My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.
hello my name is Doctor Statistics, I have a mathematical proposal for winning elections and it involves subtracting part of my coalition
In 2024 Sen. Merkley & I visited the Rafah gate on the Egypt-Gaza border. On the other side was Gaza’s thriving city of Rafah—home to 270K. Today we saw it reduced to rubble. The Netanyahu govt has gone beyond targeting Hamas to waging a war of destruction against all Palestinians. It must end.
Bizarre.
I believe it is technically “Chucks Grassley”
They really have to push leaners…
No, lots of ordinary people.
We’re shitting away a perfectly decent economy for “reasons”
When did they do that? In 2000, in Florida? Think trying to pull that nationwide in a time of shall we say heightened attention to the matter probably wouldn’t just go over. I don’t get this idea that every thing they do would just happen, unopposed.
Good
Please god take them all
a pretty good summary of the 21st century is that the humiliation of america's defeats in the middle east post-9/11 curdled into a reactionary politics that seeks affirmation in the humiliation of anyone who is an other: liberals, minorities, the global south, china, europe, whoever.
You *might* be having a stroke
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
Hope you stick around.
Covenant marriage now!
People openly cheering for the death of the president is shameful. Cynics might gesture at a generations-long failure of elite accountability meeting a political party—from the Supreme Court down—openly conducting a criminal conspiracy with the president, but we all know where this starts: college.
i really think jd vance is the fakest politician i've seen in my lifetime. there is nothing sincere about him.
Most rural people are uninterested in their own well-being. I live in one of these areas and now I’m starting to see Trump 2028 flags. Fuck em.
Erick Erickson's wife, who has stage 4 lung cancer, is having trouble getting the COVID vaccine. And you will not be surprised to learn, dear reader, that he is blaming the left for RFK, all while the vile demons in the audience he built scream shit at him about how the vaccine gave her cancer.
Saw him live on Monday, incredible show. Keep it up Neil.
I have no idea what’ll go down but generic ballot doesnt worry me much (yet). Long way to go, Trump is unpopular, and a Trump +2 sample. Who knows what the electoral environment will be by next November. I suspect quite a lot is going to happen between now and then.
Many of the trump voters are lying
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Gonna be an increasingly tough sell.
these attacks aren't accelerationism, at least not in the way that some of the progenitors imagined it. they are acute and horrific expressions driven by the creeping tendrils of social rot, enabled by the mountain of weapons we have built instead of a safety net, aimed toward nothing but death
I don't post much any more, but for everyone poring over the manifesto, scrawlings, and footprint following the Minneapolis shooting, here's a timesaver. The aim is to be remembered, discussed, to turn oneself into content that then becomes the next reference on a gun.
media should not interview minors who have just survived a mass shooting
“I’m Goin’ Down” was released as a single on this day in 1985. With a sharp backbeat and bar-band sensibility, it’s one of the most rhythmically playful tunes on "Born in the U.S.A." — with the E Street Band turning heartbreak into something you can move to.
No, I’m very serious.
Maine - Senate Polling 🔵 Platner: 48% 🔴 Collins: 32% 🔵 Mills: 43% 🔴 Collins: 42% (Platner Internal)
He and the GOP are just gonna go on a days long hate barrage against trans people because of who the shooter was.
Minneapolis Mayor Frey: "Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community or any other community out there has lost their sense of common humanity. We should not be operating out of a place of hate for anyone. We should be operating out of a place of love for our kids."
They were also pretty much all wrong about the outcome and fundamentals too
This guy is going to be married to the richest woman in the world
Hell yeah. Eat shit gop.
No, some of these states quite literally *have to go to court* over this. They are legally obligated to do so, because of state constitutional protections.
What I’m saying is, because of state state law, some of these states are legally obligated to go to court on this, and they will very likely win. Admin has done this bullshit before.
I don’t support trans exclusion in sports. I thought the person who responded to me was being unduly pessimistic about the chances of this action by the administration being upheld in court. I have no personal attachment to the Democratic Party in any way.
Kind of reminds me of when the Iraq war was going to shit, but it was still the only thing keeping bush somewhat above water.
Those are hospitals, these are states, some of which enshrine gender equality in their constitutions. It is not the same. Look at Maine, Cali high school sports, etc. Court of public opinion is generally supportive of basic, fundamental lgbtq rights, even if not on trans inclusion in sports.
I legitimately feel bad for the guard, I’ve seen some videos that were cringe but they don’t have a choice. And they’re being transparent with and receptive to the public. The fucking feds are a different story.
Lakshya isn’t a bad guy and he’s not a Republican. He’s just a Stanford engineer/AI dude who doesn’t really interact with many people outside that general demographic. Same can be said of many of the centrist Dems in that world.
Ignore, take it to court. Gonna be very hard for them to pull funding over this.
Don’t disagree entirely but problem is that Trump personally does not care about the Fed being under democratic control. He wants it under his *personal* control, which is very different. If we’re to democratize/reform the Fed, capricious firings and dictates from a personalist are not the way.
Cracker Barrel thing in particular was a bit of a jump the shark moment. Have heard/seen normal people throwing around the word “snowflake” to describe maga. Truer than ever.
He would be much better at the clientelism part
Good, fuck em
To make the stakes clear, potential Dem Presidential candidates should say that if SCOTUS allows this they will fire any Trump Fed appointees in 2028. Because that is the logical endpoint.
Evil terrorist state.
While John Bolton should be defended from Trump's abuse of power, we should remember that the current authoritarianism is a product of the imperial presidency Bolton has supported all his life. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
Most relevant question is does it affect the outcome of the VA gov election. Really don’t think it will. And I’m not sure how much longer this play is gonna work for the GOP.
Still almost definitely gonna lose.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Thanks man
I don’t love this, but at the end of the day it’s just a responsible thing to do if you have the money to do it.
like the republican campaign said she fucked her way to the top and she allowed immigrants to devour peoples pets and we’re debating whether she overused the phrase birthing person in her stump speech quoting angela davis, a thing that never happened
Clinton can go to jail too, that’s fine
I'm PhD in graphic design and Cracker Barrel's REAL problem is they didn't go *far enough*
the actual communication problem democrats have is this: their most prominent national figures filter everything through focus grouped lines and are incapable of plain speech
WWII, literally the worst possible example
“Crakr” logo killed me
I think we should just tax wealth using tax law, which will be better.
Yes there is, especially if NY doesn’t find a way to redistrict.
Nothing in that article indicated or supported what the headline says. Who knows what’s going to happen. Trends don’t just continue forever.
My parents never showed me any affection or pride especially in front of other people! That would be insane. Absolute betrayal of tiger parenting precepts. They also never talked positively about themselves or their interests because they didn't have any. This was key to the nurturing environment.
Sherrod could win and I hope he does, but he’s also trying to be senator of a state that doesn’t exist anymore.
New dark ages.
I have never seen something so explicitly political in my (Roman Catholic!) church bulletin
Yeah I would say lean dem in the house unless absolute worst case redistricting happens, and I should probably not doom about it regardless.
I agree with you, but vast majority of cops and LEO in general are right wing and don’t care about any of that.
Then how come all the cops are maga
Sounds good to me!
Zohran kind of famously hasn’t campaigned on “woke issues,” whatever the fuck that even means. Not that I expect the hogs who watch this shit to know any better.
Good chance they keep the house and the senate too!
Yeah. There’s no point agonizing over it either way. Even in the worst case scenarios Dems will have a good shot at winning the house. And if they don’t, we’ll just have to deal with it.
And 55% with likely voters. Yeah it can and might fail but people should just relax.
They don’t think these guys are undocumented. They’re being hassled for an entirely different reason.
I guess they’re trying to recruit 50-60 year olds who have any idea who Dean Cain is
I dunno. Very early, and it has several contributors who are not going to be doing this. But out of the gate, strikes me as accurate enough. Not that it really matters, and everyone should chill.
I just don’t get why anyone cares. Use whatever platform you want. Vast majority of us are unimportant people with unimportant ideas, whether it’s here, Twitter, TikTok, insta, etc.
i mean the fundamental thrust of modern concservatism is an abject rejection of any change whatsoever, for any reason, which you see in the right’s goal(s) for political and/or cultural power: we will still burn the coal, we will still have the racist mascots (remember aunt jemima), etc
You know I never would’ve backed this in the past, but at this point I don’t see how we ever come back from unitary executive federal overreach. Gonna be near impossible to put the genie back in the bottle. We aren’t a “union” anymore anyway. TX and NY might as well be different countries.
I see this 'conservative means conserving and the new guys aren't' thing all the time. Clearly, there are differences between Trump and what came before, but if you rightly understand it's about 'conserving' hierarchies (class, race, gender, religion, etc), it's obviously all the same project.
These people are completely delusional. Unable to conceive of normal, organic, and popular opposition to whatever it is they think they’re doing.
If this image makes sense to you, you should be in therapy. If its something you enjoy, it’s too late for you and I need you to know big 5 is having a Labor Day sale on shotguns
If, four years from now, Democratic voters view the military negatively or skeptically, this will be treated as a problem that is incumbent *for the Democratic party to solve*, not as a failure by the DoD leadership or something that requires policy shifts to ameliorate.
The world in 2025.
rod dreher’s dad was an Exalted Cyclops but sure man let’s see what he thinks is the primitive root of the problem
People seem to be forgetting that there’s gonna be a primary election where this is all hashed out
Do what you want. The masses are on tiktok and insta anyway.
It’d be nice if he ever, once in his life, asked himself that question (he hasn’t and won’t).
Rod is a complete freak in many ways, but chief among them is that he is the least self aware person on earth.
Honestly do not even care anymore
These people are quacks, idiots, and marks. Which anyone with a brain already knew.
77 million voters.
I’m sorry but although it’s not a majority a very large group of voters in this country likes Trump and what the GOP is doing. The Dems can and should be doing better, but can’t pretend that 40%+ aren’t onboard with what’s going on.
