Over one thousand children in the US died from Covid, so silly me thinks that's more important.

"COVID-19 quickly became the seventh leading cause of death for 1- to 17-year-olds from 2020 to 2022 and killed an estimated 1086 children."

I’ve been writing to and calling my Dem officials since I was a teen, demanding that they actually DO SOMETHING. Sometimes I got an actual form letter back! I wrote to Biden daily and only got the receipt (“the White House thanks you). Ditto in person interaction. We need a better party that cares!

They block those off, although this year they have a few things closer to the public areas. Last year we did Joe E. Brown park’s lights and the Old Gretna display instead (we have family members with mobility problems). Both are free drive throughs.

Idiot quisling.

Clearly on top of things.

how about no

Seriously, what is wrong with these people?!!

These dumb jerks. You JUST lost on this strategy! Why can’t you pitch inclusion and love instead of right wing hate?

Top Democratic Officials Target Their Most Vulnerable Constituents In New Strategy Document Top Democratic officials put out a new guide, entitled "Deciding to Win," that encourages Democrats to be a little more like Republicans on "identity and cultural issues."

1. A new guide has been released by some of the top names in Democratic politics encouraging Dems to act more like Republicans on "identity and cultural issues."

It becomes clear exactly what that means: queer and trans people.

I argue against it in my latest.

My boomer mom, a conservative democrat, is absolutely convinced that K Harris ran entirely on trans rights. She reads her local paper and watches pundits on PBS, and votes dem, but yikes. I can see her turning.

Douthat writes that 2024, when Harris lost by 1.5% of the popular vote, was "an ideological referendum and progressivism lost." I wonder why he didn't view the 2020 election, when Trump lost by 4.5% of the popular vote, as a far more significant loss for conservatism.

It wasn’t just the consent decree. Gusman refused to allow ICE unfettered access to the facility before that.

Yes! Woodfork got out ahead early and maintained a lead. If you can’t make much of a dent against Hutson, who was repeatedly corrupt, you’re not making a good case.

This was such a boneheaded move! Interestingly, I thought that the negative stuff Shorty put out against Woodfork— which was better done— sank like a stone.

These photos are the best!!!! Love!!!

Do they not understand that many federal employees are in fact Trump voters? Working for the government doesn’t make you a liberal.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

And they’re still normalizing him!!!

Not only based on tourism, but New Orleans is the economic engine of the whole state, followed closely by the other two cities mentioned. They also happen to be blue dots in a red state and have large minority communities. He’s jeopardizing the entire state economy in one of the poorest states.

RFK Jr.'s Tylenol attack insults women's intelligence Kennedy's tactics are straight out of the anti-abortion movement's playbook

"The Tylenol announcement broke through to a lot of people, in large part because there’s widespread experience with and acceptance of the painkiller.

"But it’s far from the only essential medication Kennedy wants to deny to pregnant women."

Like so many here, I’m tired of Ezra and Matt and all these other supposedly liberal pundit dipshits showing their true colors by admitting they don’t think women are humans, are worthy of medical care, and are completely disposable to an imaginary political strategy. You guys LOST this election!

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

Can we stop the BS “we won’t be” framing please? Biden and Harris were big on this, too. “We won’t go back” “we won’t let them”— followed by no plan, no facts, no actions. It’s a big part of what I hated about their lame messaging. Instead—How? Where? When? What can we do?

YES!!!!!

I really need everyone to remember these reactions when these two clowns, Shapiro and Newsom, are running for president as democrats. It’s not hard to say, Killing is bad and then just stop. You don’t have to glorify a terrible man.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

people are all like oh my god what if the AI robots take over? and listen, I’m not worried because it can’t be worse than men running things

Kafka is thinking, “My work was supposed to be a warning, not a handbook.”

If only Dems had also learned that people actually like government to work instead of rushing rightward all the time.
