One thing I’d be nice if Schatz and others acknowledged is that even judging their hard right turn on immigration in Spring 2024 on its own terms it failed miserably. In July when Harris took over Trump led on “immigration” by 9pts, by election day he led 13pts. At best it, electorally, did nothing

This is one of the most cynical, incoherent essays I’ve ever read but just as a point of clarification: will high profile Dems who supported—and continue to support—Israel’s genocide in Gaza be subject to these struggle sessions or is it just for random nonvoters? Genocide is fascist and racist, no?

Again, this is why the pulling of UNRWA funds was reversed after a few weeks by ever other country, because it was a bullshit smear job by Israel and everyone knows it. If you don’t agree with me just ask Sen Van Hollen

whatever Trump has in store for the intelligence community (most likely petty score settling, purging of perceived enemies and handing over FP to Heritage and FDD) I will wager my life it will look nothing like the Church Committee

A marker of our uniquely cowardly times, the rise of Placebo Populism. a responsibility-evasion tactic popular with everyone from Joe Scarborough to Mark Zuckerberg to justify MAGA-lite. No one wants to own the evil shit they support so they launder their position as the alleged Voice of The People

for a bizarre time capsule read Donald Trump's 2000 op-ed in the NYT where he announcing he's leaving the Reform Party because it's full of "fringe elements" and David Duke. The previous fall, Trump denounced Pat Buchanan as an anti-semite (which he is!). The past is a foreign country etc

Fondly remember when HuffPost wrote a puff piece for Michael Shellenberger in April 2022 when he ran for governor, calling him a “centrist” whose “brainy style and preference for policy discussion may require some adjustment as he hits the campaign trail.”

look obviously this is bad faith and stupid and it’s all they got but I like the idea that out of context still photography and 30 second clips are interchangeable media which is why when I see the image of Musk jumping in the air on stage I know this is proof he’s capable of flying

This article, while having a throw away section about how the White House refused to use any actual leverage with no critical follow up, is largely doing a combination of Fuming/Deeply Concerned Biden Partying and Third Partying
