shut up, world

my deepest regret is having but two thumbs to shitpost for my country.

In a general election I would vote for Gavin Newsom because he beats whatever Republicans do to jump the the "psychotic idiot on a global murder and crime spree in his diapers" shark. But if it comes to that God truly hates us

France's unrest exposes the consequences of failing to tax the wealthy. California's billionaire-tax fight raises the same fundamental question about who should pay to make a nation succeed... hartmannreport.com/p/is-gavin-n...

Could we get one fucking article with interviews with people who didn't vote for Trump about how we were right and how much it sucks to have been right and how pissed we are at everyone who didn't listen to us? wapo.st/4rYrVlw

In Ohio, some Trump voters question whether he’s still fighting for them

High costs have opened a divide between Trump, who spoke in Ohio on Monday night, and some who voted for him. His support for data centers has widened that gap.

If David Brooks were worth responding to, Ossof should say "'Gestapo' means 'Geheime Staatspolizei', or 'secret state police'. Republicans have parroted the legal justifications of Werner Best. My opponent has well documented ties to Nazis and white nationalists. I am not 'comparing' them to Nazis."

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

is @ms.now still treating Tom Tillis like a serious person so he can shill his stupid book? There were no rational, good faith reasons to confirm any of these obvious degenerates, and anyone who did is an irredeemable clown who needs to STFU and crawl back under their rock

It's easy to write to Jeanine Pirro off as just another nasty right-wing clown. But there should be severe consequences for what she did. She tried to ruin someone's life. It was malicious, dishonest, intentional, and an egregious abuse of office that undermined the credibility of the federal bench.

BREAKING: We're asking the DOJ & Interior IGs to investigate Davey Hearn's prosecution They botched a $14M pool job & pinned it on an innocent citizen The judge said they shot first & asked questions later. @democracydefendersfund.org, Steptoe & WLG have questions of our own👇 -TN

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

Breaking News: Paramount officially closed its deal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, creating a vast media empire.

Let's be absolutely clear about one thing: Donald Trump is not a president. He's a squatter, being kept in the White House by Republicans to prevent us from having a president. Same goes for his whole goddamn cabinet
