This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway. Read all of it. He wrecks them: newrepublic.com/article/1999...
Quite the explosion of fake babe followers on here!

Racist nativism of the old style.

Why it's the reinvestment of surplus product in search of the production of more surplus product. That was easy!

How annoying, Bluesky. Xitter offers a preview!
Zack Polanski, the new leader of the British Greens, seems all right! www.instagram.com/reel/DOGNNl2...
Well, @playbookdc assures me Trump is ok, so I'm relieved. www.politico.com/newsletters/...
Zohran Mamdani is the happiest politician in America, his whole campaign is about how New York is awesome and can be even awesomer. Meanwhile, there has never been a politician in history who talked as much about what a shithole he thinks America is as Donald Trump does.

Of course Tapper didn’t write it until after the fact. Guess he’ll do it again
What a bullshit answer
Yes
Haha
Something seemed suspicious about the Rudy accident story and this only deepens suspicions.
My first wife did that. We’re not married anymore but she’s a fine person.

I have my limits
He allegedly gave an interview to The Daily Caller on Friday www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
I don’t like him but he wrote a book about the coverup of Biden’s deterioration.
Where’s Jake Tapper?
Well ok but aside from that …
Eek. Maybe I should replace!
I’ve had mine for five years and never replaced it. Am I risking injury or death?
Remember when conservatives purported to believe in limited government?
Absolute hell. I'm about to step into the dystopic landscape of brownstone Brooklyn, a scene of devastation and despair.
Well that settles it!
Heu @governor.ny.gov
It exploded during the pandemic. My local Food Emporium has a shelf full of Bread Alone products. About 80% are sourdough. There are a few loaves of “peasant” bread that sell out quickly. After that you have your choice of three kinds of sourdough.
I don’t get the sourdough fad. I don’t want my bread to be sour. I like it yeasty.
This opinion could get you arrested or fired in the US, Britain, or Germany We Israelis are part of a mafia crime family. It's our job to fight against it from within www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...

Uh these are not my people
How nice this crank has the power of life or death over 342 million people
Undermines credibility
They could at least vary the wording a bit
"Almost everyone in the business community thinks the tariffs are a bad idea, but CEOs are all too aware that saying so could put their job and company at risk of retaliation from the administration," Sachin Shivaram writes. https://wapo.st/3VodhEF
"As President Trump sat with top donors at his New Jersey golf club this month, he made a private admission: He believed the coronavirus vaccine was one of the biggest accomplishments of his presidency, but he couldn’t bask in it." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
This wouldn't be a negation, would it? "An association with a negative sign in front of it," as I once saw it characterized. Last thing on Vance's mind I'm sure!
Patri!
This all gets worse by the day.

Never in a million years did I think Brazil would be a stronger democracy with better institutions than the US. But here we are, and as of today this is unquestionably true.
Could we just ignore this guy? He lives for attention.
No thanks! “Severity of judgment is a great virtue.” —William Blake
Of course these ghouls think "spiraling" is good news.
It’s grotesque they think there are two sides to this story. Hateful mofos.
Seriously dystopian shit
Perhaps Kristi Noem is a lesson that people who shoot puppies are just bad people.
Are you an idiot, a liar, a paid propagandist, or all three?
Partisanship is a helluva drug
“As well as sharing conspiracy theories, the account bearing [Trump nominee for BLS Commissioner, EJ] Antoni’s name repeatedly used violent rhetoric to declare how far it was willing to go to ensure Trump secured a second term in office.”
Does this actually mean anything?
Victor Orban would be proud.
My best tweet ever was “Let’s put the cialis in socialism” and I’m still mad it didn’t go wildly viral
New: Flock, the ALPR company in thousands of U.S. communities and which ICE taps into, wants to partner with a firm that sells dashcams to ordinary drivers. Nexar gets "trillions" of images a month from the dashcams. Could turn cars into roaming surveillance devices www.404media.co/flock-wants-...

The US has become totally ludicrous
UPDATE: After Netanyahu called the bombing of journalists in Nasser hospital — followed by the bombing of rescue workers live on air — a “tragic accident”, the soldiers who did it are mad at him and want an apology. Yes, seriously. TLDR: It was not an accident.
How do you get a mandate out of a narrow popular vote margin and a 40-or-less approval rating?
Except he is tearing them down.

Bulldog bulldog bow wow wow!
We’re everywhere!
My old POR comrades! Things weren’t so lively in my day.
I’m forgetting my literary conventions. Trump is too vile and debased to be some sort of tragic hero. Is there a genre he’d fit into?
The body count over the decades would suggest we are.
I believe these were tank shells, so they knew what they were doing up close
“Thank you for your attention to this matter.” He’s mad.
President Trump said he is removing Lisa Cook, a Biden-appointed Federal Reserve governor, citing allegations that Cook submitted fraudulent information on mortgage applications

Why does anyone take this guy seriously?
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.
Well the DP sucks!
The thumper churches and Trump rallies do similar.
This is true and very alarming. They're refighting the Civil War.

"I gave." L'etat c'est Trump.
Can't have the BLS telling the truth on employment or the IEA forecasting peak oil demand sooner than Trump & Co. want to hear.
