When the Right says something is biased, they don’t mean they’re upset it’s slanted towards one side, they’re upset it exists at all.
The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.

So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

“Heat pumps are superior in efficiency to condensing boilers, even if the heat pumps are powered by electricity from a power station burning natural gas.”

Not me saying that but the late Prof Sir David MacKay.

In the last month, the FBI has charged players from two different leagues for roles in sports-betting scandals.

Either legalized gambling is exposing corruption that’s always been there.

Or it’s creating it.

Either answer is terrible for sports.

Reporter: Dr Oz said that—

Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

Newsom: Signature series. Sold out at the moment. Because people have sold out and because universities have been selling out, because law firms have been selling out, because corporate leaders have been selling out, people are selling out this country.

Relatedly, I really hate seeing the affected internet leftist cynicism of "young people who are into politics are weird and it anything we should discourage them" takes, another instance of actually just mystifying and wonkifying political involvement and making the claim a self fulfilling prophecy
Speaking as the former Co-Convener of a political party youth wing, I will die in the ditch of "youth wings are good, actually": the Scottish Greens got 8 solid years of quite intense activism out of me it'd have never have got had the Scottish Young Greens not existed and drawn me in!
Like I'm sorry but the average 20 year old wants to hang out with other 20 year olds, not old people. This is a societally universal phenomenon that has to be adjusted to, not "why won't people just"-ed

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.

So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.

Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:
Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE - Bolts
A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

It doesn't matter how the votes ends up now. The narrative is now shifted. The Dems shut down the government. That will be the conversation around all the Thanksgiving Tables. The Dems ratfucked us.

Rooting for the discipline of economic recession
i dont think there’s ever been a point where corporate america has had a sincere sense of morality but it is probably a sign of the times that the culture at most major firms does not even pretend to encourage ethical behavior anymore. the transformation is really stark in tech.
i honestly do not know what major company in america isnt involved in some ghastly shit at this point? i just would not *do* the ghastly shit yourself.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

I believe I’m supposed to be mad that a handful of Senators caved on the filibuster

I’m certainly disappointed, but if the reporting on who was involved is correct, it’s an independent, Fetterman, and a handful of centrists I had written off anyway

Those people were never on my side to begin with!

they explicitly made this deal to set up another cliff, and this time we’ll go off it with the explicit understanding that we’re shutting down the government *but not payments to starving people*, and we’ll be doing it over health care.

We spent months working to rebuild the Democratic brand in the eyes of young voters who wanted leaders who'd fight for them.

Senate Democrats just lit all that work on fire.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

I’m already seeing people insist that even with this capitulation the Democrats will still sweep 2026 because Trump is that bad. It was precisely that attitude that gave us 2024.
