Eric Bias 🏳️‍🌈🖖🚴

One of the biggest sins of this administration (it's a long list) that we'll have to figure out how to live with for decades.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

“This is silly”

-Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer

The Trump regime is dissolving the Union unilaterally, that's what these actions *are*—repudiation of the American constitutional order vis-a-vis federalism.

Impressive how one political party can control the White House, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, but not bear responsibility for whether the federal government functions. Neat trick.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

The USSR fell 34 years ago people you just sound goofy.

Guy on the radio talking about Mamdani like we'll be rationing potatoes during the second coming of the Soviet Union.

This is precisely the claim that evidently animates the rigthwing majority on the Court: That any "burden" placed upon the regime by insisting the constitution is still in effect, the separation of powers is still a thing, and the law is still the law, causes the government irreparable harm.

Really interesting tidbits in this latest NYT focus group

Shadow docket: In a 6-3 one paragraph announcement, the court indicates that the President is entitled to fire United Nations employees because why not

Jokes on them I'd rather pull my teeth out than post regularly on LinkedIn.

In case you have any doubts about the intentionality of the censorship, this is a real screenshot:

I hate it here, moving to the moon.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Kirk, to my way of thinking, was not a real conservative, at least in the American sense. The point of our conservatism is to conserve a liberal political order — open, tolerant, limited and law-abiding. It’s not about creating a God-drenched regime centered on a cult of personality leader waging zero-sum political battles against other Americans viewed as immoral enemies.

The Triumphant Return of ‘Tinsel Teeth’ As for Kirk’s style of argument, owning inarticulate liberal kids in mass audience settings for the sake of producing viral videos isn’t real engagement, much less education. Did Kirk ever lose an argument, at least in his own mind?

my god. Bret Stephens is a harsher critic of Charlie Kirk than @ezraklein.bsky.social is

One pretty foolproof way to know your government is fascist is when your government tries to punish you for calling it fascist.

JD Vance is doing the Reichstag Fire the right way.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Breaking: The @wsj.com is reporting that the comment was not made by Brian Kilmeade but by an unidentified transgender person

hoping to see more charts like these enter the discourse tbh

Taking our wins wherever we get them.

Online right-wing rhetoric began shifting last night from saying the left-wing must be destroyed because someone on the left supposedly killed Charlie Kirk to saying the left-wing must be destroyed because there were people on the left who celebrated his death.

In case anyone was wondering.

I would not say that Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way when he called last month for the "full military occupation" of American cities with high crime rates until the problem is solved. I wouldn't say he was doing things exactly the right way when he urged Mike Pence to ignore the electoral votes cast for Joe Biden by swing states in January 2021. Nor would I say he was a model practitioner of politics when he applauded Trump's pardon of the January 6 thugs earlier this year, describing them as "hostages" and celebrating their release as "bold action to save people from lawfare tyranny." And I guess I wouldn't say that he was setting a fine political example when he called for a "patriot" to bail out the man who broke into Nancy Pelosi's home and beat her elderly husband with a hammer.

Damn. This dude writes for the Dispatch!

This was the real tragedy of September 10th.
