Could we get one fucking article with interviews with people who didn't vote for Trump about how we were right and how much it sucks to have been right and how pissed we are at everyone who didn't listen to us? wapo.st/4rYrVlw

wapo.stIn Ohio, some Trump voters question whether he’s still fighting for themHigh costs have opened a divide between Trump, who spoke in Ohio on Monday night, and some who voted for him. His support for data centers has widened that gap.

Trump’s TIME interview should have been treated about like Biden’s debate performance. That it mostly wasn’t says a lot about the media’s ongoing normalization of Trump’s cognitive downward spiral.

Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Too many people online seem to conflate left politics with being obnoxious and scathing and Mamdani is such a model for combining a principled ideological vision with civility and grace. You shake hands, you act like a grown up even whether others aren’t. You show up.

"Trump’s Disastrous Convention Has Republicans Ready to Go Home: ‘One Day Is Enough’" Zeteo reports from the GOP convention in Dallas, where Trump offered Americans a fake bribe while dismissing the real pain he’s causing them. Some Republicans already have a ‘flight to catch.’

You may ask yourself, how did I get here?

Source: @osinttechnical on X The head of Rossotrudnichestvo, Igor Chaika, attempted to downplay Russia's deteriorating relationship with Armenia today, but admitted that "there are ups and downs." The admission comes as Russia's influence in the Caucasus wanes due to the war in Ukraine.

Again, I am just a man standing in front of the Democratic Party, begging them to make a bigger deal of this deeply unlikeable racist billionaire asshole who is constantly pushing things everyone loathes.

Jesse Lee@jessecharleslee.bsky.social

As GOP postures against data centers, here’s what their moneyman Elon Musk just demanded at G20 on data centers: “It is pretty straightforward, you have to have an environment that is relatively free of regulation. New things must be default legal instead of default illegal.”

These hateful losers are so embarrassing, tearing up the good built by millions of others. You can't call the moment when the tide will turn, but their hopes and legacy will fall to nothing in the end, because ruin is all they are capable of.

this ossoff guy not only for squarely landed a hit on these freaks, but he gave the absolutely, unassailably correct response to the pearl clutching: these are adult public figures on the public payroll. no one gives a shit about how they feel. that's the only response it deserves. quit if youre sad

Here are things that happened at the DNC today: 1) Resolution calling to abolish ICE unanimously adopted 2) Brand-new early state calendar that reflects the full diversity of the Democratic base 3) Rejection of insider efforts to ban RCV from being used in presidential primaries Great results here

I’m on vacation but I gotta say, as much fun as it is to debate woke1 and Hasan Piker, the Trump administration is currently engaged in mass murder on the high seas as surely as any serial killer or lynch mob. And viewed from the distance of vacation, The Discourse doesn’t seem to give a shit.

Trump II has profound consequences that will last a century: -destruction of administrative state & civil service -extreme wealth concentration, tech oligarchy -climate rollbacks -end of rule of law w/o pushback incentivizes future backsliding -Iran Pundits hate this because it sounds shrill

Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social

also, describing a lack of legislative capacity as a point against authoritarian consolidation misses the point: the defining feature of Trump’s second term is consolidation of power in the *executive* - the lack of legislative authorization makes him more authoritarian, not less

It’s so telling and pathetic that center right pundits can’t just admit that Biden was a normal president and Trump is profoundly abnormal. Your political party sucks dude! If you were serious about democracy you’d be telling people to vote for Dems, not drawing false equivalencies.

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social

Lie. Biden definitely wasn't "maxxing out" on "illegal immigration." Immigration activists denounced his policy as too draconian, and Dems tried to pass a hawkish immigration bill. Similar point re: Starmer. NYT thinks the op-ed page is for publishing lies, at least if the lies are right-wing. 6/x

The persecution of Dr. Anthony Fauci—and it is persecution—is about two things: 1) Donald Trump’s ego: Fauci refused to embrace Trump’s reopening push in 2020 and hydroxychloroquine, which the president blames for his loss (a loss he still can’t accept). 2) The right’s larger war on public health.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

It’s really funny to me that a group of people who bow down to a corrupt, dying, pedophile reality TV show host who inherited his fortune from his daddy pretend to be the manliest of men.
