People still owe Hillary Clinton an apology.

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Trump wanted to create an Orban style autocracy & take away everyone’s liberties. But Orban knew u need to be popular when u put that into effect. But in just 20 months Trump failed so hard he’s more unpopular than any midterm Prez in 80 yrs. Chump just doesn’t have the cards. 🤣

Matt Yglesias is a psuedointellectual hack. I can't believe anyone takes him seriously. Fundamentally, he has no theory of politics at all, which makes little difference between him and outright fascists.

The biggest single reform the next democratic Congress could make is to ban dual-class shares. Tech companies would become substantially more beholden to market forces and founders could be forced out if they failed in their fiduciary duties.

This bad boy can fit so many nationalized space companies inside it you wouldn’t believe it

Ossoff beat Hegseth to the punch on doing a televised execution.

*Democrats lose a close election* Media: “Democrats need to moderate to win.” *Democrats don’t moderate* *Democrats then win by blowout margins* Media: “Democrats need to moderate to win.”

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

A24 accidentally and unwillingly becoming one of the biggest entertainment conglomerates in America by being the only people who are aware that highbrow liberals spend more money than anyone else

New: Chris Rufo & his co-host devoted a podcast to "The Indian Question," framing Desi people as a problem to be solved. Their "solution?" Mass expulsion. For those allowed to remain: an “assimilation hazing process” w/ instances of “vulgar, defamatory racism" talkingpointsmemo.com/news/chris-r...

Think hard on this when you vote on Tuesday 3 November.

She is benefitting from Maine Dems having chosen a Nazi rapist candidate whom people like Jeet Heer (who wrote this article) defended until the last moment.

Wu on redistricting if Dems get control: "You do the exact same thing that they did to you until they say mercy" and agree to national, bipartisan reform.

that 18 percent seems really well represented in the news and on social media bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump's low approval numbers raise new questions about Joe Biden's ability to connect with voters.

It’s somehow better than I expected

Yeah, if you want a Palestinian state, so do I. If you want to ethnically cleanse Israel you are just a mirror image of Ben-Gvir.

Democrats, above all, need to hurt the class/entities that support Republicans (e.g., capital, etc.). Suspending the gas tax, being bipartisan, and embracing AI aren’t it.

Why are Democrats trying to help Republicans? If anything they should be trying to raise the gas tax.

The key to getting low-information voters to vote for Democrats or just to sit out elections is to do everything possible to brand Republicans and especially Trump as stupid losers that are embarrassing to associate with. Make them the NY Jets fans of politics.

I am a Blexas Skeptic (Bleptic?) but these are insane numbers. No dem has come within even five points of abbott in 16 years bsky.app/profile/ruba...

"60 Minutes. More like 60 viewers!"

You mean the guy insisting on a permanent racial realignment to the gop was wrong?!?

Looks like the bottom may finally be falling out for the gop

When people tell me that US hostility toward research will drive people into China's arms, I tell them that China (in 2026) is a country that deeply fears talent and knowledge.

“.. With Saudi oil now blockaded, Americans are about to discover why maintaining stability in the Middle East and not handing it to a consortium of Russia and Iran was always important.” @jayinkyiv.bsky.social

I spent six months watching half this website explain away a Nazi tattoo a dude wore for 20 years as no big deal, and now (largely) that same group of people is saying one interview answer's worth of weasel words is absolutely and permanently disqualifying in a candidate.

crypto, car dealerships and MLMs. ripe targets for political and policy reasons.

Let’s be honest: the people upset over what Talarico said are upset because Talarico said it. If Platner or Bernie or El-Sayed said the same thing, there would be no objection.

Democratic politician not Bernie-coded: *says something reasonable* Leftists: We’re voting no Republican! Democratic politician who is Bernie coded: *sexually assaults multiple women* Leftists: vOtE bLuE nO mAtTeR who!!!1!

We need at some point to talk about American Evangelicalism as a heretical movement. We should not indulge the delusion of a bunch or nuts who cherry-pick the Bible to rationalize otherwise indefensible 21st century bigotries that they are representatives of a global faith.

Nailed it

the "rev. wright" problem resulted in the person with the supposed problem becoming u.s. president. that does not sound like much of a problem.

They are so close to getting it: Democrats didn’t lead to Trump — Democrats not using their power to dismantle Republican power and money led to Trump.
