media when maga wins an election: we must travel the country and speak to these voters and extend empathy to them and give credence to their bigotry and false beliefs media when the left wins an election: is this the end of the american experiment

Progressives have to quickly mend fences after a win and butthurt candidates like Crockett get to do this months after losing.

Asked Jasmine Crockett last night in St. Louis if she thinks James Talarico can turn Texas blue this fall. “I don't know,” she said. She doesn’t buy the polls. “I watch money… When I look at the money, if Republicans start spending money in Texas, then I'll be convinced.” MORE:

waiting for a weird nerd to show up and explain that crashing rockets into the moon is perfectly normal and fine and really it's what you want if you knew anything about the space industry

"We love our troops don't we folks support the troops our brave men and women in uniform stand for them stand for the troops their sacrifice inspires us" it was all bullshit this entire time. A joke to all of them

CNN's Richard Quest sat down for a slice of "ugly pie" with the owner of the MidPoint Cafe on Route 66 to see how her business is doing amid concerns about affordability across the US.

The United States was attacked and the President not only doesn’t care, but blames the United States. Impeachable. The media has to make this the big deal that it is.

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

No mention at all of how wildly illegal, unconstitutional, & criminal all of this is. Just a game of inside baseball & personalities to these wildly unserious people. Incredible in 2026 to be behaving like this.

Dan Froomkin/Press Watch/Heads Up News@froomkin.bsky.social · 5d ago

This is a completely insane interview in that the things they are discussing are so alarming that their heads should be exploding and yet they are calm. History will be unkind to those, like the NYT, who underreacted to Trump’s violation of the country. 1/2 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/o...

Senator Bernie Moreno -- who refuses to comment publicly on his daughter's allegations that her ex-husband physically abused her and her daughter -- tries to shame Dr. Fauci for not listening to right-wing cranks and Fox News pundits. He even asks: "You can't even look at them?" You first, coward.

lmaooooo -- Bernie Moreno asks Fauci to apologize to Laura Ingraham (who is standing behind Fauci) and other right-wing grifters

I’m genuinely mad this doesn’t have a thousand shares. If you are older than 40, this joke is for you.

You can’t. Douthat on television?

There is nothing like laughing your ass off with a friend you’ve known for 32 years, even if it’s only over text.

"They know this is TV, right??" a CBS News senior staffer texted me about this news. "I hate it here," another CBS reporter said.

Scoop: I’m told that Ross Douthat is exiting The NYT and is expected to take a role at “60 Minutes.” News expected to be announced soon.

So stupid that a bunch of morons have made it necessary for him to go on tv and say this

Beshear: "There's an argument that August 3 is a date where I could not later call a special. Those that are really pushing this are under the impression a Dem might be able to win. It's been since '92 that we had a Dem senator in KY ... not having McConnell show up isn't necessarily a bad thing"

I am both suspicious and contemptuous of them

ArgellaStone@argellastone.bsky.social · last wk.

Mitch McConnell isn't dead, but he is dying, and the best possible situation for Democrats is the one we have now, where he's too sick to leave the hospital but too stubborn to resign, and you should be extremely suspicious of people demanding Democrats rescue the GOP from this situation.

This entire administration is a bunch of lowlife soulless sociopaths. Every single cabinet member. Every single deputy and aide. If you willingly work for Trump you have no place in humanity.

GM CEO Mary Barra is introducing Trump at his rally. Something to keep in mind if you're in the market for a vehicle anytime soon.
