this is not "everyone is twelve" theory. this is the slightly rarer but typically much more consequential "no one knows what lawyers do" theory
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

they are able to peel back the ACA because its a shitty half measure but if we had gotten real universal healthcare instead no one would dare touch it because literally everybody on all sides would flip out. one more reason why Democratic incrementalism and "pragmatism" is fucking stupid !!!!!

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

one thing i do remember is that the republican party, before it went MAGA, was too weak to keep MAGA from taking it over. remember trump steamrolling all of those guys and now he tells them what to do and the worst elements of his base are in charge. democrats seem that weak now too. no control

What did you think they would do to you after you told them genocide was okay?
You watched them sponsor the terror and slaughter of the people of Gaza. You saw it livestreamed on your phone.
You saw children carrying their siblings' body parts in bags.
And you sent them donations and endorsed them.

"How could Dems cave like this after last Tuesday's victory?" But it wasn't a victory for Schumer. His candidate -- the Trump-supported one -- lost. The jubilation and hope folks feel about Mamdani? Chuck feels the opposite. To sum up: he sucks.

So @shaheen.senate.gov people won't have an answer on subsidies before they have to make a major financial decision about their coverage

they're treating a Nazi takeover of the federal government as no big deal and the possible election of Zohran Mamdani as the end times. it's a remarkable job of failing to meet the moment, and the most revealing sign yet they don't want to do anything at all except cling to party power.
the anti-Mamdani crashout among status quo Dems (amidst a federal fascist usurpation no less) might well be the final harbinger of "whig irrelevance collapse" i've been expecting all these years

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.
Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released with NO CHARGE.
A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

My latest article exposes the political consulting firm that turned the Bernie movement into a $134M cash cow
"Firms like Middle Seat build myths. They provide a costume and a template for candidates to cosplay as populist change-makers, even when their records tell another story."

Americans need to reconcile that this is pretty much what the Obama-era drone strikes were. Any time a prior administration abused its power and it was greeted by a shrug because “we’re the good guys” - this is why you shouldn’t do that.
At least 46 people have been killed in the attacks.
