at this point. Don't pull back now, this is what everyone wanted, right? Look at the fucking Rick and Morty Freak, that's what sells boosters for WOTC now
As a certified UB hater and Star Trek lover, the extremely polarized reactions to this freak are filling me with joy.
Paige, TheMaverickGirl@themaverickgirl.bsky.social · 15h agoWhat the fuck is this
Texas isn't a red state. It's a state held hostage by gerrymandering and voter suppression. Hell, earlier this week they announced they're shutting down half the voting centers in Tarrant County (that's Fort Worth, 2.2 million people) and kicked everyone out of the hearing who wanted to comment.
John DeVore@johndevore.bsky.social · 16h agoThis is a sentimental essay about politics, which I know isn't the fashion, and yet the editors at @newrepublic.com let me write something personal about the Lone Star State. Link in the replies.
The booing of what sounds like a foreign (and no doubt in the man's mind, 'Islamic') name, really speaks volumes about the mindset of some Trump supporters. Even when Trump is gone, this white Christian nationalist section of US society will still remain.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 11h agoLOMBARDO: So I know the pastor spoke about Officer Abdelnabi-- TRUMP RALLY CROWD: *Boooooo* LOMBARDO: No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently
Hearings like this are a reminder that if you work for Donald Trump, you are a person of low character and have no integrity. There are no exceptions.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 13h ago😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:

Cameron 🇺🇸🗽🦅@cameroncorduroy.bsky.social · yesterdaypeople love to post about how "you're not gonna like it when there's millions of unmarried aimless young men" and like Japan and Korea have been running this field experiment for years and they're mostly just playing video games and jerking off
My toxic gamer trait is that I hate when people turn off ingame music when playing games with banger ass OSTs yes I know you wanna edit your own music over it in your youtube video but I hate not getting to hear it
El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250
