have they ever fucked up in the opposite direction, quoting some guy they say is a rando but is actually a dem operative? why is it always republicans?

Sadly, the best Checkov episode isn't even official, but a fan film called "To Serve All My Days", written by the late D.C Fontana, Walter's role as the aginig Checkov is tragic and captivating, with an ending that becomes more poignant and hard to watch in light of his passing. Thankyou Bester.

Today we lost Walter Koenig. Some thoughts about a fine actor and genuinely nice guy....

Lessons from Brazil Vote against fascists. Don’t not vote against fascists.

Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

The people in charge, the people who voted for them, the people who stayed home...

“What is striking about this moment is just how unserious the people in charge are” — Obama

Well, DUH

WSJ saying Trump team promoting Orban for UN Sec Gen. Hell no. www.wsj.com/opinion/vikt...

I am shaking. My blood pressure is off the roof. I’ve been crying for two hours. Oh my god. Oh my god. My people, oh my god.

My immunocompromised dad was told by doctors early in the pandemic that if he got COVID, he’d die. He was secluded for over a year, had severe muscle loss, vitamin deficiency and depression as he watched Bolsonaro make fun of the 700k dead while refusing to allow vaccines into Brazil. NEVER AGAIN.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who spared a thought for my country today, who amplified information about the coup d’état attempt, and worried about Brazil’s democratic future—the world’s democratic future. We won! Women won! The Amazon won! Young people won! Democracy won! Hope won!

The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV.

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

Nailed it.

BREAKING: BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia's strongman leader Aleksandar Vucic has conceded defeat to a student-led movement in a seismic political shift.

interestingly this interest in black voters doesn’t extend to the republican effort to deprive them of federal representation, nor do they seem interested in asking whether republican candidates are burdened by the fact that trump talks like a klansman

pundits are basically bored by the idea that these democratic candidates are not meaningfully behind with black voters and so are trying to conjure a controversy into existence

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

The DNC endorsed her. Stop spreading divisive lies.

Barack Obama just endorsed Angie Nixon for U.S. Senate! She may not have the full backing of the Democratic establishment, but she’s building support from the biggest names in the party. LFG! 🔥

Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

OBAMA: When I was president, all these Republicans are all deficits, deficits, debt, debt. You got to do something about it. And now—$40 trillion—Crickets. Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office

This guy gets the show

El-Sayed: "Trump got us into a war we've got no business fighting. President Obama, he contained the nuclear threat without war. Trump's tariffs costing autoworkers their livelihoods. President Obama made sure they didn't lose their jobs in the worst financial crisis in a century ... "

All that plastic gold Home Depot crap is coming DOWN. Anything and everything he’s done to Our House, it’s grounds and DC…. It’s coming DOWN.

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

If Amy Acton was a good daughter, she would have teamed up with her mother to get rich off an Alzheimer’s drug they knew wouldn’t work. by Vivek and Geetha Ramaswamy

Vivek Ramaswamy ran an ad attacking his opponent for being raped as a child. But he's also one of the few Republican politicians who is still allowed within 200 feet of a school or a Chuck E. Cheese.
