Incredibly disappointing.
Erick Ericksons Frau stirbt, wenn RFK ihr die Covid-Impfauffrischung verweigert. Aber Erickson, OG-Rechts-Influencer noch aus Bushs Zeiten, weiss, wer wirklich am Los seiner Frau schuld ist.
“Alligator Alcatraz” collapsing is the perfect MAGA metaphor: cruel, ugly, and held together with duct tape.
Dass der Mieter:innenverband keinen Rappen in die Abstimmungskampagne zum Eigenmietwert steckt, zeigt die strategische Orientierungslosigkeit dieses eigentlich sehr mächtigen Verbands.
Was ist nur geworden aus Labour.

Healthy appetite. MAHA.
I remember how glad we were when she won in 2018. What a colossal misconception that turned out to be..
I could not care any iota less about how important Bsky is to non-bsky users. I just like this form of communication. But on Xitter I would have died a slow and painful inner death. So I‘m just thankful for this space.
„Donald the Dove, Hillary the Hawk“ 2025. This will be a classic - after the Great Bird Flu of 27…
Yes. I, too, see these pictures and immediately exclaim: Damn you, DNC!

1. My newest Anti-Trans Legal Risk Map is here. Risk has increased sharply for youth in many states as clinics shutter under Trump and state AGs refuse to enforce civil rights laws. For adults, some increases in risk. Nationwide risk remains extreme. Subscribe to support my journalism.
Not at all. It was correct for Biden to step aside. He should have stepped aside at Christmas 2022. My point is: Biden's frailty is not the same as Trump's. Trump still talks louder than Biden, but his cognitive faculties are much more reduced, and not just because he was never as sharp as Biden.
Plus: "You made us vote for the destruction of science and health care" is a slightly bigger self-own than kids losing half a year of school.
You forget that SCOTUS always includes a Doesn't Count For The Right clause.
One of the most successful aspects of Biden's term are his additions to the bench.
Judge Sooknanan is giving a master class in judging during the Trump Administration -- but really in how judges should always value the people whose lives are affected by their decisions.
Biden was old. And still remembered who Chancellor Kohl was. But frail as he is he still knows how tariffs and vaccines work and that you don't hand the military and security might of the most powerful country on earth over to weekend anchors and shitposters..
Ich hab doch vor zehn Tagen soviele gescheite Analysen gelesen, dass Trump, was immer man von ihm halten könne, doch immerhin eine unaufhaltsame Dynamik Richtung Verhandlungen angestossen habe.. Ähm, wohl doch nicht.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

What a gang of mindless amateurs in Washington accomplished in Beijing:
The mental fitness of elderly Presidents has been such an important issue for the media lately, so I expect wall-to-wall coverage of how President Trump has once again thrown a fit about one of his own signature policies, showing no awareness of how it arose or who executed it.
In den Mittelschichtsvierteln von Buenos Aires ist es normal geworden, dass Familien in Mülltonnen nach Essen suchen. Währenddessen lobt die @nzz.ch Präsident Mileis «Erfolgsbilanz», und @zeit.de fragt: «Hat die Kettensäge etwa Erfolg?» Von @sophiaboddenberg.bsky.social
This is worth sharing far and wide. Federal Employees and contractors oral history project. Im not involved in this. Just got the link, idea seems to be to create a record of the assault on the American Repuvlic after Jan 2025. www.fecohp.org

“I got a call at 2:36 am, the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to move these children. I tried to reach the government, have been up since then, didn't reach anyone until later this morning. Those planes were loaded. One took off and was returned."
It's worth remembering the importance Rubio once attributed to USAID. . . and what an incredible hypocrite he is. #USAIDforever
Yeah, all of them, they were not great. Really not. But compared to what we have now they were outstanding public servants.
I want Heckuva-job-Brownie back!
We watched Spike Lees’ excellent doc about Katrina on Netflix the other night. One cannot watch that without thinking that as terribly managed as that was, the crew we got running things now is 1000% worse. Now take away FEMA from the mix as t’s doing, we are f’ed. www.netflix.com/us/title/816...
Je mehr wir uns von Covid entfernen, desto mehr wird klar, dass die Pandemie gewinnt.
Martha Raddatz pivoted from criticizing Wes Moore over his attacks on Trump's lack of military service to grilling him about his own military service record.
Es steht nicht gut um die Welt, wenn die Schweiz bereits als soziales Vorbild gehandelt wird.
Jo Cox was murdered by a man with a house full of neo-Nazi agitprop and this was then retconned into a vague narrative about social media abuse

Ich finde dieses Ping-Pong aus steiler reaktionärer These mit kaum Recherche und dann kluge Antworten darauf so mühselig. Fühl mich da als Leserin nicht ernstgenommen.

The left-of-GOP youtube sphere is remarkably unified these days. More so than during Trump I. This Chorus thing is the first real squabble in months. And most of it stems from the fact that a) the pushed content was sort of lame and that b) many left wing accounts would have wanted some money, too.
NEW: The Nordic and Baltic states are driving a more robust European engagement on Ukraine amid apprehension over Trump’s dance with Putin, writes @michaeldweiss.bsky.social for @newlinesmag.bsky.social. newlinesmag.com/argument/the...
Yeah. So?
„Turning on each other instead of focusing on shooting down the Right“ is right-wing propaganda? Are you sober?

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.” Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

That’s the point. The US kept them out for 20 years!
I remember 2001 and before, the first Taliban government. It was horrible, especially for women and children. The coalition occupation was by no means perfect, but it was better than the nightmare they have now. Obama stayed, Trump sold them out, Biden chickened out.
Das war vor vier Tagen. Keine Schlagzeilen, keine Frontpages, keine Enthüllungsbücher. Aber wehe, Biden ist mal in die falsche Richtung aus dem Bild gelaufen...
Withdrawing from Afghanistan was wrong. Look at what's happening there now.
Exactly. He did jack shit except for when he did not jack shit. That’s what I always say, too.
Give it to Zelenskyy.
Böööös.

Thanks again, Merrick Garland.
Das Smithsonian hatte mit „Project 1619“ nichts zu tun. Das ist ein Artikel über einen Apfel und eine Orange.
i mean, its political malpractice that democrats arent running and promoting a running tab on the cost of the presidents self-suck parties right?
Daily Wire ist ja keine Medium, sondern quasi eine Trump-PR-Firma. Und da Leavitt nicht sofort antwortet mit "Ja, wir werden bereits morgen die entsprechende Verordnung...etc.", geh ich davon aus, dass der Vorschlag wirklich eine Daily-Wire-Idee ist. Was einfach widerlich ist.
She was astounding. What a loss for SNL.
NEW: CNN's now publicly released video analysis shows Israel's 'double-tap' attack on Nasser Hospital was, in fact, actually a triple-tap. They bombed the hospital, and then fired upon the rescue team and journalists with not one but two more shells.
True, you're right. Didn't see it.
Meanwhile, kids are dead.
Who is this or where is she from, do you know?
Grossartig. Was für tolle Ideen die US-Journalisten immer haben. Das ist echtes Mitdenken.

Ich hab die Chroniken nie gelesen, darum musste ich nachschauen. Das Zitat ist echt. Jessen hat es praktisch reproduziert. Mein Gott. @zeit.de, spürt ihr euch noch?
Au weia, au weia. Jessen war schon überzeugender
Ist alles recht schnell gegangen, hm?
Fühle mich von Spiegel total in meiner Lebensrealität abgeholt.
Frühere Generationen gaben einst die Demokratie auf, weil die Wirtschaft zusammengebrochen oder ein Krieg verloren gegangen war. Wir heute tun es aus Blasiertheit und Alterslangeweile.
Ich muss jetzt mal nachfragen: Was genau sagt uns das..? Ist das viel, wenig?
Oh shit.. #robinwestman

"Auf mehr als 37 Prozent Zustimmung kommt die Partei [die Grünen] im neuen Start-up-Monitor." Menschen, die ein Start-Up gründen, müssen sich ganz zwangsläufig mit der Zukunft auseinandersetzen - es ist also alles andere als überraschend, dass GründerInnen auf @gruene-bundestag.de vertrauen.

Almost every day there’s a Trump scandal that skates by that in any other moment of presidential history would launch endless follow-up stories, congressional investigations, and sink an administration. I zeroed in on just two of them from this week: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/a-watergat...
Absolutely. But Trump might be shamed into stopping it, just like he stopped his all-caps bleets.
Newsom and his secretaries should mock that, as well. A ten minute sycophancy orgy. Full on SNL style.
