You have to love this
@adamwren • 3h New: Indiana Senate Republican Mike Bohacek, whose daughter has Down syndrome, says he's a No on redistricting, citing Trump's slur. Many of you have asked my position on redistricting. I have been an unapologetic advocate for people with intellectual disabilities since the birth of my second daughter. Those of you that don't know me or my family might not know that my daughter has Down Syndrome. This is not the first time our president has used these insulting and derogatory references and his choices of words have consequences. I will be voting NO on redistricting, perhaps he can use the next 10 months to convince voters that his policies and behavior deserve a congressional majority.

Lifetime Democrat here. Not one more dime since you refuse to support Mamdani…and you’re voting with fascists. That’s why he’s successful and you’re NOT.
"They're spineless," Cathia Krehbiel, a 48-year-old Democrat from Indianola, lowa, said of her party. She believes the party's response to the Trump administration has been "scattershot." "I just feel like there's so much recently that's just going abhorrently wrong," Krehbiel said. "And they speak up a little bit and they roll right over."

So he’s bringing in multiple murderers and blocking Little League??
NYT headline: Convicted Murderer Released by Trump from Venezuelan Prison is Free in US. At least some officials knew that Danud Hanid Ortiz had been convicted of a triple murder when he was put on a plane to the United States.

As even-handed as SCOTUS
Graph labeled “One Court, Two Standards” Using its “shadow docket” SCOTUS granted emergency relief to lift 77% of lower-court injunctions against Trump administration. It lifted 0% against the Biden administration.

About as even handed as SCOTUS
Graph of SCOTUS shadow docket rulings. One court, two standards. SCOTUS granted emergency relief 77% of the time to Trump, 0% to Biden.

Still mourning the fact that Deadspin took down “I Don’t Think David Brooks Is OK, You Guys,” Albert Burneko piece. 😞 Although they still have some great stuff left.
By the time Brooks joined the Times Op-Ed page as the token conservative, he was the marketing facade of Brooks Inc. His first book appeared to have been largely contrived, with nearly any point you cared to fact check easily refuted by publicly available information or basic reporting. Asked about it, he scoffed at a young reporter, and called the idea of giving readers accurate information "just something you'll mature beyond."

Makes me think of this:
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves,for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is passed. —Jean-Paul Sartre

WTH is going on with “Politifact”??
Here they even admit Trump had slated Medicare cuts as president but now has “pledged” not to? Have they read Project 2025? Have they missed his trials where he lies nonstop????

Incredible BS on part of Politifact. I guess they didn’t catch the fraud trial and other indictments. Don’t they understand Trump is a liar??
Politifact claiming Biden was mostly false re:Trump plan to cut Medicare, despite having said it before and Project 2025 details.

You were on the right track only #3 superseded #2. Rail lines were allowed to go defunct at the behest of big oil (roads).
