Sean Andrews

Through 14 innings of fearless, near-perfect playoff baseball, this was the gutsiest call of the night. This will be honored 30 years from tonight.

I'm not a Christian, and haven't been one for a long time, but i've always found these words and what they're supposed to mean to be the fundamental core of Christianity, even over and above the Sermon on the Mount, and I truly don't understand people who miss this.

I grew up in a lower income immigrant family and we ate at Red Lobster for "special days." But we also understood the White House should not look like the inside of Red Lobster. It's condescending to assuming working ppl are culturally illiterate bc their experience is shaped by their limited means.

At this point, I'm all but certain CEQA does more harm than good to the environment and I'd support abolishing it (with some limited exceptions). But the carve out for HSR gives up the entire game. Vote no on Prop 45.

If conservatives are so concerned about the burden CEQA places on CA High-Speed Rail, why did they carve out HSR from Prop 45? Maybe it has something to do with the numerous CEQA lawsuits filed by GOP-aligned Central Valley landowners against HSR?

Ban this entire evil industry.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

The generation that got to buy cheap houses thanks to a postwar construction boom, then blocked new housing construction to juice their asset values is now whining that they have to pay taxes on their unearned wealth. Just breathtaking selfishness.

If most dems had spines they could absolutely dog walk everyone disingenuously asking about "boys in girls sports" just like this

This shouldn't be legal.

That is LITERALLY WORD FOR WORD THE OPPOSITE of what Section 230 means. Section 230 protects you from liability BECAUSE CONGRESS WANTS THEM TO MAKE EDITORIAL CHOICES. Why do so many people on this platform fall for MAGA propaganda about 230?

It's deeply funny that the dodgers are gonna get swept and we're still gonna have a strike next year because the owners are greedy and Bryce Harper is an asshole (complementary).

This is straight up, plain and simple authoritarianism. This is the canonical impeachable offense

Major gotcha moment from the NBC Los Angeles mayoral debate: Mayor Bass says many supporters of Nithya Raman's campaign are advocates for bike lanes!! Duh!! Of course! Bike lanes save lives! 🚲🌴

i see this argument a lot but this is an aberration in some clear, material ways. it’s only not an aberration if you treat it as an abstraction.

Ossoff's superpower is that he correctly thinks his opponent is a contemptible piece of shit and he is willing to explain why in clear and direct language. bsky.app/profile/atru...

We don’t spend enough time talking about just how WEIRD all these people are. This is just an incredibly weird and insecure thing to say. Imagine any other SecDef ever being this weird and insecure?!

So you just learned about the AI cult, huh? Here is the longform explainer you need to make sense of the very, very strange ideas driving tech policy in 2026. Buckle up, it’s a wild ride. www.techpolicy.press/what-policym...

I know this is an annoying trope at this point, but Biden would have been impeached if he'd said the 13 service members who died during the withdrawal from Afghanistan were "small potatoes." I just don't understand how this isn't a presidency ending scandal.

My main takeaway from the Lindsay Clancy case is that there is no good reason to televise criminal trials and anyone arguing in favour should be viewed as suspect

as a reminder, the boat murders are a) very clear cut crimes and b) crimes where the command responsibility liability is limited to a couple dozen people, total, from pete to ac commanders it's the one specific area dems (if they have to pick only one) should be focused on making examples of in DoD

Republicans' largest donor (by far) is hosting a robust debate on his platform about whether Jews are white. Corporate Media will ask precisely 0 Republicans about their largest donor's all-consuming misogyny, xenophobia, antisemitism, he will instead by referred to as a visionary industrialist.

High speed rail service to smaller cities is international best practice and a great way to boost ridership. Nothing about stops in Bakersfield and Madera prevents CAHSR from running express trains from SF to LA.

Your friendly reminder that Steph Curry--"short" by NBA standards and oftentimes (noticably) the smallest person on a court--is 6'4" and otherwise physically massive compared to 99.5% of the male population.

Hasan Piker is simply not famous enough to normies to warrant this level of attention! He does not demand these endless statements! Nick Fuentes dined with the president and Republicans just played the “I don’t know her” game. No reason to play into this bad-faith shit.

As @brianbeutler.bsky.social argued, the next Democratic president should send bulldozers to the Supreme Court and tell them they have 15 minutes to decide if the Unitary Executive Theory is real.

LA Mayor Bass is supporting this.

Was there a greater TV show? No. No, there wasn’t. You can keep your Wires and Sopranos and Breaking Bads - this was peak TV.

If you want to know why it feels like there is no direction or vision in LA, this is why. The LA establishment is stuck 50 years in the past, serving people like the Sherman Oaks HOA who want all the opportunity of being a global city while pretending their neighborhood is a village.

This has sent Trumpworld into a panic we haven’t seen since the WSJ published Trump’s birthday card to his best friend and partner in pedophilia. Any Democrat tut-tutting this needs to be ignored from this point on.

This is the right-wing, coordinated defense and freakout prompted by ONE Ossoff line against Natalie Harper. Go on OFFENSE.

bsky.app/profile/matt... now this is precisely how the bully's loser friends act when someone finally punches the bully in the face

If Dems go on offense against MAGA, you can capture the media news cycle and attention economy. Or, you can spend your time attacking the left.

Bill Clinton got House and Senate Democrats (zero Republicans) to pass a bill that cut the deficit by $500 billion through a mix of tax increases and spending cuts, setting the table for years of economic growth and a fiscal surplus. The party's reward was a crushing defeat in the 1994 midterms.

One of the reasons I changed my mom's phone number was to stop these texts. She has dementia and kept agreeing to give monthly donations. I tried removing her name from lists and blocking all the numbers, but neither worked. The spam kept coming. This practice is immoral and exploitive.

the fact that john ossoff can kick off a two-day media cycle by saying that the president is uninterested in doing his job and is sleeping through meetings and traveling around with a young blonde, suggests that not enough of these guys are speaking plainly and effectively about these assholes

Disband ICE. This will be the minimum any Dem candidate will have to promise if they want to make it past their primaries.

The party in which he is nominally a leader just passed a resolution calling for the abolition of ICE but this mealy mouthed clown can’t help but undercut it. Jeffries must be replaced when Democrats retake the House.

the argument against Mamdani attending the 9/11 anniversary, as far as I can tell, is literally just that he’s Muslim, and reposting it is just reporting rank racism

The corporate media will demand a Democrat disavow words of a supporter a thousand times more than they will demand a Republican be accountable for the actions of their president

For me, it's the "I pay a lot of tax" bit. How does he think that's relevant at all? Why? Money buying influence with politicians isn't enough, just the fact that you pay more in taxes means the government should treat you better.

if the moderate wing of the Dem party would spend even half of the energy they are spending fighting the DSA on fighting Trump they wouldn't be losing so many primaries to the DSA
