I mean, I gotta agree with him there. Just for VERY different reasons.

To me, this is just a periodic reminder that far-leftist purists have been screwing us and preventing *actual* progress for my entire adult lifetime.

It's been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading.

From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social here's a good one for you.

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

It’s OK. I can’t help being a pedantic scold.

"Do you think the Democratic Party should follow the lead of Abigail Spanberger or Zohran Mamdani?"

What if I told you that Democrats have different audiences in different parts of the country which require different messaging and it's okay for Democrats to tailor their messaging to beat the GOP?

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences.

The modern American right in 2025, folks.

New PEN America statement: “The firing and suspension of multiple journalists after the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk should alarm anyone who cares about free speech and a free press. Taken together, these measures risk creating a chilling effect that extends beyond those directly targeted..."

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

The Guardian has now completely retracted quotes from an anonymous high school source who had called Tyler Robinson a “leftist.” The source now says they couldn’t accurately recall details of their relationship.

“.. I can’t remember anyone ever telling me we can’t say anything critical about a civilian like this. He was not in our chain of command or anything,” the officer said.

True

In fewer than five years, Bari Weiss managed to parlay her resignation as an NYT columnist into a massive platform on Substack and then into editorial control of CBS News--making a vast fortune along the way--all off the absurd claim she's being silenced. First ballot hall-of-fame grifter.

“Mitochondrial challenges”, folks. Thank you for you attention to this matter.

Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own.

She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

The weirdest thing about Trump deploying the National Guard to the Nation's Capital is that he still hasn't released the Epstein files despite campaigning on that pledge, probably because he's directly complicit in a massive sex trafficking operation that targeted children.

Violent Crime in D.C. Hits 30 Year Low Total violent crime for 2024 in the District of Columbia is down 35% from 2023 and is the lowest it has been in over 30 years, according to data collected by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) a...

Trump's own DOJ website still has a press release up from January pointing out that violent crime in D.C. is at its lowest in more than 30 years.

Whatever happens in the coming days/weeks, just remember that these sociopaths claimed up and down they’d never drag America into another war.

when no one attends your shitty dictator parade

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

It's just so weird to see the official White House account being controlled by a pre-teen, 4chan, incel who just started reading Ayn Rand. So much of this is weird to the point of hallucinatory.
