Indeed, he was allowed to to kill all those children because he is so rich

There are no words for how evil this is

And functionally, I mean, Cuomo was.

He was backed by Trump even before his formal endorsement.

Such a fucking failure of party leadership.

For a certain kind of pundit, it's important to establish that all present evils are traceable to previous Democratic failures - preferably failures rooted in the naive pursuit of lofty progressive ambitions.

When no such failure exists, sometimes one must be simply invented from thin air.

Should women have rights? We go through the pros and cons bsky.app/profile/jess...

Surely Johnson is the most pathetic Speaker in the history of the United States. An unctuous toady to power, crawling up to his presidential benefactor, practically begging for Trump to usurp Congress's constitutional role.

Elon Musk has acquired billions in government subsidies and tax breaks.

Tesla shareholders will vote whether to make him the world’s first Trillionaire.

The moral of the story is this:

If you ask for affordable healthcare & food, you’re a mooch.

If you ask for billions, you’re an entrepreneur.

This is who your subscription dollars are going. For the New York Times to launder conservative talking points designed to limit where and how women work to force dependency on men. They want us back to before women could own their own bank account. But sure.

women, are they bitches?

i often think about how the us could have been an early leader on solar power. but it turns out all that capitalist stuff about the spirit of innovation and better ideas winning was bullshit. they’ll protect their dying and dirty industry at any cost so long as obsolescence can still make a dime

I love that the two greatest Anglophone cities of the world are both now run by democratic socialist Muslim men of South Asian descent.

Very here for the first Sadiq–Zohran bilateral ♥️

It's the most advanced radicalization machine ever created, and we've already discovered what happens in America when the government just lets that happen.

This actually makes him an insane person, by the way

But yeah they at the very least are perfectly comfortable with racism if not racist themselves, ditto for antisemitism, xenophobia, and the like. From the university, to the newsrooms, to the board meeting, etc.

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.

I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

lol this train is always on time

sdklfj Gorsuch asked a question like, so if the pres unliterally declared a 50% tariff on all gas-powered vehicles to respond to the unusual & extraordinary threat of global warming?

DOJ says well we'd say that's a hoax & not a threat

Gorsuch dripping w condescension goes I'm sure you would lmao

Ezra Douthglesias™️

v pleased Sotomayor just said this same damn thing at oral argument in the tariffs case like UM didn't we say in the student loans case??

DOJ said this is different bc there's a foreign emergency; Sotomayor said ok bet, so we say global warming is an emergency and then we can have loan forgiveness?

If these elections had gone the other way — if the Democratic Party had underperformed or even lost one of these contests — then every commentator under the sun would say, rightfully, that Democrats were in disarray; that even the president’s deep unpopularity couldn’t keep them afloat with voters. But Tuesday was a Democratic victory. And the party didn’t just win — it won by commanding majorities on virtually every field of play. In polls, in focus groups and now at the ballot box, the public is telling us something very clearly: Trump is simply too much. If this is an opportunity for Democrats to win back lost ground — and it is — then it is also a warning to a Republican Party that has tied its entire identity to the man from Mar-a-Lago.

i closed out my column this week with this preemptive jab at basically every commentator currently looking for ways to say that last night didn’t count

Man alive. The contrast between the courage of voters and the absolute cowardice of Democratic leadership is just undeniable and the story of the moment.

The question is which will win out in the end and that question just got a whole lot louder.

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

Turns out if you absolutely hollow out the consensus formation machine to protect your class' most miserable dipshits from facing any consequences for their actions then you cant actually just form the consensus anymore by putting in enough money to make it go

Mamdani: Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall—your struggle is ours too

if you didn't follow the VA governor race you didn't know that Earle-Sears ran like a billion anti-trans campaign ads and Spanberger didn't flinch or pull a Newsom.

going all-in against trans people is a losing move, especially when the federal government has made harming and killing us a priority.

This is probably my favorite part. Musk and Trump and Miller at the end, too.

Oh, and after all the millions of dollars spent on advertising, the harmful policies and all the demagoguery...

Stop.
Picking.
On.
Trans.
Kids.

The Rs lost to me four times in six years. That should've been a hint. But apparently it wasn't, so the voters made their thoughts crystal clear tonight.

Dick Cheney shot his friend in the face the right way.

Man. The big papers setting fire to their entire legacy to cape for the biggest losers in history is hilarious shit. Imagine betting on the wrong horse so much and so often that you might as well be fucking the horse. The legacy media is out of touch with reality and the people of this country.

there are basically not enough republican voters to create enough safe seats to withstand the kind of wave that, for example, turned virginia into a democratic supermajority state for the first time in the modern era of its politics
