WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!
When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.
There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

If there's one benefit from all the Republican criminality and corruption it's that you never have to treat them like good faith interlocutors again. Every currently living Trump accomplice should be treated at most to a reflexive "Eat Shit" for life, and that's better than they deserve

Any excuse to post my favorite Xitter exchange (for context this was during the Kavanaugh hearings when a bunch of RW dipshits wanted to test whether Christine Ford's story was true by having a young woman try to retrace her steps)

Clapping my flippers together and honking like a harbor seal when a Super Bowl ad for a condiment or gambling app featuring two celebrities unexpectedly reveals a third celebrity as its punchline. Bouncing a ball around on my snout. My wife has to throw me a herring to get me to calm down.

This is one of the laziest and most infuriating dodges that Congressional Republicans are allowed to get away with by the media. They can actually control the President in myriad ways! It's in the Constitution! They are affirmatively CHOOSING to empower Trump!
BERMAN: Trump posted a video w. a racist image depicting the Obamas as apes. Is that a message POTUS should send?
HARIDOPOLOS: I have not seen that video. The number one thing we have to do is elevate the conversation
B: Should he take it down?
H: All I can control is what I can control

over the next 3 years, be ready for seeing a lot of coverage of Republican lawmakers, business leaders, university leaders who did absolutely nothing to stall Trump (on the contrary) — about how *actually* they were wringing their hands all along. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/u...

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen:
A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained"
But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

The left very, very loudly said - between 2016 and 2022 - that inflationary policy was OK so long as it was in service of increased social welfare programs.
So, the Biden Administration delivered that.
In return for this, the left called them out-of-touch on economics and, eventually, genociders.

I think it's true that a lot of Americans have financial challenges they didn't have decades ago but that is not the same as poverty and those challenges are made worse, not helped, by spreading bullshit implications around the idea that we can somehow lower inflation while also providing services

Idiots! On The Barro Podcast
I was in high school in the sticks in 1998 and age of consent guy was a known figure, as was 'you're not supposed to knock up teenagers' so I don't know what the absolute fuck those idiots on the Barro podcast are talking about
the thing is that "age of consent guy" was a very specific, well known, risible, and widely scorned type of guy well before metoo. knowledge of age of consent laws has been a creepy tell for as long as i've been alive. that this wasn't considered weird in elite circles doesn't change broader reality

A bizarre number of people have stepped up to defend Julie Le. What you see in that transcript is an attorney who chose to do evil work—deporting people for ICE then moving over to DOJ in early Jan. specifically to fight these habeas petitions—being called to the carpet. She's desperate, not heroic.
If you want to read the transcript of the February 3 hearing where Julie Le had her "this job sucks" meltdown, now you can:

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

This is a person who shouldn't be allowed to manage their own finances and a slim majority of our fellow voters decided to trust him with the nuclear codes instead.
Trump: I hate even talking about ICE. 2 people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity.
Host: But it was 2 Americans who died—
Trump: We have the smallest trucks. We've been very tough on the waters
Host: The waters?
Trump: The waters where we knock out boats
