My problem is that my sense of humor, I immediately want to tell you to do better, but I also don't want to be blocked. So instead I'll point out how hard it was to behave myself and wait for the accolades to pour in.

That's the worst! Unfinished book series should come with a warning label.

Begin by imposing a 110% wealth tax on fortunes above $1bn.

Leftists that oppose Newsom need to engage with the process MORE not less, and engage EARLIER not later. The powers that be have anointed Newsom, so it is imperative to find a strong progressive challenger that can beat him in the primaries. Waiting until the general and not voting gets us Trump 3.0

If the Project 2029 doesn't include gibbets and guillotines, I'm not interested. I want trials, I want a 100% wealth tax and a declaration that tax havens are akin to financial blockades and constitute acts of war.

Mamdani once introduced someone as his neighbor, but the guy actually lives around the corner, not right next door.

Russia did, as we're experiencing the after effects of every day.

If I hear someone is into crypto, I just assume they want to buy child porn without a paper trail.

Opinion | My Bosses Were Afraid of Crossing Trump. So, I Quit. A veteran journalist opens up on the censorship that he says led to his resignation.

Example of media self-censorship:
"Earlier this year, the chief content officer for our parent company, e.Republic, stated in a meeting that we should not run articles that could draw the attention of the Trump White House and have them try to shut us down."

DEMOCRATS’ ADS MAKE OLD PITCH: STOPPING TRUMP WELL-WORN PLAYBOOK Louay al-Ali Abdul Salam Mahmoud Fahd al-Freij Issam Hallaq Mohammad al-Rahmoun Aous Aslan Qahtan Khalil Using the Impasse to Carry Out His Agenda Some See It as a Missed Chance to Advance a Positive Message

So this is what's above the fold in today's NYT, while the protests get two photos below the fold and a piece on A23. I know I shouldn't be surprised at this point, but damn.

Which is why the institution that failed is actually the press. Voters are often making their choices with very limited information, especially at the congressional and local level. So when the press focuses on made up stories about migrant caravans they deserve derision for their failures.

All the Evidence Against Transgender Social Contagion Plus Thoughts on Why People Continue to Embrace This Zombie Theory

...(which they very well might given increasing bans on gender-affirming care & public recognition; see link for more on this), they will also take that as a sign that trans people are not "real". they've essentially created a lose-lose situation for us

They lost their legitimacy when they stepped into a presidential election in Bush v Gore and overrode state law as well as federal precedent. The corrupt decisions being made today all stem from that first poisoned well.

Modern day Benjamin Franklin. Maybe his next book will be an update of Poor Richard's Almanac for the 21st century?

These are all gold.

Republicans only care about children they can abduct and sex traffic. That's why they went all in on parent separation at the border during Trump 1.

Judge: And DOJ argues there's no standing, also no reparable harm. Your response?

Oregon: Harm for CA to sovereign rights and police powers, also morale and reputation, also limits ability of NG to respond to CA natural disasters.

Argentina was just in the news for getting a $20 billion gift from Trump and then turning around and basically ensuring that American farmers have no foreign markets for our soybeans.

If I was an alumnus, I'd be seeking to join a class action clawing back my tuition because they've just made the diploma less valuable.

It feels intentional at this point. Like Democratic leadership is intentionally shitting the bed so there's no effective opposition. We need to primary every single one of these Quislings.

Can we stop expending all our political capital protecting Republicans from the consequences of their votes? Let these increases happen. This is literally what West Virginia voted for.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.

It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Jeffrey Dahmer crossed a dietary line

It's the job of the publication to vet the writers it hires and to make sure ALL the work meets a minimum standard for quality. If I have to keep detailed notes on each article and track which bylines I can trust and which ones are dishonest, then NONE of the articles are trustworthy.

This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment.

This is the litmus test.

Learn from history.

Who will step up and fight?

Who will bend the knee and be complicit?

History will remember.

“Debate Me” culture is not organic, endemic, or apolitical. This mode of high jacking discourse is and has been central to a 30-year conservative training program that has produced untold numbers of people to do this for every reason but “civil discourse”

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right
