this weekend just gets better and better
100% take this man’s company from him
average Dem strategist: we must focus on bipartisan policies that undercut Republican attacks average Dem voter: having studied the denazification of Germany, we must raze the RNC and leave JD Vance clutching a single wool blanket in a cell after we strip him of everything
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... These people are going to get crushed by inflation
This podcast appearance is only bc his district is tilting against him and he’s trying to make some progressive noises to bring back the squishy Dems
Very excited to vote for Katie Wilson again
Man I cannot wait to vote against this guy next year

TRUMP: Imma sent the military to occupy American cities. ELIZABETH WARREN: They shouldn't overpay for their equipment.

He just calls balls and strikes: 4 balls for Republicans and 3 strikes for Democrats
Isn't the outcome of Trump's 2025 exactly John Roberts' lifelong dreams?
Shor produced the best anti-Trump but nothing else coalition that the Democrats can put up now, so there’s no point in listening to him anymore
Just two more lost election cycles and Shor will have some explaining to do
This is the crux of the whole problem outside the separate problem that Republicans have embraced fascism
The median voter isn't a pureed balance of elite centrist takes, they're somebody who has a passionate opinion about vehicle registration fees but couldn't name the current vice president.
Is it an abundant commonsense bipartisan opportunity economy??
We just got through an election where voters told us they voted on egg prices and thinking Biden was President in 2020 and people are arguing Dems lose because of “Latinx” and let me tell you that’s the most online stupid fucking shit I’ve ever heard in my life.
They are fascists and want Trump to occupy the U.S.
The only silver lining maybe is that both those occupations were failures
www.seattletimes.com/opinion/what... what a great story
This is at least my personal position and I’m not spending money until those losers are gone
The mystery sci fi sub genre is hard to beat
They’re even winning the culture wars and they’re still playing the victim card. Going to fake cry all the way until they put us in reeducation camps
Two of the single greatest advances of our lifetimes are mRNA technology and renewable energy tech and somehow the United States is now virulently against both.
It’s so like the Democrats to run away from being pro immigration, and then the U.S. public learns Republicans are rounding up Army vets and kidnapping families and they suddenly remember immigrants are people with like 80% approval
At least for more the most part we have never felt compelled to argue that the U.S. has never been safer from gun deaths than on a day of mass shooting. Will always associate him with Uvalde for his inability to shut the fuck up for a minute
They’re going to talk about your contradictions in your take behind your back, sorry
It’s freeing once you realize and accept

Sam Altman: I see humans achieving omnipotence using dark matter by… 2030 maybe? That’s if OpenAI is given a quadrillion dollars Theo Von: Yeah Altman: Or, we may become a race of slaves, genetically modified to be harvested by robot spiders. That’s if OpenAI doesn’t get the money Von: Right

I see we are at the second day of ballot returns and the @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social already is stopping news alerts on local elections, as always happens when progressive candidates get ahead
Now to get Adam Smith out of district 9 next year
Just an average person in Seattle with kids and absolutely no one I know is satisfied with these Do Nothings in the Trump 2 era
Heck yeah
Listening to the latest Open Circuit podcast and it’s sad. 4 people desperately trying to make an argument with a force that is breaking things just to break them because people like the podcasters support them
Hit em until the balls fall off and then he can finally be defeated for good

This you? The “some day everyone will have been against this” pivot begins
The fascistic lens in Axios can’t be forgotten when Trump crashes out
Maybe Wilson might just get it done
@adamsmith.house.gov you seem ok with this?
Yes. This administration will just move any funding from anywhere without the same level of power that would jail these people
I remember when there were massive moral panics about the mere possibility that liberals and the left did not sufficiently support our troops and veterans: www.cnn.com/2025/07/19/u...

Have the popularists admitted that what’s popular has changed at all? Where are Klein and Yglesias on this?
The year is 2025. Elmo is a Nazi. The president, also a Nazi, is being taken to task for his prolific history of child rape. The richest man in the world, also a Nazi, has released his chatbot which instructs people on how to break into people’s homes and rape them. The chatbot is also a Nazi.
the big anti-trans NYT story today relies entirely on a data point refuted by my reporting in December for @rollingstone.com, citing a poll figure that the pollster told me in an interview does not reflect how the electorate felt about trans rights in 2024
Won’t be popping tabs for long vibe
At one point the Nazis announced over the radio that when they caught her they were going to rend her into 309 pieces and she got all excited that they knew "her score"

How did Mamdani also program Grok while running for mayor. incredible feet for someone with only above average SAT scores
Schumer, Schatz, Fetterman and Gilibrand and the other 6 traitors really screwed the pooch with the CR
"The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality." - James Baldwin
They can’t help it at all. Even drowned kids gets some kind of calvinistic assessment about how their community’s planning codes mean their deaths are *a little* deserved
“People living in the NW were warned for years about earthquakes. It’s their fault.” It’s all about how ghoulish you want to be
Just flip Texas for Seattle and flood for earthquake and see how far this moral superiority goes. That’s why we’re supposed to be better than conservatives
This should be the base position!
Schumer was clearly wrong at the time, because the Democrats had little leverage to begin with and no reason to think their position would improve later in 2025. And now it’s been objectively proven. Let’s throw out spineless fools like him www.liberalcurrents.com/its-time-for...
The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/
