Speaking of hatreds, I hate that mainstream journalists permit this double standard, and I also hate that Democrats, knowing how mainstream journalists operate, refuse to make a stink when stuff like this happens, so that mainstream journalists might cover the controversy.
The media made a HUGE deal out of "basket of deplorables" and "cling to their guns or religion."
But, of course, it will totally ignore Trump saying he hates Democrats: "I hate them. I believe they hate their country."

in addition to his "shylocks" comment, i can't imagine the media backlash if Biden said anything like from this screenshot - that he "hates Republicans" - and i'm also tired of having this "IMAGINE IF BIDEN!" thought experiment but it's just a constant reminder of the double standards

You may be thinking "How can an entire political party be organized around the policy of taking from everyone and giving to the rich? No one would vote for them." Well that's where Lying comes in

Republicans in the House are trying to ram through a bill that would make most Americans poorer so billionaires can get a tax cut.
Don't let them get away with it.

Again, it is just straightforwardly the case right now that the U.S. Constitution is no longer in effect. That isn't hyperbole. If the legislative branch and the judiciary sit idly by while the president flagrantly violates the Constitution, I'm not sure how else you'd describe it.
this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

So the Iran Nuclear Deal, a sophisticated multilateral agreement reached by hundreds of adults over a two-year period—which kept us safe for years—has been replaced by a pathetic, obviously false bedtime story about a supposedly obliterated nuclear program being told to us by a known con man

The best part of the Mamdani win is that a bunch of octogenarian Democratic officials might finally be realizing that it's long past time they pass the torch.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence?
Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.

If you watch Trump taking questions from the press and think he’s running the country then there’s no hope for you.
You’re watching him in real time learn what his administration is doing by having the press ask questions about it. He’s completely checked out.

It remains unclear what exactly the administration means by “returning emergency management to the states” but the last time states were completely on their own with disasters was December 1802.
