No almost voted no, he voted no and was instructed to change his vote. What is it, he didn’t know what he was voting on and had to be told how to vote or he is cognizant and voted no and was made to change his vote. Either way, he is not fit to serve and he just proved it in front of the cameras.

Corporate Media would have crucified Hunter if he had a Russian oligarch pay for his wedding while Biden was president, but they will bury Donald Jr. doing it.
Easy to become inured to absurd asymmetric accountability, but critical to hammer home to US that Corporate Media is biased for Trump.

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but a Russian oligarch bankrolling the wedding of the president’s son is the kind of story that should dominate headlines in any functioning political culture.

I don't understand why more people don't connect Trump calling Somalis "garbage" with the Hutus calling the Tutsis "cockroaches" and the Nazis calling the Jews "vermin."
We know where it starts, and we know where it ends.

Excellent idea. Let's make David Emperor for a day. Objectively we are all better off electing people who know relevant subjects and understand how things work.
If I were emperor for a day, one change I'd make:
In every political race, at every level, at least the *first* debate would be replaced by a simple test of knowledge. How do taxes work? What agency is responsible for what? Is your area growing or shrinking in population?
Just basic stuff.

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024?
It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment.
The tent is big enough for all of us.

Because the threatened billionaires are directing the media they own to split the opposition.

I'm dumb and I have a question:
Why is every show on television talking about Democratic Socialists and never Republican Fascism?

The best way to get to the bottom of the McConnell question is for the governor to appoint a replacement. The GOP legislature passed a law stripping him of that power, but it goes against the state constitution. If they refuse to seat the replacement, take them to court. There’s zero downside.

The Platner news today is the least surprising political headline all year. How many verses of this same song will Democrats sing?
Maybe we stop propping up problematic men at the first hint of issue.

Watching The West Wing for the umpteenth time (my comfort show) and I’m struck once again that swapping out Rob Lowe for Joshua Malina was such an acting downgrade.

Can we please run this guy as the Dem nominee in 2028?
Checks all the boxes needed for a win, right? Midwest, cishet, straight (that we know of) Christian, white guy with prior elected experience. 😉
And running from a safe seat. 😂

The Pope has spoken out for the protection of immigrants, and against the Iran war.
Now he's launching a papal letter on AI.
Tomorrow, he'll be joined by an Anthropic co-founder, religious leaders, and theologians in an address about safeguarding human dignity in the AI era.

Is Pope Leo joining the anti-AI resistance?
Opposition to the technology is growing in the US. Can the first American Pope make a difference in his first encyclical?

Someone ran past a metal detector and was stopped. A floor above the dinner.
It was terrible it happened, and i have not seen a SINGLE PERSON in office say otherwise
But they are milking all of this for all its worth. Playing themselves all to be victims all the time. It’s exhausting

BASH: You and your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. Do you think twice about that when something like that happens?
RASKIN: What rhetoric do you have in mind?
BASH: That he's terrible for this country and so on and so forth

Absolutely not. Congress doesn’t get to pick their members, voters get to pick their representatives. The last time Bob ran in an election in this district, he got trounced in the primary (County Sup 2020). No thumbs on the scale.

Sometimes I think this could all be explained as Russian blackmail victims trying to be so over-the-top outrageous that we’ll have to toss them from office and end their nightmare.
But mostly I think there are just really, really weird and really, really stupid.
