democrats love all their moderate, progressive, and top-of-the-distribution leaders <3
they can all live in harmony together under a big diverse tent if they restore regional party identities and stop the circular firing squad on nationalized media <3

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Whenever in the past 5-6 years anyone says “watched anything good lately?” my response is universally “have you watched PATRIOT on Amazon they only made two seasons but it’s one of the best shows ever made.” This is service journalism from @clairemcnear.bsky.social

Disappointed to see the lack of evidence on a Tylenol/autism link described this way—and by a reporter who normally does good health coverage. There is no causal evidence here, and any story on the subject should make that fact clear. www.texastribune.org/2025/10/28/t...

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.

It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

One thing I wish all Democrats knew is that we don't expect you to be fearless. We expect you to be brave. Bravery is not the absence of fear. It is being afraid and moving ahead anyway.

If you find that you are neither, then it is time to step aside. There are people who can do this job ably.
ive never seen anything like rhetoric coming from the right in the last week, this is absolutely insane and it needs to stop and people in power need to start speaking the fuck up like right the fuck now

Patriot aired only 2 seasons on Amazon Prime and is one of the top 10 televisions ever produced.
Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.

What's yours?

Wild. The political murders of legislators in Minnesota were “killings.” The shooting of Kirk which cause is unknown is an “assassination.”

They bend the knee without even being asked.

Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the gov of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken"

This is the official spokesperson for the White House, stating that the President hopes to deploy the United States military to occupy every city controlled by the political party that opposes him. Explicitly.
Leavitt: "These are the bad guys that we are picking up in Washington DC every day. The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city across the country."

Two things are true:

1. This isn't an image DHS created. They're (troll-ing-ly) turning a Spectator cover *into* a recruitment poster here, which isn't indicated in the screenshot below.

2. Not sure why DHS would promote an image where the officers are wearing…historically distinctive…helmets.
