And by the way, you can't pretend these aren't the stakes. @mattyglesias.bsky.social says we need to convince voters, that means matching or outbidding your opponent, and Trump is trying like hell to get platforms to happen. So guess what you *have* to do if you want to win this fight?

Senile. Incompetent. Incapable

Want to destroy the greatest bastion in Democratic politics right now? Propose an oil platform off our coast. You will be amazed how quickly 43 seats and the entire state government evaporate into whatever group picks up the ball fastest.

How will you tell California's famously loud partisans to shut up? We have our own fights, our own bullshit, you think you can stop it just by being like "your smarty pants ideas make Texans sad", we do not give A SHIT.

We don't want oil platforms, *your party will break on these shores* buddy!

Eliminating fossil fuels from the grid is a big priority *for California voters*, how do you plan to square this circle?

Okay, like, just to take plastic bags for instance, how do you propose to return to 2016 and tell the 53% of our voters to take it back? No one nationally ran on this, this is something our voters did, how do you propose to control it?

All I want is one single reporter to ask him if he thinks people seeking asylum = means from insane asylums

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!

I know how hard you worked for this.

So many levels of democratic dysfunction on display here.

it’s weird to see people be like “poor Usha” as if she is a guiltless victim with no agency, like she is a grown ass woman who chose and continues to choose to be with a horrible man

idk why we always need to infantilize the grown ass women married to horrible men

Adams strongly hinted (but I think never confirmed) that he was taking either steroids or testosterone supplements so it's possible he greatly increased his risk of developing prostate cancer too

In the months after Harris’ loss, much was made over the demographic shifts in the party. Young voters, Hispanic voters and Black voters — all central to the Democratic coalition — had moved substantially to the right. But Priorities’ post-election polling revealed an equally staggering swing: Between 2020 and 2024, people who consumed at least three hours of YouTube a day had moved 10 points toward Trump — a bigger swing than Black voters, Black men, young voters and a slew of other categories that were dominating headlines. “The driver of behavior in ‘24 was so much more about your media consumption,” Butterfield said.

Help Us Report on the Impact of Oil Field Waste in Oklahoma Toxic wastewater from oil fields keeps pouring out of the ground in Oklahoma. For years, residents have filed complaints and struggled to find solutions. We need your help to understand the full scale...

Toxic wastewater from oil fields keeps pouring out of the ground in Oklahoma. It has bubbled up near homes and a school — and it has killed farmers’ crops and ranchers’ calves.

Help ProPublica and @readfrontier.bsky.social understand the full scale of the problem 👇

No one is safe.

WTF are you talking about Jesse?

The Republicans have been promising a specific plan as an alternative to Obamacare ever since it passed in 2010. The promise is 15 1/2 years old now. That's probably why they don't seem very sincerely interested in it.

Shared electric bicycles actually deliver the convenience, pleasure, and environmental sustainability that electric cars promise.

NINETEEN Democrats in the U.S. Senate approved this

Yes, I’ve been indicted. But I don’t want people to lose sight of what got us here.

Thank you for having me, @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social to discuss why these atrocities need to end and why there needs to be real accountability.

How are we quantifying "Dems leftward move on climate"?

From your viewpoint, was there any course of action possible that could have handled prosecutions in a timely matter that doesn't hinge on "if we had a different SCOTUS"? Was it within Biden and Garland's capability to move quickly enough, or are they entirely subject to SCOTUS' chief?

Anyone who has experience in an abusive household, or who has worked with people in them, or has read a lot about them, will be familiar with a particular dynamic:

Dad is full of loud passions & intense moods, sweeping through like a thunderstorm, unpredictable, volatile, often violent. He is ...

Do you risk normalizing the kind of behavior the President forcibly airs to the entire nation every day? Listen to yourself Kirsten, jfc, this is pathetic.

AMAZING question. Absolutely terminal DC-brain.

So it’s a SECRET plan

The world’s most—and least—powerful passports Americans’ travel documents aren’t as muscular as they used to be

Luxury problem for liberal cosmopolitans, some will say -- but surely another indicator of decline:

"America, which topped the index in 2014, has dropped out of the top ten for the first time since the ranking began in 2006. It now shares the 12th tier of passports with Malaysia..."

You remember the last line of 'Chinatown' ....

This is just one of those things where being a bigoted racist dipshit makes you unable to comprehend the extremely comprehensible. NYC is electing a young charismatic guy with some good ideas and who has political experience, but bigots can't see past their self imposed blinkers, so you don't see it
