Again, I listened to this show. In this very program Tucker says he'd vote for Trump right now.
Tucker Carlson: "It's vile. It begins w/ a promise to use the US military to commit a war crime. Those people who are in direct contact w/ the president need to say 'No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, bc this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out'"

“The economy sucks because Trump fucked up your everything.” “We can solve this by removing him and his minions and throwing them into jail, while also rehiring the serious people who care about solving problems and funding their programs.” “Fuck you, consultant class, get a real job.”
“Democrats need to continue to focus on the economy and they need to have actual solutions” Former special assistant to President Biden Megan Hays reminds Dems that solely campaigning as anti-Trump is not a winning strategy for the midterms.

Mmmm, yes, very deep, much philosophical wow, let me counter with: The people building concentration camps will always be my enemy
Seeing the opposing party as the enemy and prioritizing the defeat of that enemy over seeking to serve the American people is the underlying problem that has led us to this current nightmare version of the American government.

Things Mike Johnson hasn't called "detestable": - DOJ covering up the Epstein files - Stripping millions of Americans of their health insurance - Trump’s masked ICE agents killing people on our streets So, forgive us if we don't give a damn. See you on the Mall at 8.

This is why I have real fucking problem with blithe criticisms of "polarization" or "congressional dysfunction." We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked. The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party.
Rep. Randy Fine on Ilhan Omar getting attacked: "I blame Ilhan Omar for what happened"

Replying to @whstancil.bsky.social
A lot of people have observed that the Democrats’ deep unpopularity comes from the fact that absolutely everyone wants to complain about them and nobody wants to defend them. This is true, but a lot of THAT dynamic comes from the fact that Dems are regularly punching their supporters in the face!

No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/06/17/s...

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away
“In light of the President's statement about cancellation of my government contracts, @SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately”

It’s important that we all encourage and support people who are staying on the job in a difficult time and discourage Trump’s ambition of encouraging everyone to self-purge and do his job for him. www.slowboring.com/p/civil-serv...

"1 in 14 judges confirmed during Trump’s presidency were confirmed after he lost his reelection bid. Perhaps the best known of those judges is U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon. " Will Biden/Schumer/Durbin show any sense of urgency in pushing to confirm judges?
