I've written plenty about the problems of poltiical media - particularly when it comes to how policy is reported.
But what are they supposed to do with today? Pretend Streeting and Rayner aren't doing anything? That no one resigned? That Sarwar didn't call for him to quit?

Sadly both the theories behind IRA have mostly failed
1. Deliverism: deliver jobs and investments to consolidate democratic voters -> win 2024 election
2. Poltiical Lock-In: deliver jobs and investments to red states & districts so that a IRA caucus inside the GOP would protect the clean economy

In Ireland, now, decades after a holding truce and a renunciation of poltiical violence, governance remains divided and there is some nascent talk and consideration of reunification. A two-state solution now -- fuck the West Bank settlements, fuck Netanyahu, fuck Hamas and Hebolleh and their...

2016 we had the biggest geopolitical failure in British poltiical history, in which a government had the central element of its policy unpicked because of a gamble gone wrong.

But if we're going to drag this stuff into the light and treat it as a legitimate subject of poltiical discussion, that means being critical in a serious way.

similarly the cope that bernie's loss was the result of some shadowy conspiracy to get pete to drop out before super tuesday instead of the extremely normal poltiical play of biden getting him to do that by promising him DOT if he won

Thank you Ian McClelland, former Reform Party founding MP.
Ian’s endorsement of the #ForeverCanadian petition to keep Alberta united in Canada, is the latest support we are seeing from across poltiical lines!
Thank you, Ian!

What Bishiop Budde said/did is NOT POLTIICAL>. What is absolutely FN political is that NO OTHER BISHOP/CARDINAL/PRIEST or religious leader has come to defend her. THAT SUCKS

I think this is missing an attempt to reach out and heal the poltiical divide so I would like to make it clear that Scubble *is* non-binary but also that they loved Duck Dynasty and post on X.
I know there's a lot of controversy about the Cracker Barrel logo, so I worked up a new option that should be good with everyone... The barrel is back, but it's now guarded by Scubble, The Cracker Goblin. I also worked up a new slogan for the company!

as a poltiical scientist (albeit one focused on international relations), I can share the arcane jargon describing the shift over the past two months is: holy shit.

The live poltiical cabaret scene is still very strong in Germany as well but that often doesn’t translate out of the local context even to the national level.

The best way to lose command of the army is to try to use it against one's poltiical opponents including the courts.
One close Trump adviser simply says that the president’s ultimate leverage against certain judges who try to stand in the way of his agenda is that the judiciary does not command an army, while the president of the United States does.
'Move Fast': Inside Team Trump's Furious Defiance of the Courts
Donald Trump's advisers are attacking judges for daring to “control” him. Trump wants the one objecting to his deportation plans to be “IMPEACHED!!!”

I believe that state governance is still the biggest power but my overlords are buying those state poltiical apparatuses at a good clip. There’s some risk in going
full on centrist MAGA but it is manageable. The upside seems huge.

-has no language, race, gender, poltiical, geographic bounds

My hot take is our tax stream is actually big enough, we just misallocate it (e.g. what is our spending per pupil on schools?)
Also I think taxing the super rich more heavily has other extremely important functions, as multi-billionaires have too much poltiical power.
