I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

👇🎯💯

It will take aggressive policy responses, fundamental institutional reforms, a sh*tton of public $$, & a lot of people being prosecuted & jailed for their lawless authoritarian crimes. If it takes generations, it will be the failure of government & imagination & elite accountability. Again.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

And ones the airline PACs won't have enough money to save all of them.

You're a disgrace to America. Resign and let someone who isn't a traitor their party and country lead.

You're a coward and a disgrace to America.

Dick Durbin can room with Merrick Garland in the Neville Chamberlain Retirement Home.

"Led" is doing A LOT of work in that sentence.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Members fly and the donors and people close to them fly a LOT. My first thought when I’d heard they were caving

On some level, you have to admire Chuck Schumer’s deep commitment to absolutely nothing.

Might you have missed some of the depth of Tuesday's results, beyond the big headline races?

I'd been watching roughly 200 races heading into Election Day, so here's a thread of some of what you don't want to skip over!

🧵

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

So one or a dozen of them could sign it right now and start the clock. Since they won't, I'm doubtful they'll vote for it either.

Prices since Trump took office:

-Groceries: ⬆️ 2.7%
-Utilities: ⬆️ 11%
-ACA premiums: ⬆️ 26%
-Overall consumer prices: ⬆️ 3%

Trump: “I don't want to hear about the affordability.”

Any masked ICE agent is a criminal. Otherwise, what are they hiding?

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Which makes everyone wonder how he keeps winning.

This. Was reading until I found if someone else had this answer. Between spiders, their webs, and dust it's enough to kick the sensor off. Vacuum and/or canned air should clear it out.

Which ones have made this change (which communities)?

Nobody asked me but whoever runs on the platform to prosecute corruption, prosecute extrajudicial murder, prosecute DHS, get tech bros outa gov't, and grind confederate statues into dust will get my vote in the '28 Dem primary.

Okay I’m reading it now and, no surprise, it suuuucks in exactly the ways you would expect.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

I scrolled through the @1stforall.bsky.social's gallery of print front pages for local coverage of "No Kings" protests. Here are some of the standout papers, starting with the Daily Sentinel of Grand Junction, Colorado:

Yep. I especially like the point about the police forces being out numbered. You can see it in their response both to the protests and also on social media - especially in larger cities.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

The last person in Montana Media who asked a Guardians of Pedophiles party member (Grifter Greg) a hard question no longer works in Montana. The endless Charlie Kirk TV coverage tells us all we need to know about the station managers and also the journalists who accept it.

He did it again for the 5 year anniversary
