Serious question, because all I can think of from him is punditry and fundraising emails: Has Carville actually contributed meaningfully to a major Democratic victory in this century?
🤔 James Carville: “I’d rather Republicans keep the house by 5 than Dems win by 5… Because then they’re hostage to DSA, and Hakeem can’t move.” 😬Bill Kristol: “Good point.” So afraid of DSA folks who want M4ALL, etc. they’d rather Republicans hold power. Unreal. True colors.
What are the odds that he’ll see this article and, as a result, we’ll get another anti-LGBTQ executive order and Harmeet Dhillon will launch an inquisition into how gays in the media are a Civil Rights Act violation?
NYT publishes an article about Trump's homoerotic exclamations, offering no explanation of what this means to psychiatrists and failing to observe that this as been going on for a decade now. In other words, more sane washing.
The first rule of political comms is to never let yourself become the story.
Wow -- Hannity is moving in for the kill: "Why not just say 'I went to Pepperdine Law School and then took a different career path'? Why get into this long drawn-out thing about the difference between a lawyer and an attorney?"
And he was worried that there wouldn’t be any memorials to him!
A new statue titled “The Orange Plague”, also known as “King of Injustice”, by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, where it will remain through 8 October. Remember to stop by for a selfie if you have a chance. 😏📸
Some of the important context here includes that we have in this country (1) a constitutional guarantee of a free press, and (2) a wino U.S. Attorney for DC who, on this asshole’s orders, previously brought flagrantly unlawful criminal cases against six Democratic lawmakers and an innocent tourist.
I don't mean to make waves or anything, but as a journalist, I am definitely opposed to the president talking about arresting journalists.
Chris Rufo is a racist piece of shit. That’s 100% why Ron DeSantis likes him so much. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/chris-r...
This thread terrifies me. I’m a member of the Connecticut Lottery’s board of directors, which means I am a regulator for gambling systems. These digital betting platforms terrify me, including the ones I help oversee. My most basic concern is maintaining fairness…
Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵
Either he knows this is false and is lying about 9/11 to boost his own image, or he actually believes this happened. I leave it to you to decide which is worse in a sitting president.
Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."
“The most credible person in the world” has been convicted of fraud, found liable for defaming his rape victim, is demonstrably innumerate, and lies about everything all the time. But go on, Howie. You were saying?
Q: Why not just put Trump's name on the building in two years after the renovation is done? Isn't that usually how it works? LUTNICK: Actually, that's not usually how it works. When you have the greatest philanthropist, you just need him to agree. He is the most credible person in the world.

I hope everyone caught this Lancet study confirming that Elon Musk & DOGE are responsible for genocidal levels of suffering & death.
Two things that HAVE to be stressed here: 1. PDs widely adopted Flock’s boilerplate terms of service rather than developing or going to elected officials to develop tailored policies for use; and 2. Those boilerplate terms allow Flock to make “upgrades to system or platform” as they see fit.
NEW: Flock has said for years its cameras don’t identify or track people. We obtained the code for its police AI and rebuilt parts of it. The tool can find witnesses, surface associates, search people by race or physical description, and flag vehicles by how they move. W/ @dell.bsky.social
It should be a bigger scandal that Donald Trump and the Senate Republican Caucus put this coke-addled imbecile in charge of health policy despite him being so, so fucking dumb. Like Tuberville dumb.
This is a very dangerous lunatic. RFK Jr: “The polio vaccine "killed many, many more people" than polio ever did.”
The ghost of Elliot Richardson would like a goddamn word.
WELKER: Would you take the president's opinion into consideration when he says 'I think this case should be revived?" TODD BLANCHE: Hold on. Will I take the president's view on something into consideration? Yes. Of course. And I hope every AG in history would not answer that question differently.
This is possibly the most Boomer shit ever excreted.
As has long been observed, Tubby loves getting away with it. He's excited now about his new milestone: Fucking the U.S. military. He was tickled when he called them suckers and losers and the MAGA rubes didn't care. Now he's gonna ruin actual naval vessels! talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...
Todd Blanche is a white nationalist supporting white nationalists after a white nationalist party put him in power so he could promote white nationalism. This was also the case with Pam Bondi. www.cnn.com/2026/08/12/p...
First the USS Gerald R. Ford, now the USS Abraham Lincoln. The last person to do as much damage to our carrier fleet as Trump, Hegseth and Cao have done was Yamamoto.
i've been covering national security for decades, on and off. i've never heard of anything like this. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
He withheld evidence from DOJ, contributing to the wrongful prosecution of an innocent man. Impeach his ass already.
BASH: But it peeled off. Why did that happen? BURGUM: It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been 7 arrests. BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool? BURGUM: Dana, I'm not sure why you keep questioning it
I’m not sure how many more ways Elon Musk needs to say he wants to murder us for people to start recognizing that he’s a homicidal maniac, but we have to be getting close, right?
Elon Musk, owner of X, has called the editor of the Economist "a traitor to the West, plain and simple" after her recent interview with him. He now argues that "anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" Musk has been socialising violence since Aug25: "fight or die, that's what it comes down to"
It’s a beautiful afternoon for a walk in Manchester! Canvassing today for @joshforct.bsky.social in the Silk City.
This isn’t how the good guys fight.
More war crimes: In its fourth strike on water infrastructure, the US has destroyed two water tanks in Sirik, Iran, completely cutting off water distribution in all villages of the Bemani district and the city of Kohstak, the Hormozgan Water and Sanitation Authority says.
