Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

Q: Can you explain why Energy Secretary posted then deleted a tweet saying the Navy escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz? LEAVITT: I haven't had a chance to talk to him, however I know the post was taken down very quickly & can confirm the Navy hasn't escorted a vessel at this time

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

"A more soporific set of headlines would be hard to write.” That's what I told @sulliview.bsky.social about 2 stories that NYT put atop its Sunday front page, while it reduced No Kings coverage to 2 tiny photos below the fold and a story on Page 23. margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/who-cares-...

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

I have never seen any example of the left "hating" young men that doesn't distill to "refusal to coddle them/insistence on treating them like adults with agency."

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.
