For a hot minute there, it looked like DSA was actually a political organization and not just debate club for the most annoying people you've ever met

People literally do this all the time, and if both candidates are actually antisemitic "vote for the least bad one" is exactly the right move.

I have questions

Thank you to the reporter who mentioned that Qui Tam lawsuits already exist in federal law. Trump is too stupid to know that this already exists.

I think if Ohio voters *really* think about what that ad means, they'll conclude that it means Republicans trust the people who defend pedophiles more than they trust the victims of pedophiles.

RFK Jr.'s new Women's Health Task Force

Brooklyn hipsters are endlessly annoying

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

not to be flippant but I think that almost all of these people have severe personality disorders and it’s merely a result of circumstance that they’re here instead of storming the capitol on Jan 6th

On the one hand, it’s comforting to know that Americans aren’t uniquely stupid, voters everywhere have skulls filled with mush and worms. On the other hand, global fascism is probably not an ideal state of affairs.

there are vanishingly few principles that Donald Trump holds to, but by far the most important one is a universal admiration and fellowship with sex criminals

this is how a cartoon dog would stand if it was about to be lifted in the air by the aroma of a delicious pie

NEW: @talkingpointsmemo.com can reveal GOP nominee for Florida legislature: -marched at deadly Charlottesville Nazi rally w/ white supremacist group's flag -has *many* white supremacist donors -appears to advocate lynching He is expected to win Nov. election talkingpointsmemo.com/news/florida...

I have never been more jealous of anything in my life

Omg. When you’ve lost Joe DiGenova….

Leaving aside that blue states had started legalizing gay marriage well before Obergefell, the majority for that case was one Republican (Kennedy) and four Dem appointees, two of whom had been appointed by Obama

Antonin Scalia did not give us same sex marriage. Put down the fucking crack pipe

Not only that, but if he were to actually skip it, that would immediately be used to attack him as well. This is bullshit all the way down and nobody should be giving it the time of day

This is somehow still going, and it’s not just a few random families now; it’s also a former mayor of NYC and governor of New York. There is, again, no way to reason to argue Mamdani shouldn’t attend this commemoration that isn’t fundamentally bigoted

Trump says 18 Americans dying fighting Iran is “small potatoes”

I know I’m late to the party here but…they made a coyote torts movie?!

too old for tiktok, too young for leaded gasoline

I never would have predicted that cutting 20% of the staff at the federal agency that makes sure our food is safe would result in a bunch of our food being declared unsafe.

Shortly after taking office last year, Pete Hegseth polled the nation's top commanders about cutting a program designed to protect civilians during U.S. military operations. Every commander rebuffed the idea. He did it anyway.

Investors in Trump's family crypto business have lost an estimated $4.7 billion, according to an analysis released by consumer advocacy watchdog Public Citizen. Here's the report: www.citizen.org/wp-content/u...

the year is 2027. gas costs $83 and lettuce is at war with us. however every location on every map now says AMERICA

I quite like Ossoff but it’s very obvious to me that the second after he announces he's running for president there will be an extended cinematic universe of smears and conspiracy theories about him across every website, including this one, primarily about how he’s in the pocket of Israel

half expecting to find out trump was actually born in kenya, its the only thing left from the obama years so far that wasnt total projection

its just funny because during obama the debt and “certainty” were the most important things to ever exist for businesses and corporations and the media

Gonna be a big problem as soon as a Dem is in office.

I think a major difference between Dems and Republicans is that Republicans could turn even the hint of this sort of abuse into a culture war event. Remember the IRS targeting conservative orgs (they weren't but never mind)? Dems mostly don't have a media machinery to gin up this sort of outrage.

"Basically indistinguishable from literal sabotage" is this administration's general vibe.

You can see this coming from a mile away and it's still so annoying. Democracy desperately needs a better media class.

This makes perfect sense when you realize that Cenk, Ana, Brie, and the entire left media punditry got rich off of Trump 1's chaos and then their viewerships plummeted after Biden got elected. That was the status quo they feared from Harris: their continued irrelevance.

This isnt about AOC; just like it wasnt about Hillary or Kamala. These guys aren't gonna vote for a woman. Ever. Period. But they'll spend a lot of time telling you how its not misogyny. 🙄

“Orange man bad” is the most consistently correct take in U.S. politics for the past decade. The people who disagreed that Trump is a fascist profoundly misunderstood politics and should have much, much more humility going forward.

One of Count Binface's campaign promises is "cut your taxes and raise everyone else's" which is a really good bit but also a pretty succinct description of a lot of people's actual politics

I think the thing we are all in denial about when it comes to the One Cool Trick to win elections forever is that low info swing voters are basically incomprehensible eldritch horrors to politically engaged people. There’s no understanding them and you’ll go mad trying.

The persuadable non-voter in a nutshell.

I reject the notion there is this mass of smart, thoughtful and caring Americans who just don't vote. Choosing not to vote is actually a huge red flag that you are none of those things.

She really is a generational talent. Absolutely nailing the character of "Mets fan"

BREAKING NYT: Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states "based solely" on whether they backed Trump in the 2024 election.

Trump is, to borrow a term, intersectionally awful: His incompetence, bordering on an uncanny anticompetence, in each particular sphere is compounded & exacerbated by his incompetence in all the others.
