I like how we’ve already done this and the Chinese export controls won last time and will again this time.

Charlie Kirk was a terrible person, but his prowess at organizing was astonishing.

Democrats, progressive and moderate, are using tactics from the 1970s.

Republicans spend hundreds of millions on networking, jobs, and outreach every year. Democrats waste their money on obsolete stuff.

rightist plutocrats are doing politics. liberal plutocrats are doing charity. it’s an entirely different mindset.

ICE agents and Cook County officers in Chicago.

Texas National Guard in Chicago.

Illinois State Police man a line against protestors in Chicago.

Isn't it kinda weird that ICE agents are the only ones too scared to go without face coverings in Chicago? Cook County deputies, Texas National Guard and Illinois State Police are apparently fearless law enforcement officers whereas the ICE agents are terrified goons.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

the basic problem is that it is easier to reproduce an artist's style in almost every detail or answer most questions with like 88% accuracy than to walk up four steps

Abbot throwing fat insults fully knows that Pritzker (or anyone else) cant respond in kind given the justified social norms against mocking paraplegics that most of us follow

That 30-50 feral hogs guy vindicated over and over

I don't even care that much about the Maine race, but the whining from the "primary everyone" crowd about a contested primary is negatively polarizing me here. Just win the primary, man.

this piss tape was always going to be something much darker

Feels like "a bunch of ICE new hires are actually registered sex offenders" is a shoe waiting to drop given how certainly little vetting anyone is doing of these guys.

Speaker Mike Johnson, standing next to Emmer here, urged Democrats less than a month ago to "turn down their rhetoric," saying, "Nazis and fascists is not helpful."

As such, striking to see him stand quietly as a fellow Republican insists there is a "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party.

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

A peaceful protest rally under the Tom Paine motto "No Kings" is being held on the mall in Washington and in hundreds of other sites around the country. Prior No Kings rallies have attracted 11-12 million attendees, the largest political rallies in US history. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

Might feel like an inversion of the Civil War, but less than you might think. The federal government was thoroughly in the hands of the Slave Power in the 1850s. States resisted the Fugitive Slave Act; Dred Scott was SCOTUS. Secession happened b/c they wouldn't accept losing that control in 1860.

NYT headline Trump Has His Eyes on a Nobel Peace Prize. Will He Get It? President Trump has coveted the prize for years. The winner will be unveiled 48 hours after President Trump announced a breakthrough in the Israel-Hamas war.

Ms. Graeger also noted that some of Mr. Trump's foreign policy aims run counter to the prize's criteria - such as peaceful disarmament and international cooperation - given the U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear program, its withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and its cuts to international humanitarian aid programs like U.S.A.I.D. She added that Mr. Trump's domestic policy agenda points to an "infringement of the basic democratic rights."

One of the more bizarre stories I've ever read in the NYT. I don't remotely understand what its thesis is.

And it has a world-historic "to be sure..." graf in the 26th paragraph.

they need to be mocked relentlessly for this

oh did your special little guy not get his little prize? did your wittle boy not get his wittle trophy? is pee paw sad he didnt get his trinket? these people are a fucking joke

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

the administration is laser-focused on making sure Americans don't get clean energy, so Saudi Arabia (Trump's paymaster) has someone to sell their oil to in 10 years when the rest of the world has moved on to solar+batteries

I dont really know much about Machado's work but I fundamentally do not believe you get to judge what links dissidents in Venezuela build abroad unless you are Venezuelan

Trump will just have to keep murdering fishermen until you stupid jerks give him the peace prize

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Horrifically creepy and emblematic of this rape-coded administration, but also a govt employee staying at the fuckin ritz on a business trip shows you how much the DC world has changed since the DOJ muffin scandal of 2011.

All to cover up the Epstein files.
