God I hate him but thank God we have him right now he is somehow the only Democrat that actually gets it. Any of it. He knows what has to happen to win.
Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not.

He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

If we manage to make it to the end of this administration with our nation and democracy intact, and there is not a Nuremberg Trials equivalent for everyone who ordered, enabled, and carried this out, I will never forgive the Democrats as long as I live.

The man who assassinated Representative Hortman and her husband was wearing a police uniform.

Imagine how much worse this gets when law enforcement broadly gets to do their work plainclothes, masked, and doesn’t need to identify themselves.
I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van?

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Sorry, I know I said Matthew Yglesias is the dumbest fucking liberal alive but the reality is that Will Stancil managed to either be significantly dumber or willfully lying about history because he can't take it that he's wrong about something.

Hey so, that’s what happened in 2016 and 2024. The campaign strategy was left to the politicians and their overpaid consultants and… they won, right?

Right?

Or did they lose unlosable elections because their messaging connected with fucking nobody while the populist ran circles around them?
The older bargain was better, but it’s genuinely important to hold up the side of it where you “leave campaign strategy to politicians” and don’t throw a fit when they consistently take stances that are way more right-wing than the views of the median professor or nonprofit worker.

Eat shit and die. You lost an unlosable campaign because your head was too far up your own ass to realize that your message connected with absolutely nobody. And then you just fucked off when the job you thought you were entitled to passed you by. And now we are on the edge of true, genuine fascism.
Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

You don’t get to circumvent the most important legal doctrine in the history of the most powerful nation in the world because it’s administratively inconvenient you sniveling fuck.

Movie studios try to make a profitable movie people will go watch challenge (literally impossible)

Audiences are just not going for [currently in zeitgeist actors] starring in [yet another franchise movie] anymore, and the execs just keep making the same boneheaded fucking choice.
The ‘OCEANS’ prequel movie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, is still moving forward at Warner Bros.

Set during the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix, the film follows the couple as they teach their children how to steal from the rich.

BUT WHY IS MAGA IDEOLOGY SPREADING, WILL?

Literally the entire thing is about how people are struggling financially because immigrants and woke and [insert culture war topic] are making it that way. MAGA is a fascist ideology predicated on exploiting pain caused by economic trends.
Me: "Clearly the spread of MAGA ideology has been driving modern US politics a lot more than any kind of economic trend"

Internet communists: "Wow looks like we got ourselves a Hegelian here"

Not that they haven’t been doing so for months if not years, but the democrats are just throwing at this point. Having Yglesias speak is just letting a moron flap his mouth but Marc Andreessen is The Enemy.
This is where senator is this weekend.
