The entire pundit class has convinced people for so long that their “analysis” was somehow necessary and valuable when in reality it was just a con game to manufacture consent for bias-confirming “strategies” that only benefited the capitalist class and guaranteed pundits career security.

Big White Christian Nationalist Wedding

there’s gonna be a huge, state produced wedding as if it were for royalty with big corporate media buy-in because grifting never stops

It’s worth considering how an Andrew Cuomo mayoralty would objectively be a disaster and everybody knows it—especially his backers. But they don’t give a shit about the day after, only thwarting the rise of any potential alternative. A striking demonstration of the nihilism of the political centre.

Here’s What Trump’s Ballroom Donors Want - The American Prospect The price tag on Donald Trump’s garish White House ballroom, now up to $350 million, keeps increasing. That’s because the cost of construction isn’t nearly as important as having an inventory of donat...

Corporate donors to the Epstein Ballroom at the White House all have needs from the government. Looking back through @prospect.org reporting, I detailed what every company actually expects to get from their investment.

This is a masterclass in repeating carefully workshopped robotic talking points that miss the forest for the trees and are irrelevant to the question at hand: Trump chose to build a ballroom instead of funding programs that would feed those kids.

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

an incredibly heretical act against the american civic religion

worth reiterating again that “the executive can raise and spend money however he likes” has been anathema even under monarchies for centuries

we’re not rolling back anything in US history here, we’re rolling back the English Civil War

real 1640s england vibes

The only question for Mike Johnson should be "why did you dissolve Congress?" And when he predictably lies or changes the subject, repeatedly follow up with variations of "so why aren't you doing your job?"

The Speaker's opinions on anything else matter little if Congress is artificially on leave.

Supreme Court ruling: "This Court now concludes that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. That speakers may have influence over or access to elected officials does not mean that those officials are corrupt. And the appearance of influence or access will not cause the electorate to lose faith in this democracy."

Every now and then I go back and read the Citizens United ruling to see if it is as unhinged as I thought, and every time I do that I see it is actually far more deranged than I remembered.

Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47 X.com A lot of FAKE OUTRAGE over construction of the big, beautiful (and privately funded) White House Ballroom. FACT: Presidents have been renovating and expanding the White House for more than 100 years. In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt built the West Wing. In 1909, President William Howard Taft added the first Oval Office during a West Wing expansion.

The White House keeps making a big deal of the fact that the ballroom is privately funded but that’s one of the worst things about it.

These people and companies are buying influence. None of this is okay.

"Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here." Anna Bower Monday, October 20, 2025, 5:40 PM Share On: f X inK My Signal exchange with the interim U.S. attorney about the Letitia James grand jury.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs

Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

God, this must be so embarrassing, imagine a huge crowd of people finding out you’re a New York Giants fan

A sign that says THEY BLAME IMMIGRANTS AO YOU DON'T BLAME BILLIONAIRES Also behind them to the left is a sign that says NO TROOPS IN OUR STREETS

That's right

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

article I powers just completely liquidated, dead on arrival.

Trump repeatedly presenting "I don't love my enemies" as a fun little lovable foible is straight-up Satanic, he is normalizing complete disregard for a central pillar of Christ's message

One of the worst parts of this crop of billionaire ruling-class crybabies is how their money forces you to have to listen to their ideas, which sound like the kind of thing you’d hear on Thursday night at the DKE house. These guys are not smart.

I'm so tired of this

"ha ha, wasn't that cute how I said this city should be invaded by a dictator? aren't I so spicy?"

take away all his fucking money man

we are literally besieged in all aspects of american life by unrestrained plutocrats who themselves are surrounded by toadies and sycophants, not one person there to tell them that their hair looks idiotic, their plan to invade portland is insane, that their AI does not work. bring back hard truths

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics requirem...

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Watching this 'Love Has No Labels' ad campaign featuring John Cena from 2015 is breaking my brain

It's not that I'm pining for time that didn't exist by mistaking an ad for a lived experience

It's the fact that boilerplate Corporate Liberalism from 10 yrs ago clears anything Dems communicate today

no need to worry about future elections when this is our present. there should be zero negotiations until she is sworn in
