It is WAY WAY past time for Blue States to galvanize and work together to save our country.

Hire the experts that TACO fire and publish counter facts, data, research and evidence. For every lie Team TACO says, publish the truth.

Call it Blue America News!!
I just approved the deployment of California resources to Puerto Rico ahead of Tropical Storm Erin.

We’re glad to help coordinate life-saving response to Americans in harm’s way.

Dem Party: We are spending $20M to figure out how to talk to male voters.

Mamdani: Save your money. I have +45 favorability with male voters & +73 with men under 45. Endorse me.

Dem Party: No way dude. Now—why is our favorability is -54? Let's spend $20M on wealthy consultants to figure it out!

Only 19% of Dems approve of the party at this point.

That’s not because we have all of a sudden changed our mind on Dem principles or policies.

It’s because we are so damned scared and so damned disappointed in a leadership team that simply does not appear up to be meeting the moment.

Donald’s magic is busted.

He’s like a sloppy old magician, stumbling on stage with a foggy brain and a dusty hat…
Still waving his hands…
Still mumbling the incantations…
But the rabbit won’t disappear.

The trick’s exposed.
And worst of all?

Everyone can see the damn rabbit.

Tough break, old man

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

In the spirit of the New York Times publishing Zohran Mamdani's personal records, here are records of the Times Co.'s dealings with New York City government.

Here's NYT's exemption from $364,024 in NY/NYC sales taxes on purchases made in 2024; at current rates, that's ~$4M+ worth of purchases.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

There are many complicated explanations for why Dems have spent 50 yrs losing lots of elections, but theres also a simple one:

Dems were a majority party for decades when they championed New Deal-ism & they became a losing party when they sided with money & discarded that legacy

Pictures from today's Hands Off march in NYC. Solid people in 5th Avenue from 42nd Street to 25th Street. Estimated 500k people.

Senate Dems,
Seniority and tradition is what gave us Chuck Schumer as leader. Throw that shit out the window. Pick a fighter that will hold this administration accountable. If you can't do that, then you can get the fuck out too.

We need a new party and leave behind the corporatist, establishment dems, and their highly paid consultants, who keep losing elections for us!
I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

This was such a great speech by Stuff.
Alexander Stubb - President of Finland gave a very empassioned speech about Ukraine which I think we should all listen to.

I don’t often feel rage. That said, I’ve been getting pretty damn close, watching one of the few truly warrior like heroes in the world of leadership…Zelensky…being rat fucked by two of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party

thx in advance
Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"
