one thing that fascinates me about this entire state of affairs is that like, Matty and the associated other centrists assume that insurgents are obviously going to win, but half the reason they end up primarying machine pols is because the machines have become stagnant at actually delivering

i'm kind of obsessed right now with the Brooklyn machine under Rodnyse and the way it's just being chipped away by both the DSA and Republicans because it does not compete for votes. last cycle it made a deal to give a seat to the Republicans unopposed to avoid an internal leadership challenge.

Hegseth: "This is not endless. This is not protracted. We're not allowing mission creep. The president has set a very specific mission to accomplish, and our job is to unrelentingly deliver that. He gets to control the throttle."

I'll admit to having cooked up this one a while ago for when This went down.

INJECT THIS INTO MY VEINS

I know judge probably can't take it into account, but dawg was also flirting with Korean War 2 as far as I know, so yeah sending him to heaven is probably light punishment.

ngl I feel like insurrection at this level is just one of those things where you just have to do the maximal punishment for it. Basically no risk of mistrial, the socially optimal number of reoffenders is 0 and you really do want maximal deterrence lol.

I feel bad for them but this truly is some content

Q: Will you be recognizing Delcy Rodríguez's government as the official government of Venezuela? TRUMP: We have done that. We're dealing with them. They've done a great job. The oil is coming out and a lot of money is being paid.

Bluesky has this feature where this numbers just keeps going up over time. It was cute at first, but now I'm starting to suspect something might be wrong here

Six seconds of shooting. First one 19 seconds into the video by gunman on his knees, followed by 3, then 1. The last 5 shots came 4 seconds after the first one. Total of ten shots. Two shooters, at least.

Jeffies: "Donald Trump had the nerve to dismiss the popular opposition leader of Venezuela. He said that she did not have the support of the Venezuelan people. Donald Trump does not have the support of the American people! He's historically unpopular."

Trump: "We're gonna go steam first and then electric. Catapults, which is better, electric or stream? I'm gonna put in an order. Seriously. They're spending billions to build stupid electric. And the problem when it breaks you have to send up to MIT, get the most brilliant people in the world"

🇻🇪🇪🇨Venezuelan Democracy and Human Rights activists Yendri Velasquez and Luis Peche, who fled the Venezuelan dictatorship and refuged in Colombia (refuge request still hasn't been aproved in a year), have been shot by unknown assailants. They are alive. Venezuelan dictatorship main suspect.

Something I recalled that made me realize why these people are wrong: Trump is not driven by ideology but by personal obsessions and temporary fascinations which are tied to his narcissism and environment He is the least political president of any country ever, and THAT is the ultimate aberration
