Her embrace of Liz Cheney and support for the Gaza genocide were catastrophic to the effort to convince them otherwise.
People I know in Pennsylvania who volunteered for Harris said the biggest reason why young men didn't want to vote for Harris was that they believed she would send them to war.
I’m thinking this morning about all the people I spoke to last year who were absolutely convinced, and tried to convince me, that Trump would be antiwar compared to Biden and Harris.
In the past week alone he has attacked Nigeria and then Venezuela and also threatened to attack Iran (again).

Compare this to the mealy-mouthed nonsense from Jeffries & Schumer. Van Hollen for Senate Leader.
Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.

Fitting that she kissed his arse and begged him to kill her fellow citizens only to get dumped immediately.
Trump on María Corina Machado: "I think it'd be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support or the respect within the country. She's a very nice woman but she doesn't have the respect."

“We respect you, you poor benighted dumbass” is the worst attempt at pseudopopulism I’ve ever seen.
This isn't about democratizing the news. It's about elevating "vibes" and "feelings" to be on par with lived experience and subject-matter expertise.

Kelly Ayotte ran ads in Times Square encouraging companies to move to NH after he won the primary. Like they’re gonna trade midtown Manhattan for Nashua, lmao. The delusion is strong.
Mamdani being sworn in as mayor of NYC is causing all of the worst people to melt down in the funniest ways.

Two years into the genocide and there’s still no bottom.
Israel says it will suspend several humanitarian groups, including Doctors Without Borders, in 2026 for failing its new vetting rules for groups working in Gaza. Some international organizations have said that Israel’s rules are arbitrary and could endanger staff.

Trump guys are about to Comet Pizza every third daycare center because they think they are all fronts for Somali money laundering. They're only doing this near cities with progressive mayors. This is straight up Government by LibsOfTikTok.

is there anybody even denying that the pardons are paid for or do we just kind of all accept this now?
GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.
