Is the cost Jeffries becoming Speaker? Because that truly would be unfortunate.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Jeffries: The days of the unfettered Trump crime spree are coming to an end. The American people have had enough. They’ve seen the unprecedented corruption unleashed on the American people, and they know that there’s a cost to corruption.

Yes? Mr President? Everyone is starting to say how cool and sexy socialism is and I am but a humble (indicted for fraud) conservative in a very tight race for my seat, could you please come call me dumb and ugly? Thank you so much, looking forward to working closely with you in the future.

The New Republic@newrepublic.com

It’s not exactly surprising that Trump’s thinking is so transparently shallow—after all, he’s scouted half his Cabinet members from television shows—but his humiliating outburst highlights how little control the 80-year-old president has over what he says in public. trib.al/uGFsDYj

Woah, look at them, rejecting the framing of a statement. So brave. They should try also doing that when they're not completely wrong, and about something that matters! I can think of a few examples for them just off the top of my head.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

Tur: It’s not just the media, and I reject that framing. 6 in 10 Americans don’t know who he is. I’m not saying he’s the most important person in the world, but...is it worth losing votes you need to win? AES: 10 in 10 Americans agree that they can’t afford the things that they need in their lives.

The thing about this is that this is not "a broken clock is right twice a day" or "worst guy you know is right about something". He is very clearly implying that it isn't the killing that is wrong. It's having the audacity to think you can get away with it if the US doesn't want you to.

The SCOTUS approach to gerrymandering is that institutional racism simply is not real, and therefore any map challenged on grounds of racism cannot be blocked, but any map intended to address racism must be. Then they cover their ears and shut their eyes and pretend not to understand the result.
