Oh man I’m glad the shit folk were saying was bullshit. we gotta stop getting baited by every dipshit who claims stuff without a source or the dumbfucks at Axios with an axe to grind, though them triggering a flood of calls all the time probably works to our advantage.
Schumer on the Senate Floor just now:
"Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to invoke cloture on the House CR."

At this point it’d probably be worth it for him to lose to a Republican
Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) says "I support this administration" regarding Mahmoud Khalil.
"If you‘re here on a tourist visa and you‘re going to Hamas rally, then yeah, you probably shouldn‘t be here anymore. You should get due process in this country, but you probably shouldn‘t be here anymore."

Exhibit MCXVII in 'policy polling is trash and the thing that matters is outcomes'
Today's Siena College poll shows a dramatic turnaround from a December poll.
Now, more NYC residents think that congestion pricing should stick around compared to those who want Trump to end the life-changing policy. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/03/10/s...

I think that this is true as far as electoral impact goes but IMO part of the problem is that Bernie’s signature issues were things that would’ve required Congress to buy into (which is tough in a 50/50 senate) and Warren’s pet issues were things he could do from the executive branch.

the problem with this discourse is that people say that the left needs to “speak to young men” in some general way, but no specifics are ever given because then you’d realize these people actually have no solution
If progressives want to win back young men, then they must talk to them and address their needs, instead of constant scolding. All the finger wagging just drives them to Rogan, Peterson, and the Tate brothers. And they DO talk to young men.

I’ve hauled ass going northbound on the Fairfax County Parkway between 7:30 and 8:00 PM two nights in a row and that’s kind of a weird thing to have happen twice back to back if it’s not for a commute

I think that this is true to an extent but I also don’t think you can ignore the droves of evidence we have that a lot of people legitimately didn’t understand what was going to happen (like that IVF lady from a few days ago)
I sometimes feel the endless "Surely the people didn't know what was going to happen! Did the media mislead them? Did the Democrats fail to persuade?" is just our version of "the wicked boyars must be misleading the Good Czar!"
We can't question the fundamental legitimacy of our system.

It’s too bad that Ghazala Hashmi is already 60 bc on policy she’s probably the best plausible successor to Kaine or Warner long term.

Bera, Case,Hímes, Houlahan, and maybe Costa represent solid blue districts FYI
These 10 Democrats joined Republicans who voted to censure Rep. Al Green for his act of protest during the lie-filled speech Donald Trump, the first felon to be elected president, gave to Congress on Tuesday.

My hobbyhorse in my final days on Twitter was that it’s “the groups” all the way down. None of us or anybody else who posts about politics every single day represents anybody’s views in the real world.
For all the talk about "the groups" not representing the people they claim to, online moderates are wildly detached from IRL moderates

This weird obsession with gratitude is the most infuriating part of this whole thing to me. It’s another point for the divorced dad theory of GOP politics.
Susan Collins takes Trump's side during his embarrassing antics with Zelenskyy. Yikes.

This isn’t just limited to politics. Sometimes I hear humanities people complain about how modern man has abandoned any concept of God or the soul but, like, a supermajority of Americans believe in God, including tons of the cultural liberal educated libs that they’re implicitly talking about.
yes. the fact that 90% of the professional commentary class lives in a handful of very culturally liberal urban areas basically shapes their entire worldviews

I’m all for alarmism about things that are actually happening but having seen the effect of the Doomer economy on my own family members lately I no longer have any tolerance for these hacks. It doesn’t matter if they’re directionally correct or not, it’s exploitive.

US warships will have a harder time refueling in Norway after last nights meltdown.
Haltbakk, Norway’s largest* bunker company will from now on refuse to service US warships.
According to owner it is a direct reaction in support of Ukraine. Company has previously banned Russian ships.

At this point we’ve backslid so far that going back to 2017-era resist liberalism is still preferable to the alternative
Something a lot of people are not going to like is that a return to authoritarian barbarism is going to make bog standard liberalism revolutionary again and people in the US are going to be way more primed to line up behind that than socialism.

I don’t think that this is indefensible but I’d find it more convincing if people didn’t just break it out as a cudgel against the left. A maximum popularist strategy probably means embracing term limits, no taxes on tips, and a bevy of ineffective housing policies. Are we ready to embrace that?
The party will do what it has to do to win. If that means becoming the Nikki Haley party it will do so.

It’s too early to tell bc the election isn’t until 2027 but Fairfax, Loudoun, and PWC all have lingering Republicans on their county boards (and the latter two still have some Republican row officers). I wonder if this ends up blowing back on them.
