He’s gonna sit home in November or vote for Rogers, not because of anything AES said or did or plans to do, but because some rando on Blue Sky was untoward to a mythical moderate figure.
The Dude@thedude07.bsky.social · 5h agoYeah, reactions like this remind me of Bernie after Nevada... And they wonder why moderates won't turn out for them? Maybe stop threatening them?
It’s absolutely hilarious to see “moderates” and “centrists” completely melting down and losing their shit in here today. They are fully certain that Dems are finished now. These are the same people who told us to wait until the final results are in.
This- “…the evidence is quite clear that voters don’t think Democrats are too extreme. They think Democrats are weak”.

Arnold Palmer has the all time PGA record for shooting his age when he hit a 71 at the age of 71. But Trump of course is shooting a 70 at age 80 making him a much better golfer. Why is everyone laughing?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoTrump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”
whoa apparently the President is shackled to his bed in a dedicated diarrhea WARD?
Which is all to say - far-left vs. left vs. center-left vs. center is just something Democrats use to distinguish internally, everyone else doesn't care.
Hey Bernie Moreno: Save this energy for Max Miller for throwing boiling water on your daughter. Y'know instead of endorsing him.
I hate living in Ohio as it is, but then I have to sit here and watch our fucking dipshit of a senator, Bernie Moreno, ignore the fact that his daughter is being abused by ANOTHER Republican from Ohio, all while he berates the man that literally saved millions of lives. What an absolute fucking joke
You cannot withhold funds Congress appropriated as a weapon to punish states for how they voted. It is an abuse of power, plain and simple, and the people who lied to Congress about it need to answer for it. I am not letting this go. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

The entire point of this is so that future US governments can no longer defund Israel militarily operations because they will be a part of the US military.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2w agoTomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.
This is Durbin's 28th yea vote for a Trump nominee, Fetterman's 52nd, Heinrich's 24th, Hirono's 6th, Kaine's 43rd, King's 49th, Peters' 24th, Rosen's 36th, Shaheen's 60th, Slotkin's 29th, and Whitehouse's 22nd.
I mean, corruption and crime is absolutely central to the conservative project, so I guess this makes sense.
In the last 45 years, the top 1% have taken 50 trillion dollars from the bottom 90%. Republicans did this, with supply-side nonsense, warmongering, racism and fear. Plus a bunch of rah rah fake patriotism. #Blues
Here's something I post from time to time. My answer to a reader who asked me: what could journalists do NOW to break with some of their more corrosive habits.
It's wild that the Democrats that say the DSA are an existential threat to America are the same Democrats that say America need a strong Republican party. They don't believe in anything and they love losing. Awful shit.
Josh Kerr breaking the mile world record is a bigger and more joyous story than some boring golf and some football that hasn’t yet happened, but you’d never know that from the news
In the realm of questions posed during Senate hearings, this one from Ossoff -- "Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this?" -- ranks right up there with "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?"
