Man, there's nothing like extreme anger and alienation of the center-left from establishmentarian centrists to separate the democratic socialists from the trust fund dilettante ideological circle-jerk leftists.

Johnson sounds like he's about to cry, but watch Scalise, McClain and Emmer. All of them have have that "my poker face is breaking because of the sweat trickling down my back" look. And check out that blink rate on Scalise and McClain.

Biden didn’t release the Epstein files because Merrick Garland was actively investigating Epstein/Maxwell co-conspirators all the way up until January 2025. Then Trump shuttered the probe. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
House Democrats press DOJ for details on Epstein co-conspirators probe that was "inexplicably killed"
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein provided the Justice Department with "precise and detailed" information about 20 alleged co-conspirators, House Democrats say.

I first heard of "movements," and "periods" in art and learned two of them were "Art Nouveau" and "Art Deco" more than half a century ago. And I still have to stop and take a second to sort out which is which in my head every time because dammit, Art Nouveau is more decorative and Art Deco is newer.
The art nouveau interior of Miite’s Amtsgericht (Local Court) and Landgericht (Regional Court) on Littenstraße. The building, including the staircase, was constructed 1896-1904 by Otto Schmalz. #berlin

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

I hate 'em both, but I do have to admit that when a Republican is president, Paul and Massie so perfectly embody the usually toxic integrity of the ill-informed, gimlet-eyed feudist contrarianism for the sake of contrarianism that passes for conservatism in Kentucky, it makes me a little homesick.
Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

Being a Democrat is about the Sisyphean struggle to somehow convince an entire herd of intelligent, obstinate, risk-averse asses to pull together.

Being a Republican is about willing all the colossal elephants with whom you share a room into invisibility.

The journalism convention that requires stories about the latest annual increases in retirement account contribution limits, the standard deduction or Social Security COLA's to take a breathless tone suggesting it's a bit surprising it's happening at all is so weird.

Burns: The Old Testament says there’s nothing new under the sun. On July 4th, 1776, there was. Everybody up to that point had been under authoritarian rule. It was in the interests of their rulers that they be uneducated, that they be superstitious, that they be distracted by conspiracies…
