How America Chose Not to Hold the Powerful to Account Our national project of elite impunity

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

New poll: Democrats' real problem isn't being too liberal β€” it's being seen as too weak Americans, including swing voters, see the Republican Party as 20 points more extreme than Democrats β€” and the Democrats as weak and ineffective. So why would the *Democrats* moderate?

shout out to all the big brains who mocking @katmabu.bsky.social yesterday for saying that voters want more than just legisaltive action and snidely claiming "she wants to be a legislator and not legislate! when that is not what she said. You're the problem.

A poll showing the Democrats are viewed as elitist by 43% of people while Republicans are viewed as elitist by 60%. It also shows that only 31% of people view Dems as tough, and 56% view Republicans as tough. 60% of people view Republicans as extreme and only 42% view Dems as extreme.

A lot of obvious stuff in this poll (people want Dems to act with more conviction and stop tearing their ACLs trying to reach across the aisle), but the thing I learned is that Republicans are viewed as the elitist ones now! Run with that! Usain Bolt with that shit!

good that Americans are finally seeing the GOP as the preferred party of the oligarchs. It’s become obvious but the messaging from the left has also been effective in this case.

Fuuuuuuck. Larry Ellison will control tiktok, CBS, and CNN. Bari Weiss will run the latter. Oligarchy nightmare.

Labour did everything the popularists like Matt Yglesias want. They cracked down on trans people and immigrants. They pushed austerity. They ended up fracturing their entire base and losing this seat to the left for the first time in nearly a 100 years.

I was at the count in Gorton and Denton last night and we all saw Matt Goodwin eat ballot papers. His girlfriend and team begged him to stop but he kept stuffing it into his mouth and making grunting sounds like the Cookie Monster

Donald Trump still refuses to admit his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, and now it looks like Nigel Farage is following the same playbook after the by-election in Gorton and Denton.

Don’t let Farage try Trump’s tactics in Britain.

It's good that Zack is getting the air time he deserves and he comes across really well, but you have to wonder if Farage was ever grilled as thoroughly over the clearing racist and "nasty" things he has said over the years.

The Reform spin doctors are working overtime to push 'family' and 'sectarian' voting copium, because despite having the media and millionaires on their side, they still couldn't win in Gorton and Denton
This is the same, re-hashed Islamophobic nonsense we've seen peddled by Farage and co many times
