More like Pete is getting sucked in to believing nonsense from right-wing media personalities to cater to centrists. These people think that just acknowledging LGBTQ people existing is focusing too much on identity.
Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25

“I’m a Grok guy” is the single most embarrassing phrase ever uttered in the course of human history.
JD Vance: "I'm a Grok guy. I think it's the best. It's also the least woke."

Upslope makes some of my favorite lagers in Colorado. The craft beer market is rough in Colorado, regardless of how many people try to claim it is doing well.
Opened in 2008, Upslope is one of the state’s largest craft breweries and arguably one of the most successful retail brands. It joins the rapidly-growing Wilding Brands, which has made several high profile deals in 2025.

Upslope Brewing is the latest to sell to rapidly-growing Colorado beverage group
This is a shell for a story about Wilding Brands acquiring another Colorado beer maker and it’s probably a big deal.

This is really funny because a big focus of the right-wing mansophere grifters the last few years was growing a beard to be a true man. Now he's out here saying people with beards aren't real men. Just incredible.
Hegseth: "We don't need to be a military of beardos anymore. Do you know how many troops claim to be Nordic Pagan? No, suddenly it's become this real fake religious affiliation inside the Pentagon where troops came to be Nordic Pagan so they can grow a beard and nobody challenges them on it."

I mean, the actual report doesn't really paint a good picture of the economy. They just cherry picked one statistic and called it good knowing people wouldn't read past the headline.

It's wild how badly the pro-life party just wants to fucking murder people.

If this causes wealthy people to leave Colorado it would make the state so much better.

It's funny whenever there are long lines for food people go "this is what would happen under communism" not realizing this is happening under the most capitalist president ever lmao.
Vehicles started lining up at the Texans’ NRG Stadium before dawn as the Houston Food Bank launched a large-scale “supersite” to distribute food to families worried about the future of federal SNAP assistance. NBC News’ Ryan Chandler reports.

Anyone surprised by this literally does not pay attention to internet culture. I’m surprised it was only a 10 point swing.

Pretty sad he's gonna have a bunch of Dem voters line up behind him because of his funny tweets mocking Trump. Policy wise he isn't that great. Someone like Pritzker would be 1000x better than Newsom. But people don't give a shit about policy, they just like Newsom because of his tweets.
When asked in an interview whether it would be fair to say he would give a campaign serious thought after the November 2026 vote, the term-limited governor said, "I'd be lying otherwise."

This might seem extreme to people but he has been a big fan of Rodrigo Duterte for years now, and Duterte would straight up execute drug dealers in the Philippines so Trump is just following a man he's idolized for years.
Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

This is so sad. One of my favorite pictures of me and my wife was taken at Very Nice. It was right after our wedding and we spent a few days in Nederland. Absolutely love that town, hoping they can recover quickly from the fire.

I mean the group that hates the federal government the most is conservatives so.....
Acting US Attorney Nancy Larson: "His words were definitely anti-ICE. That said, we did not find evidence of membership in any specific group or entity ... among his papers though was a handwritten note in which in crude words he expressed his hatred for the federal government."

They just spent the last week saying everyone to the left of them politically is the enemy.

The guy in charge of the US military is proud of the Confederacy. Jesus Christ.

U.S. job growth slower much more than expected in July, and the data from the prior month was revised sharply lower, indicating the labor market could be showing signs of stalling.

The woke college students were right but we can't acknowledge this because then we'll have to consider whether they're right about other things too. That I'm a big stupid moron for instance
It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!
