Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.

I’ve made a similar point before, but it bears repeating and considering how absolutely and utterly *vile* so many of these republicans candidates are, like Paxton, Ramaswamy, Trump (obv), who find themselves somehow still in close races. Something is *deeply* wrong with a large swath of Americans.

Funny to think about that if I had posted this on X, I’d likely be swarmed with people completely missing that last reference and commenting shit like “This is AMERICA, not socialist Denmark!” 🙄

And I know this isn’t new or anything and we’ve seen it over the last 10+ years getting worse every day, but when you step back and think about all of the horrendous shit these monsters cheer for, it’s chilling, and just fucking sad.

We’ve got multiple: pedophile enthusiasts, candidates with criminal indictments, and even your average R candidate is baseline so hateful, bigoted, ignorant, and disgusting, and about 30% of Americans not only accept that, they actively cheer for it. They admire it. Something is rotten in Denmark.

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

This is BAD, bad

🚨 LEAKED VIDEO: MAGA candidate Joe Mitchell, who just presented Donald Trump with a “Man of the Century” award, is caught on camera complaining that he “doesn't have a big d*ck” while making racist and disparaging comments about Black women.

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

When I was young I attended a 76ers bball camp. Each day, a Sixer came to talk to us. When Dikembe Mutumbo came, he selected 3 people out of all the kids to do a 3 on 1 drill against him. I got picked, and I put up a shot that he swatted across the whole gym. He finger wagged me and said “no no no.”

It’s a shame all of the good game studios are shutting down because I feel that, in the right hands, someone could make a fucking banger Avatar: The Last Airbender game (it wouldn’t need to be Aang)

Living in America is like living in a volcano. All of this trash and corruption just keeps bubbling and pushing to the surface. Shit is going to explode imminently.
