This is so disappointing from her, she is proving her most ardent detractors correct. The Michigan primary was as nasty as I've seen this year and Stevens still immediately threw her support behind El Sayed, but Crockett is 2 months into her temper tantrum and its tough scenes.

She's really starting to remind me of Anthony Weiner; a backbench Democrat representative who built an aggressive media personality into a national following and then completely fell apart when exposed to scrutiny, due to being an overweening narcissist without any deeper loyalties.

Let me at him

I think it's good and cool, actually, that Anders Folk is running to be the guy in charge of prosecuting ICE agents while taking money from the lawyer defending ICE agents.

This is incredibly professional and encouraging. I didnt know much about her as I actively tried to stay out of following this campaign given how fucking horrific our own states primary was here in Maine, but my sense was that neither side was going to behave this way. Good on Stevens here.

For federal elections, splitting the GOP into two competing crank Nazi movements would be great for Democrats. At the state/local level, however, we'd be condemning large portions of the South and Midwest to governance by Crossfit George Wallace's.

stating that women and girls need to be protected from trans people is absolutely hate

Trump knows nobody vandalized the reflecting pool but he keeps harping on it because we've entirely moved on from the fact he gave like $10M to his batman villain looking buddy through a no bid contract to do a shoddy job turning it into an algae pool for duck shit.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration has detained more than 50 spouses, parents of US troops in immigration crackdown, AP review finds.

I didnt really have a dog in this fight but before bed saw he was winning by 7 or 8 points and saw this when I got up to take the dog out and thought oh wow he ended up losing? Such ridiculous framing.

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

One of the worst draft picks in Patriots history. The guy just did not have the emotional make up to play professionally.

I worry that most cynical among us, hopped up on 30 years of law and order rhetoric, will say "this is the system working: he didn't do anything wrong and now he's free." As if the terror and wide-scale publicity of an arrest and federal prosecution is not a horrible punishment in and of itself.

Brian Beutler@brianbeutler.bsky.social · 6d ago

Had the tab open for weeks but finally read the New Yorker's Tate brothers expose. Among many thoughts: that reporting ought to be an existential emergency for MAGA and the international far right, but the reaction is eerily mute due (perhaps) to the decline of reading and weak political opposition.

AIPAC is bad, it supports a lot of bad candidates, its electioneering is often sketchy. No argument there. It also hasn't been particularly successful in achieving the outcomes it wants, and its transformation into the omni-villain of left-wing politics has obvious, disturbing historic echoes.

Ok so this lady says solar panels are getting built on "the most productive farmland" in her area. Which just ain't true at all. It ain't true here in NC either. Where I ALSO hear that talking point over & over again. Smells like astroturf! So let's get the dirt on solar farms & dirt ✨

David Roberts@volts.wtf · 6d ago

I genuinely don't know what to do about this. In our diseased information environment, one MAGA-adjacent "influencer" can do more to shape public opinion than mountains of studies or facts. Where are the pro-clean-energy influencers to counter this shit?
