Today's news in fascism: slavery wasn't bad and you are no longer allowed to criticize the white race for racism because that's racist. In fact don't even utter the word "white" if you're nonwhite because that's racist.

He’ll never get elected. Norms will restrain him. Mueller will get him. He can’t come back from J6. No way he’ll get re-elected. Epstein will bring him down. He’s overplayed his hand. He has dementia. This isn’t who we are. (Fables of the Trumpocene)

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

What I like about Newsom is that he says exactly what I say about T rather than the watered down bullshit we usually hear from Dems. He has my support, for now.
Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

I'm genuinely sorry that Fetterman had a stroke and suffers from depression. But arguing that he has a free pass not to do his job in the name of destigmatizing brain injury and mental health struggles is offensive. If he can't do it, he should resign. If he doesn't want to, he should resign faster.
In which John Fetterman argues with inflamed self-righteousness that he's being bullied into doing parts of the job that he thinks are dumb. Like...showing up to vote. And serving on Senatorial committees. And meeting with constituents. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/u...

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money.
This is murder.
