The last 24 hours I lurked on Twitter more than anytime since I quit it, and one thing dawned on me - I think there are a lot of libs who actually just enjoy "the fight" .. there is something cathartic about dunking or replying to a conservative making a dumb point, and you obviously lose that here
Is this just cause of the scandal? If so that bodes pretty poorly for Dems and how easy itll be for Republicans to again manufacture a crisis in 2028 or 2030
DFL staff are now confirming this is true and tim walz will be dropping from the governor’s race tomorrow morning
seems what i heard a few hours ago is true and tim walz is dropping tomorrow. my sources also couldn’t confirm it at the time though

You don't hate Republicans enough. They are so much worse than a basket of deplorables but what makes it even more frustrating is the amount of tears they'll shed if you call a spade a spade.
Colin and Sophie Hortman, the children of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, are asking Trump to remove the false posts about their parents' killing:

Look, Bluesky is a Twitter byproduct that exists as a community because Musk bought Twitter and killed it and now has X wear it as a skinsuit. No one is here really because they believe in the fediverse, we're here because of what happened to Twitter. This is twitter for opting out of Musk-Twitter.

This was the fakest kayfabe feud of all the Trump feuds. Called it as it was happening.
June 5, 2025: Trump is in the Epstein files!

(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops ..

John Mearsheimer, Oct. 3 2024: "I think that Biden's basic instincts are those of a warmonger, and I think that's not true of Trump. I think Trump is not that interested in fighting wars."

Millions of Americans premiums spiked by double or triple digits or they got completely priced out this month. This is pretty much the only story with extended political consequences.

Not much you can do to a President who views impeachment as a badge of honor and doesn't give a shit about posterity. Adults voted for this guy (twice) and elections have consequences.

Bukele should basically fear for his life if a Democrat wins the next election but let's be real no foreign leader is actually afraid of Democrats lol, its what makes the whole "Dems will start WW3" so insane as a rhetorical device yet we have an electorate so braindead they fall for it.
I don't have much hope of it actually happening even if/when Dems win back power, but is nice to see one Dem politician bring it up

The average liberal (not rando leftist online searching for clout) is aspirational and believes in the American project. The average conservative wants to turn the country into a combination of Hungary and Russia.

I'm an eternal pessimist and its wild how many people will go "If Dems don't do X they'll lose in 2026!" when its basically a done deal that Dems will regain the House in 2026

Dems are terrified of doing good things because of opinion polling while the GOP does evil things despite polling terribly because they know the two party system makes long term political damage impossible. Voters will always get sick of the party of power no matter what happens.

They did that in 2016 too lol, it would have regardless of whether Harris had 2 events with Liz Cheney
"Kamala will draft your sons to fight in Ukraine" was all over the place in 2024. I don't think the Dems appreciated how much the Liz Cheney appearances fed into that; Stephen Miller claimed Cheney would be her defense secretary and start WWIII.
They believed the lie

When you factor in the media will support this, Trump will get a temporary 0.5% bump in popularity and then everyone will forget about it in a week max
I'm very bad at predicting what the public will do but nonetheless this will be a 3 day news blip. If Venezuela descends into chaos, no one here will notice until there are refugees at our border and then they'll get mad at the caravans.

Ngl its actually not off the table that we'll do regime change in Iran. But that actually carries a much higher risk of what comes after so maybe that deters the people around Trump whereas the risk is way way way lower with Venezuela

TBH Fox news but way less Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld is probably not a terrible business plan.
Bari Weiss’ rebrand of CBS News as “Fox News but way less successful!” is coming along apace.
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.
One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”

“What if the guy causing all of our problems just dies” is some grade-A cope, sorry.
Even if were to actually happen, standing from here with what we know, it’d still be cope

I do not understand why no politician or pundit seems to care about the fact that a website they all use now has a “create child porn” option.
so x dot com’s ai generated CSAM and they admitted it may violate US law and … i haven’t seen in anyone in power say much at all or call to stop using the platform

one of my recent preoccupations is the visceral hostility the MAGA right has for the histories and traditions of the United States. these are people who spit on the Declaration and salute third-rate European despots!
It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.
