Choosing to look on the bright side, this means we're living in a world where it isn't long before Lamm, Palmer, and Hegseth have their teeny tiny balls bitten off during a press conference.

From a distance, it's clinically fascinating how quickly these people abandon their alleged tenets whenever they start to feel like they don't have the absolute run of the joint. I only wish we could get more distance from them.

This is exactly the right approach — openly mock the bigots as small-minded and cowardly and weak and proudly embrace diversity as a sign of our strength and success

I know America. I know that, in America, we believe in a country big enough for all of us. So, JD Vance, don't you dare come from Ohio to lecture me. You don't know a damn thing about America.

Been waiting a really long time to meet and thank this guy appropriately. Thanks for making the Keene detour, @brandonsbuzz.bsky.social! Now let's get you podcasting again.

Jeff always told me that he owed me a drink if we would ever find ourselves in the same zip code, and last night — thirteen years later, nearly to the day — I was finally able to cash that voucher in, at one of Jeff’s favorite neighborhood bars in his lovely New Hampshire hometown. @jefito.com

“Overhaul” Get fucked, NYT.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

The Justice Department said on Thursday it had ended its watchdog role in more than 50 cases enforcing racial desegregation in schools, mostly in the South. The changes are the latest in the Trump administration’s bid to overhaul civil rights enforcement in the U.S.

nyti.msJustice Department Scraps Dozens of School Desegregation CasesCritics said the changes, mostly in the South, moved the nation “back toward the Jim Crow era.” Justice Department officials said the decrees were outdated.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

Adam Bonin@adambonin.bsky.social

Incredibly disappointing ad from Mary Peltola (D-AK) saying she neither supports "kids getting surgeries to change genders or men in girls bathrooms." Yes, flipping the Senate is essential and can stop bad laws and bad judges from happening, but she can do it without my support from the lower 48.

(centrist adviser): "Sir, what our voters want most is someone who'll fight! Who'll fight for them and not back down! Who'll fight to defend freedom! And, sir, that's why I'm urging you to make sure you tell everyone that you're willing to sacrifice a trans kid playing soccer."

Dear Democrats, You will never be able to triangulate your way through racism/sexism/transphobia, because pushing a lighter, politer form of bigotry is always a lose-lose proposition. The bigots want the uncut stuff, while normal people aren't drawn to cowards who sell out. Stand your ground.

My only real goal at this point is to live long enough to see and savor the consequences that all these fucking scumbags and their gutless enablers deserve to suffer.

BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Friday that it reached an “agreement” with Mount Sinai Health System in which it will “cease providing” gender-affirming medical care to minors and dedicate $2 million to providing care to those “suffering harmful consequences” of such care.
