Trump attacks Americans for complaining about the bad economy on his watch: “I don’t get any credit on anything”

Politics is how you make the people who most annoy you online suffer.

RE: the last screenshot, on Doug Burgum: It's worth noting that Burgum ended up being the point man in Trump's war against wind power, and so had to get comfortable blatantly and publicly lying to do that. Once you start getting comfortable with it, future instances become easy.

It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

I meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.

I usually hate on Substack for all the Nazi platforming, but today I'm going to hate on them for not understanding what journalism is. Like, add Polymarket data or don't, but let's not pretend that people speculating (in both senses) about events has anything to do with fact finding or reporting.

My ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.

NEW: Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit, AI-generated child sexual abuse material in recent months. Some as recently as this week. "These are ads that were reviewed, approved, and allowed to run by Meta, never encountering interference while the company collected the ad dollars."

Which reminds me. Look at how the DSA candidate did in the open primary in SEATTLE. Top 2 go to general & guess who's not going? This DSA person should probably try local/state politics first instead of the House. WA may be flipping 4 other House seats blue in Nov, as they led in the primaries, too.

A federal judge makes clear that, no, she will not hold off on her sanctions against his lawyers in the IRS settlement fiasco.

Ben Shapiro probably does not know enough history to even know this, but the way he is talking about Muslims as a nation within the nation who can never be integrated is almost verbatim what European nationalists said about Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Honestly is anyone surprised? I'm not. This is what you get when you elect a criminal who wants to be king to be President. Project 2025 told us exactly what was going to happen. And here we are.

Burgum (like Noem) bolsters my opinion that North & South Dakota should be combined into one state (when we admit DC to statehood), thus reducing the outsize national power of these very sparsely populated states.

The govt has fired *all* the immigration attorneys representing detained children and given a $150 million contract to a 26-employee law firm in Texas with ONE immigration attorney. @theyoungcenter.bsky.social's Child Advocates are now the last line of defense for kids in deportation hearings.

It’s going to need a consistent & relentless marketing /messaging push too, to tout every little quick win that can happen which improves life: “SAFE FOOD” “LOWER FOOD PRICES” “STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS” Accentuate the positive because right wing whining will go on 8 days a week

this is legitimately a huge problem that i don’t know how they will resolve, either from an executive or legislative standpoint, and it’s going to be the case across a lot more than just defense

I fundamentally do not know how to square the politics whereby Democrats will essentially have to tell the American people that because they (the voters) made an extremely stupid decision, they need to lower their expectations substantially for the foreseeable future, but here we are.

Ppl being shitty in the replies here are just miserable wreckers who are more interested in winning social media arguments than actually seeing Republicans lose control of congress.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

It's going to be interesting watching El-Sayed moderate and infuriate his edgelord supporters.

They refused to vote for Clinton, Biden, or Harris all while screaming “earn my vote” and just assume that’s how everyone treats politics cause they haven’t logged off of Reddit in 15 years.

It gets an actual chuckle out of me seeing people on here say "now the TRUE test is whether the shitlibs can live up to their own words and line up behind El-Sayed!" only for Stevens, Whitmer, every prominent Michigan Dem, the DSCC, etc. to have endorsed El-Sayed before they can finish the sentence.

Any anxiety or stress you're having about climate change now demonstrably being on a societal collapse pathway should be sharing this. We all have to become protestors actively doing everything we can to transform the world and buy more time. Every war ended and pipeline shut down is less carbon

I would also like to note that between Al Green being forced by Republican map fuckery to run against Menefee, & now Thanedar losing, the very loud online chicken little people haven’t done shit for the Democrats who push articles of impeachment despite the lack of current votes for them to succeed.
