"workers over billionaires" runs counter to those two newspapers' missions
You really have to wonder what these folks would have been like when the whole country was sacrificing to win the First or Second World Wars. The world is so fortunate that there was a better generation of Americans around when we needed them.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.
I would say that chaos theory will throw us for a loop tomorrow so rather than say I’m ahead of schedule I’ll say I have enough time to cope with the chaos

we have a second bathroom in our new apartment and my wife has already rejected my design idea, which was "grungy recreation of the classic CBGBs restroom"
Lord have mercy, I didn't know Jared Golden wanted to enshrine the filibuster into the Constitution! But it was a fun fact I learned in this post. Anyhoo, punt Golden into the fucking sun, he's such a MAGA flirt anyway. open.substack.com/pub/brianbeu...

I've heard enough: Susanne Richmond, we ball
Naturally none of this will shock us but a) a lot of people will be shocked and b) there will nevertheless still be an absolutely gobsmacking number of people willing to keep on believing
Attribute it to what you will, but Trump's ability to convince people he doesn't actually plan to do the zany things he says has been his freakish power—but he's seriously fucking with ordinary folks' money now.

no one is discussing how the media or the NYT covers politics, this is a discussion about the media Democrats create themselves to promote their agenda; the stuff you've invented for yourself to be mad about isn't germane to the OP
no idea what you're even referring to because it's so divorced from the original conversation
okay, bye bye
next time I recommend you try reading the provided source for context instead of just kneejerking it, kiddo, because you're all over the map but missing the target
Narrative buster: NYT finds that DC arrests were up only 13% over the previous two weeks and that the biggest change has been more arrests for minor infractions like smoking weed in a public place. (This does not include immigration abductions.) (Gift link.) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...

thanks as always to @dceiver.bsky.social whose response to getting texted by me out of the blue with a message of “good morning it’s a Meredith Shiner randomly dumps an essay in your inbox day” was just “hell yes.” the absolute best.
it's extremely helpful

No one has the votes anyway, so this isn't a judicial exercise, it's a content-generating exercise. So, you simply say his policies will murder a lot of people and use the spectacle that talk of "impeachment" generates to savage him.
It's important to know what we're dealing with. Though some in the media still try to horse-race, both sides this, we're faced with psychopaths at the helm of our nation's public health, scientific and healthcare efforts. They want to inflict pain and suffering. It's a goal, not a by-product. 6/
I know the usual crowd of sad sacks is gonna get mad when I say it but Democrats should be bringing articles of impeachment against RFK, Jr. today
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.

NEW RESULT: Democrats have flipped a state Senate in Iowa. This was a seat Trump carried by 11%, but Democratic nominee Catherine Drey has just won it by 10.4%. This is the second legislative flip by Dems in Iowa this year. It also means the GOP loses its supermajority in Iowa’s senate.

oooh fun idea
between this and his incomprehensible Sunday show gobbledygook on DC and his wholesale lack of anything resembling charisma Jeffries is looking like a great mistake; I'm hoping the party can rise above this bum
we foresaw it in real time

call us old fashioned but, this account finds newsom's "check out my rock-hard AI nipples. they're absolutely glistening" platform less inspirational than pritz's "you fascists bring that shit here and I will personally fuck your asses up."
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
apparently a good way that white folks can waste ICE's time is to slap a Mexican flag sticker on yr vehicle
if you wind back the clock a year and say “trump will be president, he’ll tear up entire agencies without any legislative authority, ignore court orders, build a concentration camp, and send troops into multiple US cities” you wouldn’t ask “well how many troops?” before deciding what this describes

knee deep in the pure, unadulerated chaos of moving now, when you remember that the big projects that consumed the first few weeks are actually less annoying than the thousand dumb little things you have to do the final days
I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.
refer you back to my previous post
kiddo, I'm not
okay well another county heard from
just as an example, in the paragraph below, to swap in the word "hunger" would make the sentence less accurate; meanwhile "food insecurity" isn't confusing at all
sure put "hunger" on all the bumper stickers but when people who research SNAP and WIC talk about their work they often use "food insecurity" and that's fine, not everything has to be a bumper sticker

I'm as anti-jargon as they come but sometimes you need to have some words on hand to avoid proxility and repetition. And yes, Third Way doesn't want to talk about poverty and I bet those guys get a little too excited in the bathing suit area at the sight of a homeless encampment getting rousted.
