What @charlotteclymer.bsky.social said. 10,000 times over.

I think all of this talk about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the national appeal of his policies misses the point. The power of the Mamdani campaign is in his ability to make real connections with real voters, policy be damned. Dems from California to rural South Georgia should learn from that.

Tyler Allgeier is great but maybe on 3rd and short don't do the exact thing MIN expects you to do on 3rd and short? As a treat?

I’d have to be nuts to fund that. (I’ll show myself out.)

Hoping for a better showing tonight from my beloved Northwestern Wildcats than last week. #GoCats #DontThrowFourPicks

I want to be like “@jysexton what do you mean, specifically” but I know…it’s everything.

Can’t decide whether to read this as “Oh shit, there’s an ice cream truck” or “Oh, shit a brick…”

Remember when Michelle Obama’s WH vegetable garden was an affront to freedom?

And don’t sleep on “Real Genius” either…

100% agree. It gets lost in the popularity of the “Airplane” and “Naked Gun” franchises, but this movie is a gem, and he’s fantastic in it.

These feel not only like good principles for covering Trump, but for how one processes/prioritizes/absorbs coverage of Trump (and the noise Trump floods the zone with), as well.

Well said, and these feel not only like good principles for covering Trump, but for how one absorbs/processes/prioritizes coverage of Trump as well.

100% agree with this, and it is frustrating that there are members of the party (most notably @aoc.bsky.social ) who understand this deeply and intuitively, and are being held back by the Party (literal) elders.

It won’t happen in this timeline, but a reasonable response to an air disaster like last nights’ would be to increase investments in the FAA and air traffic control, and to consider whether investments in rail infrastructure might lead to less congestion in the skies. Sadly, that’s a pipe dream.

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

This kind of timely and profound insight is why the Walgreens CEO makes $1.5M a year and $12M in stocks while his workers make $15 an hour.

Jimmy Carter putting his peanut farm into a blind trust reminds me of that time Donald Trump’s son-in-law took $2 Billion from the Saudis who murdered Jamal Khashoggi.

FACT: The United States is the only developed country in the world without universal health coverage for all of its citizens - and that's absolutely shameful, especially for the most wealthy nation on the planet.

Carter said it best:

“A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.”

I kept changing my mind which Carter cartoon i should go with. Here's all three.

Hi, I’m God.

People like Jimmy Carter go to Heaven.

People like Donald Trump go to Hell.

Hope this helps,

God

On a day like today, it is good to have @bittersouth.bsky.social to speak the heartache so many of us bitter southerners feel…Godspeed, President Carter.

The Empire State Building shines red, white, and blue in tribute to the life and legacy of President Jimmy Carter.

Great article, and another example of my new favorite phrase, “When in doubt, blame Reaganomics.”

If you wonder whether trickle down economics is working as designed…it is.

But please…more deregulation of our food supply, freedom fighters…
