David Axelrod and David Brooks clutching their pearls because El-Sayed didn’t roll over for a racist is such a perfect example of America’s white guy politics that it would sound made up if you put it in a novel

Having spent over a HALF BILLION Dollars on elections since 2024, Elon Musk is actually what Republicans have spent decades accusing George Soros of being. Including being a Nazi. EVERY REPUBLICAN IN AMERICA should be asked how they support a party being bankrolled by a white supremacist fascist.

ME! But Seriously, Is there anyone in politics you'd rather interview under truth serum than Gavin Newsome AND Don Trump, Jr's Ex.? Especially since holy Hell, she's seems like a special kind of Crazy.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Who could’ve have foreseen Kim Guilfoyle would go on a grifting and crime spree after Trump named her as Ambassador to Greece to get her out of the country after Junior hooked up with a younger woman?

I know I am not the only "girldad" who would never move her to a state that outlawed abortion... Abstract, my ass. Sam Alito is a monster who will rot in Hell.

Samuel Alito: We won't overturn Obergefell because it's engendered reliance interests. Jan Crawford: Well, many people had organized their lives around Roe v. Wade. Alito: No, they didn't. Women merely had an "abstract" interest in "ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in."

Bill Kristol gets this. A shocking number of Democrats do not.

Rabid hatred of all transgender people—including veterans!—is the point. And the Respectable Republicans™️ and Thoughtful Conservatives™️ are all on board with it.

My mom got me "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" for Christmas when I was like 6 or 7 because it was a "Cartoon Detective Movie"(I Loved Detectives). Judge Doom gave me nightmares for 6 months.

We're witnessing the Rapist-to-President and/or Rapist-to-Supreme Court Justice pipeline with this Cornell scandal.

Xi told Trump he was smart and right and that's all Trump cares about. Never has there been a more easily manipulated US President.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump keeps saying his summit with Xi was totes awesome and they're besties now, but note how he never details a single specific accomplishment

I don't know much about Roger Marshall, but it kinda feels like he *wants* to lose re-election. WHO SAYS THIS?

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social

Roger Marshall: I'm sorry gas prices are going up but your national security is more important than your pocketbook

I hate how we've normalized the World's Richest Man just casually being a Nazi.

For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

JD Vance called Susan Collins his “dear friend.” No wonder why — she's voted for Trump's agenda 96% of the time. I don’t need a half-dozen meetings with JD Vance or to pal around with billionaire hedge fund executives to know what Mainers are dealing with every day.

Vance: "The second shout out I gotta give is to my dear friend Susan Collins, the senator from Maine. Thank you!…She has been to my house probably a half dozen times, the Vice President's residence at the Naval Observatory."

The incredible reaction to Jon Ossoff saying just one word about our emperor's new clothes -- "Natalie" -- shows what Democrats can do if they just speak the truth about what all of us can see with our own eyes

How can you not be embarrassed to say this with your whole chest right here on Al Gore's Internet?

Eric Lipton NYT@ericlipton.nytimes.com

One you might find surprising. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt & members of her team have been extremely helpful in responding to questions I raise. Regardless of public facing commentary, privately they are willing to engage and address questions. And I have appreciated that. Thank you

This doesn't even make factual sense? What is he talking about?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Rep. John McGuire: "It's common sense vs. crazy communism. Think about it -- communist Russia uses mass migration. They weaponize their immigration laws to destabilize Europe, but in the US the Democrats are using those communist tactics with our border invasion." 🥴🥴🥴

Yes we should. Anti-vaxxers should be shunned. And the leaders that humor them should be ESPECIALLY shunned.

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya: "We shouldn't be keeping kids out of schools because their parents have made different decisions than other parents" (Note that Trump is asleep)

I don't think people understand how bad the aftermath of the midterms is going to be. He literally can't conceive of losing a fair election.

Max Boot@maxboot.bsky.social

A report from an alternative universe where Trump’s poll numbers haven’t cratered and he hasn’t lost the Iran war.

What I don't understand is that the victim is Senator Moreno's Daughter!!! Fuck political parties; if someone who abused my daughter were running for office, I'd do literally everything I could to help their opponent. If I were a US Senator, I'd be *campaigning for them.*

Republicans Against Trumpism@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social

Records of the investigation into potential child abuse show that Moreno told detectives that Rep. Max Miller had previously thrown hot water at her, shoved her,& held a gun to her head; therefore, she couldn’t rule out that Miller caused their daughter’s fracture www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you won't defend 100 trans athletes when it's unpopular, you sure as hell won't defend 30 million Black people when it's unpopular (hint: It's ALWAYS been unpopular). If defending the marginalized is a political calculus before it's a moral calling to you, you're not a leader.

Scott Witte@scottwitte.bsky.social

Tom, suburban, college educated women are scared of “boys in girls sports”. Not arguing it, but that’s what polling shows. Same with runaway DEI and open borders. Again, not gonna argue, that’s just what reality is. If Dems stick to those things, independents and mod Rs are lost, again.

Democrats, This is how we do it. Hammer home that these people are just deeply unhealthy mentally...."weird" if you will. No normal person would ever wanna hang out with any of them.

Harry Kane scored 6 goals for England in the World Cup. After he admitted he went golfing with Donald Trump he did not score again the rest of the tournament, and England are out. The Trump sports curse remains undefeated.

Even if you don't trust the word of his accusers against his... Platner's campaign-ending video should end all doubt that he's unfit to hold office. Such tone-deafness. Such victimhood. Such entitlement. It's truly astonishing he got this far.

Trump: If you don't vote for me, I'll kill a puppy. *I Vote for Kamala* *Trump kills a puppy* Media: Did Trump kill a puppy for political reason? Who can say?

Politico@politico.com

Trump denied disaster aid to four Democratic-led states. Yet two days earlier, he had approved FEMA disaster aid for six Republican-led states. The move is raising questions about whether he’s injecting political motivations into emergency management decisions.

Oh My GOD, the entitlement. YOU HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT YOUR TWENTY PLUS YEAR HISTORY OF BAD DECISIONS!

Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social

"We engaged in electoral politics. We motivated people. We banded together. We did it the way that we were told we are supposed to make change, and we won, and now they are not going to let us have it," Platner says.

I can't believe I have to say this, but if your response is "to question the timing" or to stop believing women because they're saying something you don't want to be true... ...you sound like MAGA defending *their* rapist. If you want to claim moral superiority, you have to act morally superior.

Andre Green reposted

I don’t think people need to be “crucified” for thinking Platner changed or whatever but I do think they should engage in serious self-reflection and humility, such as not referring to themselves as being “crucified”

Andre Green reposted

Replying to @charlesgaba.com

The mediocre white men who backed Platner will face no reputational consequences and will still have their opinions and analyses valued more highly than those of us who didn't trust him from the jump.

I hope this court session killed the notion that Trump is the disease, not the symptom. We are in the midst of a civilizational battle over if we're a pluralist democracy or Gilead.

I cannot emphasize enough how much this is true

ElieNYC@elienyc.bsky.social

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

Andre Green reposted

Stop blaming the left, it is counterproductive, same as when they blame liberals. Put the blame where it belongs: on Republicans. Who the fuck has time for infighting when the 14th Amendment, Reconstruction, and the actual outcome of the US Civil War are on life support. Tighten the fuck up.

This is a dangerous pattern with this Court: They find a delegation paired with a constraint, decide they don’t like the constraint, but appear totally untroubled by the idea that Congress delegated the power only *because* prior precedent assured them their constraints would be binding.

Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social

Accepting the (wrong) premise, if Congress created agencies and officers structured unconstitutionally, then the rule of law result would be striking down their existence and powers entirely. Instead the Court treats it like a one-way ratchet: grants of power by Congress upheld, limits struck down.

By Definition, if you win the Democratic Nomination, whatever your opinion of "the Democratic Party," Democratic VOTERS clearly like you. Isn't that, I dunno, the goal?

Jaime Harrison@jaimeharrison.bsky.social

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
