You can fight billionaires and support capitalism the same as you can hate the Yankees and love baseball

Kalshi says there’s a higher chance the riots will be relocated from Paris to London

The last time I saw Democrats. Republicans and Independents in one room working together, they were trying to escape a riot

Gladwell is also missing context. Three largest US police forces: NYPD - 34,000 officers. Chicago - 11,800. LA - 8,550. Notice the drop off? LAPD has been notorious for substituting technology (think helicopters) and intimidation for staffing. LA is an outlier, something Malcolm might recognize.

NYT, do you think you could let us know when you hand column space to a guy who writes for Beef Magazine? (Not making that up). No doubt he knows more about beef than I do, but I don’t have a vested interest in not biting the hand that feeds me.

Bernard Madoff’s investors didn’t see anything but sunshine and rainbows either. JD, you’re either an accomplice or a fool. And one doesn’t rule out the other.

Bluetorch! Fry their asses.

Anyone notice you never see Ron Johnson and Alex Jones in the room at the same time?

Chat, I didn’t say flying car, I said send Musk flying.

Musk can’t defend his car company from people who hate EVs. Anybody expect him to stand up for his choices now?

Albert Einstein was an examiner in the Swiss patent office 1902-1909 during which time he developed and published his seminal papers on the theory of relativity

Nixon’s fate makes it clear that overlooking Trump’s crimes is rank opportunism, dereliction of duty and moral cowardice. Thus the Watergate investigation and prosecution must be recast as a partisan conspiracy against the President and his party. MAGA’s update of the Lost Cause.

If “shy Trump voters” were too embarrassed to back Trump in past polls, why wouldn’t we expect them to be too embarrassed to admit having voted for him now that it’s all gone off the rails? These are people who don’t want to be scoffed or laughed at or judged, especially by the face in the mirror.

The only thing that would make this depiction of welfare abusers more realistic is using a white farmer.

I’m gonna borrow Trump’s penchant for bestowing new names and declare Missouri is represented by Senator Emily Litella.

“Amazing how many previously seedy and illegal businesses became respectable and legitimate once corporate America figured out how to profit” - Mike Florio, NFL commentator and choir boy History lesson: Rooneys (Steelers), Maras (Giants) and Bidwills (Cardinals) launched by gamblers and bookies

Another way to think about this is for most voters Trump policies land like termites, bad for the foundation, but competing with other life issues for immediate attention. The price of fuel is a hornet swarm on the front porch, there every time you open the door and impossible to ignore.

Thanks, George W Bush, for reminding us you’re a hypocritical bastard and war criminal. You’re still working to support Trump enablers. That makes you one regardless of your stand on Ken Paxton. If you had any integrity, you would publicly endorse Talarico and not lift a finger for any Republican

Send lawyers, guns and money. But mostly money.

If facing our history four square is too much, maybe you are not confident enough that the best parts outweigh the worst. Or you cannot tell the difference, which is why you spend your energy trying to recreate the worst instead of building on the best. Thank you, Lonnie Bunch, for the full story.

@pbump.com See the ad for Tom Kean Jr in NJ-7 where he goes all Luigi Mangione on his Democratic opponent Rebecca Bennett for having been a health care executive?

Likewise telling that it is not a crime to pay people more money. It is, however, a violation of the billionaire code and Ballmer’s fellow owners demand punishment.

Of course the crime the rich person is being held accountable for is paying an employee too much and thereby risking the profits of his fellow cartel members. Because billionaires only punish other billionaires for threats to their own net worth. Genuine accountability or mafia discipline?

Currently the Lake With No Name

Never stop a Republican from betamaxxing. Affix logo to image of nearest MAGA candidate.

Russian equivalent of the business that loses money on every sale but makes it up in volume.

The first Republican President of this century was a war criminal and the second one makes him look like an angel.

Trump wallops allies for not helping us with Iran, yet shields Russia and China from criticism for working against us. Only makes sense if the objective is to reduce the world to a few supremely powerful warlords attended by captive vassal states. The Five Families view of international relations.

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...

I know what Natalie thinks. I want to know what Trump thinks.

How many times do I have to say it? It’s Trojan whore, dammit.

So he works for a team that takes its name from the Spanish history of California in a city founded by the Spanish but ICE thinks it’s a terrible crime that he was born in another country also once a Spanish colony? Remember the R(acism) in RICE is silent.

Generous take. More likely they have no idea how the game is played now. Generals fighting the last war over a glass of port with blankets on their laps. We’re really glad you won all those medals for cavalry charges. Now go back to your nap.

54% of Republicans say they approve of price controls but Trump says affordability is made up.

Wait for the counter-ads where Democratic campaigns ask voters what they think about the price of meat.

Mission accomplished if you use Trump math

Not different from the Republican and Democratic national chairs. The DSA’s appeal comes from its candidates. Talking to the chair is talking to the hand.
